50% to winning as many division titles as Toronto
Disclaimer: This is a rumor, although a rumor from a guy that has connections and it's been picked up by a lot of other hockey sources.
Just have to wonder if the Blackhawks have given the go ahead here. Chicago claimed ownership of the "Hawks" shorthand nickname back when Kansas City entered the league and initially tried to be the Mohawks, and Blackhawk opposition was enough to get them to move towards the Scouts instead.
Granted, the KC team also wanted to have an Indian Head logo, so that might've been a bigger factor in the conversation, so might be an apples and oranges comparison.
Of the options.... Nighthawks, I guess.

God I'm not gonna enjoy saying Let's go Hawks.
Don't get me wrong, before Winnipeg joined the league and before the three cups, Chicago was the only team I could claim was my "second" team and they're technically my "number 4" team behind Vegas and Winnipeg (though I've tired of their recent dominance).
But chanting Let's go Hawks will feel like I'm rooting for Chicago. At least at first.
I'm figure the Hawks (Black) kind of lost the ability to have an issue with Columbus entering the league with their name. I'm guessing a precedent has been set.
Either way, I don't have to change my chant while I watch games.
#LetGoHawks
ETA: TFP and I are on the same page.
Almost got to go with "Go Hawks Go" if it's going to be one of those. Let's Go Hawks is way too Chicago.
Agree with above sentiments. I think probably it's already been decided as Nighthawks (which, yes, is admittedly the best of 3 meh names, in my opinion.) The other two are only listed as cover so it isn't as blatantly obvious that they're just thumbing their nose at London's asinine insistence on trying to prevent them from having a variation of the word "Knight" written in black on their jerseys.
I don't think London was pushing back against Black Knights. Seems like it was West Point doing that and there is a lawyer out here who owns the copyright to Las Vegas Black Knights
Just as bad as the Knight options. I don't care about the name too much as long as it isn't truly terrible but it'd be nice to have something likeable.
