Cut him some slack- he looked about 14 to me. As all these kids do. He probably knows two things- girls and hockey (playing it), end of story.

Things are a little quiet out there so I thought I'd do up a few alternative uniform ideas for interest. Working with the assumed colour combo of gold, silver, black and red...

Enjoy your freedom, you wintertimer.
1. Looks alright but I'm not a fan of how the sleeves are kind of checkered.
2. Looks great. Very easy on the eyes... but like HanSolo said, wordmark logos are not ideal.
3. Sorry but I hate the giant arrows (or are those V's for Vegas?), not to mention it's a black jersey.
4. Looks great. I'd be happy to buy and wear that sweater.

...Thanks...good feedback!
...a few more heraldic-style options for an alt (kept the one on the right)

I like the logo on #3 here, could look good on the #4 uni set

Sort of the same thing as above, I like the logo on #3, but perhaps it would work real well with the #2 and/or #4 uni set

I'd vote #3, 2, 1, 4 in that order. the middle two are by far the best, IMHO (But I would prefer the Knight helmet on #3 instead)
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:
See, I like that, and I prefer Desert Knights over Silver Knights. I just don't see how Knights in any way identifies with Las Vegas in the first place, but at least Desert Knights has the dual meaning going for it to somehow justify the use of Knights. And the desert aspect could be really cool & unique as far as colours go - moreso than Silver. Different strokes I guess.
I still think the name should have been Snake Eyes or something.
Including Desert in the name just convinces me that Foley has never read a hockey message board or news story comments section.
Well from the near certainty of the use of "Knights", that seems pretty certain already.

Call me crazy but I love #1. It's distinctive and original without going overboard. It's a great identity.

Thanks guys...
Doing up "Alt" concepts is always a lot of fun, with there being fewer restrictions on what can and can't be done. (Maybe that's why this L.V. process has seemed so difficult...too many parameters).
Anyway, if it is to be "Desert Knights" perhaps a brown 'n tan set would be great for some sort of "Classic" night. Tan pants aren't that practical for regular use, but they give any uniform a classic, nostalgic, throwback look...
'Twould look good with that above set of goalie gear!

Great work sparkychewbarky. I have a feeling that all these awesome jersey concepts will exceeded the official jersey released by the team.
I think that tan and brown looks surprisingly good, it would be a nice change of pace from all the red teams out there and would give us a pretty recognizable look right off the bat. Being a goalie fan, it would also provide some potentially drool worthy set-ups.

Put me down as another person who likes the tan and brown even though it sounds bad on paper without seeing it.

I know, just think of the possibilities in this palette alone.
Of course, the world of beige can be very demanding. Anything less than a 100% commitment, and you might as well start selling vacuum cleaners door to door.

Ok, ONE team in professional sports wears brown as a main color (and it just happens to be the name of the team, but I digress....)
Shouldn't that tell you something?
That's why I said it was surprising, brown on paper doesn't seem exciting at all, but Sparky's design has me convinced it can work if done right.
Pssh, that just means we'll corner the market on all things brown, think of the marketing possibilities.
