I don't mind it actually. Got a nice logo (even though everyone is complaining it's a spartan helmet) and good colours.

I think its just "Vegas" - not Las Vegas. Found that odd....

 

Would love to see some black gloves with brass/dark gold cuff roll, grey lettering and red outline. Could look sweet.

I think they did a tremendous job with the logos.  And yeah, I'm sure Vegas Knights will quickly become the preferred nickname.

 

Excited to see some games in Vegas that doesn't feature the Kings or Avs!

I like it well enough and will use it as an excuse to go to Vegas again. hopefully the folks that run beer league tournaments  there will find some way to include Knights games in their tourney packages.

I do think the logo is very Boba Fett though.

Yeah I saw that RIGHT after I posted haha. I don't know how to change the title.

 

"Vegas Golden Knights" 

 

Kind of wish they would drop the Golden though.

I found the "Vegas" piece a bit odd also.  I feel like Las Vegas Golden Knights flows better, personally.  I think "Las Vegas Knights" would have been even better.  Can't be too upset, I grew up watching the Clarkson University Golden Knights every friday and saturday during the winter.

They said the locals refer to the city as just "vegas", thats the reasoning behind it.

Anyone catch the launch of the name with the video? A couple of technical issues to say the least

Why not just call them the Knights?

 

The logo is nice.

They couldn't use Knights because the London Knights owned the rights to the name and they couldn't use Black Knights because of Army, but that was the original plan.

I believe the London Knights balked at letting them just use "Knights".....

imo that stuff shouldn't be allowed. there's too many pro and amateur teams in the world and very few "original" names.

I agree and inevitably everyone will call them the Vegas Knights anyway.

it's getting impossible to take any name now without someone throwing a fit:
