*VEGAS Golden Knights*

Does Detroit have a trademark or naming rights to "Tigers"? If so, there are a lot of colleges and other schools who will need a Patent Attorney.

 

[Mike Jones]

It would suck for the people who have already bought shirts or hats with the name on them if Vegas was forced to chose a new name.

If there is a name change those items would be instant collectors items.

 

[kurt]

Name change would be great.

What's the shortest life of a team name ever in major pro sports I wonder?

Public school nicknames and trademarked business names are two different animals.

It's hilarious how bad this makes Foley look. Every excuse he's put out there hasn't added up to why the team name was chosen. His ego got in the way with this naming process and it's so evident.

You had how many months to choose a name and you STILL chose one you weren't supposed to use and didn't let the know you were going to use it.

Lol we could've gone with the most logical and least ugly sounding _____ Knights name, Silver Knights and have been done with it.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Las Vegas Aces was always the best (even better than Knights)

But oh no gambling we can't have that.

 

[jwhouk]

If it is not Vegas Golden Knights on opening night in October of 2017, I will be shocked.

Thanks Foley! Can't wait for ownership change and rebranding already!!

Alright, it's been a week and a half. You haven't had time to digest and enjoy yet?

No lol I refuse to let the minor league Circus act lieing off easy.

What's done is done, we'll get used to it.

They can lie about anything they want until there's a team on the ice AFAIC.

I got that jaded boyfriend syndrome. She lies off that bat what else she gonna lie about. Lol

Outside of the naming contest, which they walked back pretty early, what was the lie?

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

I'm excited to see the schedule! I definitely want to see the Habs if they play here.

I'm thinking the Habs game will be one of the ones I dump to get a little cash back.

Was listening to NHL network radio today and one of guys that played for the ECHL team or whatever it was in Vegas said they used to have like 18+ nights and they would have strippers be the section attendants for those games. Might be a good idea.

 

[jwhouk]

Eh no.

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

 

[jwhouk]

Of course, that doesn't mean that the Venn Diagram of "Population of Strippers in Clark County" and "Population of Ushers at Golden Knight games" might not overlap...

I would be dumping when the Rags, Hawks and Flyers come to town.

Sounds like one of their promotional night games. I know one season(maybe more), they were sponsored by a strip club.
Billy Johnson was very creative.

How about for the goal song, the team gets permission to use the University of Central Florida's fight song? (They used to be called Golden Knights but are just Knights now).

It should be Viva Las Vegas. That and have like 20 slot machine bells go off as our goal horn.

 

[ICantDriveLV]

Oh, and I'm fine with Golden Knights. I get it. It could have been worse, it could be the Los Angeles Angels of Anahiem.

Us Knights gotta stick together. Especially when you consider that UCF is the highest-enrollment 4-year university in the US (at least it was last year). I know someone from my high school that went to UCF and still lives in Orlando to this day.
