Desert Knights

Like that name better as first choice. Silver Knights a nice second choice I could live with. Golden Knights, the name of "death" I hate. But oh well, ok, and so forth we move forward on but no matter what very excited Las Vegas now has an identity in hockey. In it to win it!!

I submitted Neon Knights, as a nice play on words, and could also have some flashy neon type uniform like the Seahawks.

Since the "nights" in Vegas are filled with neon, I felt it was a pretty good name and uniform concept

Silver knights might have been better given Nevada is the silver state.

and seems odd to only use vegas as the city name. and no interlocking LV alternate logo to be found.

Sounds like a high school football team.

Stupid name

Should have named it after the NHL commissioner:

"Las Vegas Bettmans"

Fans cry would be "GARY! GARY! GARY!"

Because an ice sport in the desert makes perfect sense...they release a logo yet?

When they suck, can they be nicknamed the "Golden Showers" ?

Already have some gear, they're my number 2 team, since I live in Nevada. Not my first choice for a name, there were some others floating around that were a lot better, but the logo isn't bad.

From what I hear they are not going to suck that bad. Supposed to be the best expansion team ever. First expansion in salary cap era.

Just Las Vegas Knights would have been better.

I think that will be the name eventually, hopefully, kind of like the ducks dropping the mighty.
