Faiz Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Foley had said Oct. 8 that the name would be the Desert Knights, Silver Knights or Golden Knights, and that the colors will include gray, gold and a red-rock hue from the Nevada landscape. Source: NHL.com Personally, I don't like the way four words in the team name rolls off my tongue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Colloquially they'll be known as the Knights. In the same way most fans don't call them the Blackhawks -- just Hawks.

siddious Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Anyone know the origin of "desert knights"? Is it a reference to Anything or just a name they thought was cool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Bill Foley, the team's owner, is an Army West Point grad. What he wanted was Black Knights as an homage to his Alma mater. Problem is Army recently trademarked it, so they had to shift gears. Enter "Other" Knights.

I don't see how branding for a "desert knight" - whatever tf that is - can be cool lol They had "Aces." It was there for the taking. It would have been cool and everyone would like it. But no.

Future Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 NHL nixed that idea....Nothing that can deem related to gambling. The NHL is the "They" I was referring to. How the heck do you market a team named "Desert Knights?" Aces is a no-brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing that same search lead me to this, which I guess I could live with as long as they don't actually use that much armor. http://boards.sportslogos.net/uploads/monthly_2016_09/LVAWAY.jpg.52b29e3fc43263c566f6d455d7904bb7.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I love the knockout "V" in the Knight helmet. Very subtle and clever. Wordmark: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Clutch Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Where the hell is the Las?! Also, pretty sure golden showers is going to be the go to name to make fun of them Also, why the hell are they using a spartan helmet? logo is cool but call your team the spartans then, not the knights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deejaid Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Unfortunately the shape of the shield is very similar to the LA Kings. Plus, wouldn't a Knight be subservient to a King? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
