Thanks BB.

 

[HanSolo]

Yeah that looks good.

Is it November yet?

 

[MrLouniverse]

It's terrible, but I'm barely excited about this season, I can't stop thinking about next one.

 

[LV*]

Yeah that looks good.

Is it November yet?

Want to hit up a game together?

 

[Not So Mighty]

I agree that the SK is/are forced in to the logo, but I don't care. Who says it has to be subtle? I think this logo is very creative. I love it.

I love this primary logo. Very nice.

 

[kurt]

Is there any date set yet for a name announcement?

 

[HanSolo]

Possibly mid november

 

[KCC]

Well, I don't like any of the names, but if i had to choose I'd go with silver knights I guess.

 

[BattleBorn]

I think that's the same place most people find themselves.

Of the three meh name possibilities, Silver is the best.

 

[nobody important]

I love this primary logo. Very nice.

Don't get too attached. Just sayin'...

 

[MvpKinnon]

I'm sure the name will grow on people after a while. I'm curious as to why they would wait if they have already decided on the name. However, I'm sure it will be a lot better than this:

Well, I don't like any of the names,

...or logo schemes.

and judging by some recent NHL logos (Winnipeg, Atlanta, Minnesota), there's no reason to get my hopes up for a good one for LV

 

[VanIslander]

Could this be....?

 

[BattleBorn]

Could this be....?

Hope not. That is not good.

 

[VanIslander]

Hope not. That is not good.

Agreed. Except maybe as a small shoulder patch.

 

[nobody important]

Could this be....?

No, it couldn't. And shouldn't.

 

[DryIslandBartender]

Could this be....?

Are they bringing back BOOM BOOM too in addition to the old Thunder colors?

 

[702]

That was fan made......

That logo actually has heart, unlike all the sterile and boring vegas mock-ups. They should do something like that.

That link gets us back to my much earlier comment that the desert color in the ice was a red flag for "Desert Knights", to which BB and a couple of other posters/mods poo-poo'd the idea as having no weight.

The fact that a "red rock" color has been cited as part of the color scheme more than suggests that "Desert Knights" will be the name.

I personally really, really prefer Silver Knights for so many reasons (Knights' armor color, Silver State of Nevada, Stanley Cup color, friggin' awesome jersey/helmet coloring).

But Desert Knights I fear - as I did a month ago - it will be. *sigh*

This is what the pads of the Desert Knights will probably look like:

Meanwhile, the colors, Foley said, include an almost steel mesh-like overlay on the jerseys as well as colors that evoke the desert environment of Las Vegas, such as “red rocks".

Steel mesh-like overlay? OK, guess I should reserve judgment until I actually see it but I'm mentally preparing myself for Ewww.

 

[HanSolo]

Kranix I really hope you're joking.

Well nice to have something official. Still a brutally long wait.

It sounded interesting at the time. The mesh reference was to chain mail, and if the visual is used to proper effect it would make for one of the more interesting sweaters in the NHL. However, since knights wore chain mail under their armor, using the effect would give the impression that these knights will be getting undressed. That doesn't bode well for the defensemen.

I certainly understood the chain mail homage, I just think it's needlessly gimmicky. It would be like making the Jets jerseys look like the sleeves are attached with rivets, or having a feather motif for the Ducks. Spinal Tap put it best:



Again, reserving judgement...
