For all the time that the Las Vegas team that will be starting play in 2017, there was a lot of hype and misdirection far as what the name of the team was going to be, given owner Bill Foley's penchant for fake copyrights. Last night, the suspense ended when the team announced that they will be known as...
The Vegas Golden Knights.
I don't know about you, but that's not very inspiring. Between Foley's insistence on having the Knights somewhere in the team name to not having the Las in Las Vegas in the name, there was some sharp criticism to be found. Mine will largely stick to what was presented, as the logo isn't going to jump out at you in any manner. It's almost as though they copied the Atlanta United FC template for logos:
As you can see for comparison purposes, neither looks inspired in either design or color scheme. The Las Vegas team's color scheme is steel, gold, black, and red, though the red isn't found in the primary logo. Not exactly intimidating on the ice unless you plan on boring the opposing team to death, though I will wait to see what they trot out for uniforms. If steel and gold aren't their primary sweater colors, it will have been an even bigger wasted opportunity.
