Default Vegas names: [Desert/Golden/Silver] Knights

Quote:
According to a report from the world guru on logos and team names, Chris Creamer of Sportslogos.net, the Las Vegas NHL team will be named Nighthawks, Desert Hawks, or Red Hawks.

There are three names the team appears to be moving forward with: the Desert Hawks, the Red Hawks, and the Nighthawks. These names were all registered as several different domain names by Black Knight IP Holding Company, LLC, the company owned by Las Vegas hockey owner Bill Foley within the last few weeks. -Chris Creamer

Nighthawks is the best of the three.

Desert Hawks is lame.

Red Hawks is... I dunno.

Why does the NHL need two 'hawk' based teams? It's the Roughriders all over again.

Why not just "hawks" if you're going to copy Chicago.

Aw...I dont like any of those. Nighthawks is probably the best.

If hawks were the deal-breaker I know what would have been better.

NSFW!

Except in the CFL that was awesome.

(Incidentally, it was "Roughriders" and "Rough Riders"--two completely different things )

It won't be the Knights because of trademark issues.

Specifically the London Knights trademark in Canada would prevent the name from being used and Foley said that it wasn't economical to obtain the rights (in other words the London Knights wanted a sh*t ton of money for it)

I think that's why Red Hawks is two words.

And come to think of it, the operative part of "Nighthawks" could be viewed as a synonym for Blackhawks.

#### this.

I know the NHL is concerned about the gambling connotations, but Las Vegas Aces is by far the best name. Bluebirds would also be acceptable.

This is ridiculous....
Can they not pick another animal or a bird that hasn't already been used in the same freaking league?

Yet it's cheaper to knock off the Chicago Blackhawks.

It was Black Knights (because of the Army connection) but I think that Army had an issue with that. Dunno why they couldn't just go "Knights" - I liked the double meaning. Maybe they didn't.

There aren't many left that also make sense for the team and region they are from.
