Dynasty Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Yeah, it probably wouldn't have hurt if they were a little more specific, but what are you gonna do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oso Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Per McPhee (on CBS' Las Vegas affiliated station KLAS) 'Knight is involved but we've got some things that are right out of Nevada and right out of Las Vegas on the uniform. You want something that your players are going to be proud to wear and that the fans will be proud to wear. It has a double entendre that should help i think it will resonate right away and for years and years and that's what you're trying to accomplish that you establish your identity, tradition and nothing has to change." Interesting... I'm going to assume based off that graphic the Knight is going to be on horseback, the Nevada bit will be a logo of the state in some form on the shoulders, while the Vegas bit will probably be something dealing with the Las Vegas sign (maybe the star?).

FinsUp1214 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I wonder if the "right out of Nevada" part could be a "Battle Born" reference somewhere. This, modified and in team colors, could make for a cool patch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worcat Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I feel like "Battle Born" will be on the inside of the collar. Bleeding Blue since 1986 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Did not know about the Posse. My head is spinning at the realization that the CFL had Shreveport and Las Vegas in a league with Regina and Edmonton. That American expansion would have made one hell of a CCSLC thread.

CreamSoda Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 http://vegasgoldenknights.com/ and http://lasvegasgoldenknights.com/ Has a forced "display:none" attribute around the whole site. Seems likely to be the team name. Silverknights goes to a landing page. Desertknights goes to an ebay listing for the urls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uuummm no it doesn't it is a simple godaddy lander for a name with no dns set. try www. first Secondly the guy who is listed as owner owns many domains including blackknight names even after it was said it would not be Black so...NOT the team at all, sorry. Lastly the SilverKnight names are all over the place! Foley did have a woman register some horrible one's 19 months ago but really bad examples. The Desert Knight names on ebay are very interesting, they were registered prior to that name ever being mentioned anywhere and well before any trademark filing by NHL.

The same guy also registered.... nflvegasraiders.com nflchargersla.com vegasraider.com laramspark.com vegasblacknightsnhl.com Seems more like a speculation to me, jmo. But that ain't the team On a side note and ironically the guy who owns them Todd Gladis was in the US Army and lives in CA so perhaps a weird coincidence?

Oso Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I am pretty sure its Desert Knights. That said, if he DOES wind up picking Golden Knights, which has been the least popular of the three by far, I cringe to see the reactions of people here.

Agree 100% That name Golden is unoriginal, lame and used elsewhere that and got single digit poll results if I recall. Desert Knights by far the best and most voted. Now saying that this Bill Foley is a piece of work so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burmy Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 My guess is still Silver Knights...they're gonna have Nevada visually represented throughout the identity, so with it being the "Silver State"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinsUp1214 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I can't read "Golden Knights" without thinking of that scene from Wild Hogs when Doug is urging everyone to say "IT'S THE GOLDEN KNIGHT!" as he attempts to free Dudley, then utterly fails. I feel like if they went with that name and someone out there made the reference, it could turn into a pretty unfortunate meme ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I forgot, What was the reason again it could´t be just Knights ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly because the OHL's London Knights own the Canadian rights to any major hockey team having that name...also because the Vegas ownership is too lazy to actually talk to them and work out a deal.
