How will the NHL name us, VGK looks so strange, VEG might be much better.
Or how about GOL.
I wouldn't be upset with LAS

Regardless of their short-sighted & silly decision to drop las the name of the city is not VegasI think it'd be a slap in the face of fans to abbreviate the name to LAS when they decided the name would only be Vegas.

VGK for the team is just as strange as CBJ for Columbus or TBL for Tampa Bay.
The NHL seems to prefer abbreviations that use the first letter of each word instead of the first three letters or the City name, so VGK is probably the most lilely option.

Yeah, LAS would be inane.I know, but the official name for now is Vegas Golden Knights, I don't think they'll abbreviate the team name to LAS when it's not even part of the name.
vgk has a good ring to it, actually. Like atl or cpk, i could see that as shorthand. Veegeekay.
For you old vegas folks, maybe you remember gpk?
Why wouldn't it be LV? Most two letter cities get the two letter abbreviation.
Tampa Bay "TB"
San Jose "SJ"
Los Angeles "LA"
Etc.

The team IS in "Vegas", the tourist region, NOT the municipality of Las Vegas.Because the team and Adidas, in their infinite wisdom, decided that the team was in Vegas instead of Las Vegas.

They didn't decide it is in Vegas. They just went with the fact of the matter.
