NightHawks would be cool if it were the military theme and not a damn bird.

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.

ETA: TFP and I are on the same page.
Where is the "None of the above" option in the poll? I hope this is actually just a rumor, and the name is not chosen from these.
Prefer Nighthawks, but all three immediately brings to mind Chicago Blackhawks and the Red Hawks bring to mind both the Red Wings and Blackhawks. Not a good move in my opinion.
It's almost like having two teams in the same league being named the Roughriders.
I'm hoping this is a massive smokescreen and somehow things got worked out with Knights. I really came to like the Knights name and concept.
I could learn to love Nighthawks, but it's still too similar to Blackhawks.
I recall reading that the Blue Jackets had to get permission from the Blues in order to enter the league with a name that was somewhat similar.
That said, I feel like any of these Las Vagas ________ Hawks names are way more similar. If I was the Blackhawks, I would fight this.
I personally do not like any of these names. I really love the Las Vegas Aces. Why can't they go with that?
I think Nighthawks would be a decent way of getting "(k)night" in as an option, but if a team that's not even in the league is objecting to using knight, I can't imagine there wouldn't be an uproar from the most successful NHL team of this decade.
Again. If other teams/entities have given Foley and Co difficulties, these names wouldn't be finalists if Chicago had a problem with it.

Well, at least it's not as bad the CFL having two teams called the Rough Riders.
Not that any of those three are bad names per say, but with the Blackhawks and all, you would think they could be a little diverse and creative with the name for heaven's sake.
I can live with Nighthawks. I'd be interested to see the logo and colors that would go with.
Then again, this could be a decoy to keep the domain squatters at bay.
I've got to think that time has passed (likely a year and a half ago to be honest.) We're in filing trademarks and making things happen time now.
