Right? What kind of weirdo thinks that looks like a vagina?

Looks more like a butthole to me.

I'm guessing they got caught up in getting it V-shaped for 'Vegas', and it just sort of happened. But still, that's not a knight's helmet.

Although I have no major problems with the design maybe they could've gone with a magneto helmet look. Where the v is above the opening.

I get what you're all saying with this, but calling the city "Vegas" is common. It's a weird thing to point out.

Los Angeles logo is "LA" but we leave that alone.

SL Blues, TB Lightning, NJ Devils...

I like the colour scheme.

But I'm mostly just glad that there's not another red/black/white team in the league (Calgary, Ottawa, New Jersey, Chicago, Detroit, Carolina, Capitals, sometimes Canadiens, Panthers, Islanders, etc).

I hope past and present Knights don't get offended by the name choice. Especially the Golden ones.

They are expecting to sell out of Vegas Golden Knights merchandise tonight. The line still goes through The Park outside T-Mobile Arena.

Said it a few times in here, but despite the absolute s***show of a presentation, I was very impressed with the turnout of fans at the event. A few thousand people there at least. Fans already booing Bettman. This crazy stunt might actually work.

Primary logo looks awesome. Secondary logo looks fine. But if they put them on grey jerseys they're idiots. If it's going to be gold, it's going to be green and gold, and the London Knights are just going to have to deal with it.

I'd say they could use black for home, but black home jerseys suck, and... yknow... the Kings.

Also agree that it should be Las Vegas.

So they hired the same team to prepare for this as the Calgary Next unveil? Or was it better?

I know one thing. Vegas Golden Knights have better special teams than the Flames.

It was actually worse, but there wasn't as much money on the line, so it's a wash.

Should have been the Las Vegas Aces. It's obvious but it works so well. Maybe make the logo of a WWI fighter plane to give it some depth.

He talked a lot about the "black knights" in the video. Wonder why they didn't go that way.

The main logo was fine. The shoulder patch was a bit odd with the inclusion of the red. But then the Flames have made bad shoulder patch decisions.

The name is kind of growing on me. Golden Knights. It really isn't too bad at all.
