FlyEaglesFly76 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Guys, no matter how bad the las vegas DesertGoldenSilver Knights is, just take solace in the fact that they'll be skipping town by 2030. Quebec Nordique Knights, here we come! Fly Eagles Fly, on the road to victory... Philadelphia Eagles: NFL Champions in 1948, 1949, 1960, Super Bowl Champions in 2017-18. Philadelphia Phillies: World Series Champions in 1980 and 2008. Philadelphia 76ers: NBA Champions in 1966-67 and 1982-83. Philadelphia Flyers: Stanley Cup Champions in 1973-74, 1974-75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMac Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 The whole Las Vegas to Quebec thing is for naught. Vegas will not ve going anywhere for years and years, no matter what struggles they may or may not have. I honestly think that the Hurricanes are either in its last year or its penultimate year of existence. Quebec will get its team soon enough.

A team of designers will be placed in a room and given 30 minutes to come up with something. That is how you avoid leaks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that means much. Black Knights probably won't work, as USMA owns the "Black Knights" name. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

hawk36 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I think that whatever Knights it is (Black, Silver, Golden, Desert, etc.) within 10 years they'll probably just drop that part and be the Knights. Kind of like the Devil Rays and Mighty Ducks did. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 14 hours ago, Sodboy13 said: Check out the wordmark at the end of that teaser video. That's the font Reebok uses for all of their NHL workout gear. The fact that it says "Vegas Hockey" and not "Las Vegas Hockey" leads me to believe we'll be getting the "Vegas___ Knights" tomorrow, which is pretty much the worst possible outcome. The Kings' version has "LA KINGS" on it. I think it's a space issue for that design that can't be taken either way plus Vegas is as much a universal nickname as LA. You don't see people saying "York." when referring to NY. Vegas works but that doesn't mean that the official name will be that. Plus in Chris' article it was confirmed to him that "Las" would be included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmac Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 One of the logos (not sure if there are multiple) is indeed a letter V. The version I saw was a black 3D letter V like the one we saw earlier in the thread. No idea on the team name. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreamSoda Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 The new adidas teaser clearly shows the same V as the flyer. If the new PRIMARY logo is just a V inside a shield I am gonna be pissed! </immature rant> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildwing64 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Would be kinda funny if Foley was just leading us on with Knights the whole time and we got something completely random and different. PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
