Dumb name, worse logo. Could they have possibly made it more dull and boring?

Yea logo is worse than the name for sure, way too similar to the Sens. Also how does Golden Knights even relate to Vegas, sand? Um try wearing Knight armor in 45 degree heat, laaaaaame.

Agreed. Awful name, just "Knights" would have worked great, Vegas Knights, it rings, and makes you think of "Vegas Nights" and the city....talk about a fuckup. Logo is even worse though, how dull can you get? I'm sure they'll sell tons of Jerseys with that stupid thing on it.
Whats even worse, is Nevada is the "Silver State"...and they have the Golden Knights...so much fucking up.
How do you cheer for this team? "Lets go Golden Knights"? That doesn't flow very well..."Lets go Knights"...oh wait, the name they SHOULD have, lol.

I wonder how they were able to steal that name from the 101st Airborne Division. Being a former paratrooper and former member of the 101st, I'm offended.
The 101st Golden Knights are a crack Army paratrooper group, that performs tricks skydiving etc..

He wanted to call it the "Black Knights" but apparently the military owns the copyright on that or something, so they couldn't get it. Guess they didn't care about Golden Knights...

They could have nailed this, but epic fail.
I knew it wouldn't happen, but thought Vegas Falcons would've been great choice. Native bird to Nevada, one (if not the) fastest on the planet. Cool logo opportunities (with creativity)...so many other options as well...

I didn't think the logo was that bad, maybe I am getting old and uncool though.
Not a fan of the name, I think any of the others rumoured would have been better (Desert or Silver Knights) or just plain Knights (not sure how a OHL team can block an NHL team from using a name if it was London causing issues). I also think not using Knights at all would have been best option but not sure what is better, I personally liked Aces.
Also dropping Las, if true, is by far the dumbest decision of all.

Maybe just semantics, but I actually don't have that much of an issue with leaving off the "las" - Las Vegas translates to "the meadows" - so, you're leaving off "the" - it's pretty commonly referred to as just "Vegas" So while I prefer the full Las Vegas, not that bothered by just Vegas. The rest of it (team name, etc), though, could have been sooo much better...

Agreed, I think dropping the Las was actually the best part of the team announcement for the city, it doesn't need to be there.
