All forms of gambling? What a ridiculous request! That's millions of dollars of the 40-50 nights per year that they'd have to close the casino?

No I believe they just meant taking action on Knights games in the sportsbooks.

This was an absolutely terrific jersey. I believe it was both a blessing and a curse that it reminded me so much of this.

I don't think I've ever had an opinion blown up quite that fast before.

Vegas Golden Knights Chairman and CEO Bill Foley announced today that the Vegas Golden Knights and the U.S. Army have entered into a trademark coexistence agreement regarding usage of the 'Golden Knights' mark and name.

"We are pleased that we have agreed to coexist regarding the use of the 'Golden Knights' mark and name," said Foley. "Our discussions with the Army were collaborative and productive throughout this entire process. We are appreciative of their efforts and commitment to reaching an amicable resolution."

The U.S. Army has used and will continue to use the mark and name 'Golden Knights' and variations thereof in connection with its parachute exhibition team. The Vegas Golden Knights has used and will continue to use the marks and names 'Vegas Golden Knights' and 'Golden Knights' in connection with its professional hockey team based in Las Vegas, Nevada.

I don't know if terms were disclosed (unlikely) but how could it not have been cheaper to get something done with the London Knights?

Some big money must have changed hands here for the army to suddenly be cool with it.
