Edited Posted November 7, 2016 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.
Phil Posted November 7, 2016 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. Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk
Phil Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 I need to see how they try and pull it off before I can condemn it. Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk
siddious Posted November 8, 2016 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?
Phil Posted November 8, 2016 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. Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

Has nothing to do with Vegas. Oh well lets hope the logo and branding is cool at least.
Future Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 ahh.. still kind of stupid. Has nothing to do with Vegas. Oh well lets hope the logo and branding is cool at least. 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.

Pete Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 NHL nixed that idea....Nothing that can deem related to gambling. Which is uncalled for.
Future Posted November 9, 2016 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.
Future Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 I googled desert knight and this came up.. KIND of cool? lol lol. 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

Phil Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 I love the knockout "V" in the Knight helmet. Very subtle and clever. Wordmark:
Captain Clutch Posted November 23, 2016 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
deejaid Posted November 23, 2016 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?
deejaid Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 Might as well fill out the Pacific Division to even the conferences....the San Francisco Queens!
