Owls is a great nickname, underused in pro sports. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Night Owls would be pretty badass, really. It's a famous painting, Las Vegas is a city defined by night life, and owls are found in and around the Las Vegas area, so it makes sense. Definitely an underused moniker in sports.

SFGiants58 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 "Owls" really is underused, and there are loads of logo options (aggressive, orinthologically-correct, cartoon, feathers on a letter/forming a letter, etc.). Also, if you're worried about owls not being aggressive enough of a name, let me remind you that those birds are pretty vicious...

The team left a void for the Internet to fill. People have been tossing around names like crazy for a long time, and everybody gets their favorite. Then, everyone is disappointed when their favorite doesn't get picked, even though each "favorite" may have only had 5% support in a giant, wide-open field. Pick a name early, and people will get used to it... if it isn't terrible. I'm already mentally composing the OITGDNHL chapter on the naming of this team. Depending on how this all pans out, some of the more absurd parts of this story haven't even been told yet.

AnPheitseog Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Sad day that yet another team will not use Rhinos as their nickname. Waiting for the day a team other than Rochester uses the Rhinos. Formerly known as DiePerske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Giant Pacific Octopus Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I agree about Owls being a badass name. Back around 1994 when Toronto got an NBA team they had a name the team contest. I submitted Toronto Snow Owls. Unfortunately they choose a winning entry from a young girl that loved Jurassic Park and named the team the Raptors! I groaned pretty loud when they announced that name. I still groan even to this day. The Catch of the Day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eRay Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Has anyone discussed the possibility of the team being the Golden Knights or Silver Knights and wearing either White or Black? Blue Jackets wear blue. Blues wear blue. Red Wings wear red. Golden Knights wear black. It doesn't fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
