Ark Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Good. Golden Knights is a good name and it means they will always have that metallic gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilSox Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Crap. Granted, if they just added Las in front of the team's official name, none of this would sound nearly as bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 This was never going to happen like we were all hoping... Foley is a big-time donor to West Point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkychewbarky Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I always found it strange that Foley asked permission from West Point to use the "Black Knight" monicker and colours, but... while being fully aware of the "Golden Knights" parachute team, decided NOT to seek permission from that group. After being refused by West Point, was this a matter of "better to ask forgiveness (and work things out later), than to seek permission? *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is also possible that he viewed the Vegas Black Knights hockey team could be potentially confused with the West Point Black Knights hockey team, and that the Vegas Golden Knights would not be confused with the West Point Golden Knights parachute team.

London owns that trademark. ...and on multiple occasions I’ve had to dig up a quote from the London brass saying they were never contacted by Foley, but that they were open to talking. I can’t help but think negotiating with an OHL team would be a hell of a lot easier than negotiating with the US Army. I’m firmly of the opinion that Foley always wanted a two part name, and when his first choice was turned down he went for the second best US Army associated name.
