Ugh. Desert Knights is trash.

I know he wants "Knights" in the name but he could be a little more creative.

What is a desert knight? when were nights in the desert? Crusades?

Crusaders, Templars, Byzantines, Saracans

When you Google image it, you can see there's lots of different possibilities for imagery and, ultimately, marketing. I think it could work well for them.

I kinda like the Desert Knights. Also a play on "Desert Nights" or "Las Vegas Nights".

But I also think "the Vegas Night" would be a cool name and also is very relevant to the City. Although I'm sure haters of the "Wild" will hate the "Night" too.

The Vegas Knights would be a cool name for the team, because of the play on the word Knights.

They could come out to the ice to

I like Desert Knights more than the other options. At least it's unique in the NHL.

Would love to see the logo.

"Las Vegas Crusaders" would be a good name, actually. But they really seem to want 'Knights' in the name somehow.

Then when Vegas gets its NFL team they'd have the Raiders & Crusaders.

I like that!

That stadium looks sick and that's a great location. Although I want to barf thinking about traffic on the 215 and 15.

Yeah, I don't like the religious connotations. It would be like naming a team the Jihadists or Inquisitors.

Desert Knights and Silver Knights both work for me. Sound pretty rad. Could create some awesome logos and overall imagery around that.
