Sodboy13 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Coach Jeff Jagodzinski has announced on KOZN-AM that the team's name will be the "Omaha Knighthawks," and that the team's colors will be black, silver, and white.Jagodzinki also alluded to a "Zombie Appreciation Night" at a Knighthawks home game, as a nod to the online movement which attempted to name the team the Zombies.As was the case in Sacramento, Omaha's team has selected a name which was not one of the given options in its "Name The Team" contest.

Sodboy13 Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 I believe it's actually spelled "Omaha Nighthawks"Much appreciated on the correction. I was basing the spelling off of the NLL's Rochester Knighthawks.

gosioux76 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I would have preferred the alliteration of Nebraska Nighthawks over the Omaha Nighthawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rams80 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Well, I like the naming tribute to the F-117, but minor point of order to the coach: That bird is not sleek, has a max speed of Mach 0.92, and actually gives you better aerodynamic performance flying backwards.
