Foley Says NHL Las Vegas Team Has Chosen Name, Will Include "Knights" Moniker

Las Vegas NHL expansion Owner Bill Foley has "decided on a team name," saying that the club has "registered the three names related to Knights" -- Desert Knights, Silver Knights and Golden Knights, according to Josh Cooper of YAHOO SPORTS. Foley said, "We have clearance on those names and we picked one of them." Cooper noted the "holdup now has to do with the team's color scheme and how Foley's vision will look on a jersey." Foley "hopes that the team will have an announcement in early-to-mid November." He said, "We settled on the name about 45 days ago, maybe even a bit more than that. So then it was just refining the logo and refining the color scheme that goes around that logo. We've had five different webinars with Adidas and the League, kind of looking at the colors and how they work together." Foley added, "I just want it to reflect kind of the culture of the team and that's probably why it's taking longer. I'm probably the hang-up. Just trying to get it as close to perfect as I can" (SPORTS.YAHOO.com, 10/4).
