Tim Saunders made a pre-game comment about how the uniforms were supposed to be glow-in-the-dark but "the game isn't played in the dark."Who designed these uniforms for Vegas? They’re absolutely hideous.
‘Just so Vegas:’ How the Knights’ Reverse Retro jersey was designed
The Golden Knights asked Adidas hockey if it could make a jersey that could glow in the dark. Eight months later, the franchise had a sample in the mail.

It was all part of the Knights’ latest advancement in professional sports marketing and entertainment. The NHL came out with its second batch of Reverse Retro jerseys this season designed to echo parts of each franchise’s history. Many were inspired by old logos or color schemes. Only one glowed in the dark.
The Knights pitched the idea for their jerseys. The folks at adidas hockey are used to the Knights wanting to push the envelope, so it came as no surprise when they asked for something no professional sports team has had before. The results of their work can be seen again during Friday’s game against the Philadelphia Flyers at T-Mobile Arena.
