Knights Vegas Golden Knights trademark dispute continues

Could we see the Vegas Sand Knights take to the ice?

Golden Knights isn't a great name. Sand Knights is worse, and it'd be funny if some other Sand Knights came out of nowhere to contest that one.

I think of them as the "Knights" regardless of what comes in front.

Should have been Neon Knights.

The faux-alliteration, the relevance, and the cool colour schemes would have been well worth it.

I can’t help but feel that HBO and Game of Thrones are missing out on a good crossover marketing opportunity with Las Vegas on this one. They should pay a licensing fee and name the team after a Game of Thrones character.

If they can't be the real Golden Knights, maybe the Pyrite Knights?

Why they weren't the Vegas Blackjacks is beyond me.

Golden Knights has a little connection to hockey history with the Golden Seals - that's a reach, I know, but why I like it.

Las Vegas Jesters would've been a cool name - their colors could've been purple, green and red, and their mascot could've been the Joker/Harley Quinn.
