If they couldnt have black knights then why can they have red hawks? Maybe they should have called the team the blackknights

Also apparently the NHL shot down anything gambling related from Day 1 which begs the question, "Why even bother going to Vegas?"

We want the ball & We're going to score
My guess on THE CREATOR'S line of thought process:

Hmm... what are two of the most popular US franchises? Chicago Blackhawks and Detroit Redwings... Awesome. Maybe we can use those names? NO? drat. How about Redblacks? What do you mean it's already taken? How about Black Wings? No - wrong demographic? How about Red Hawks? Maybe? Awesome, let's do it! Oh, sorry Adidas, let's not do it and do what ever you do.


btw, I am cool with Black Knights as a name

What attitude problem?
While the name is pretty bland, I don't have a "wait that really is the name?" reaction to it the way I did when I saw the New Orleans Pelicans.

it's a shame because las vegas aces could have been a really good, if obvious, name, working on both the level of being a gambling reference and letting The Creator get his boner on for the military

The team and local press are referring to the owner of the team as "The Creator."

It's incredibly dumb.

Hi, SinBin! I assume you have an account and are reading this!

Your blog sucks and your transparent attempt to get work as the expansion team's eventual SBN blog will fail. I mean really you sound like a goddamn Trump groupie with some of your posts. Why don't you just call Bill Foley "Daddy" already and get it over with?

Nah, our local media is garbage but they're not that garbage. It's just this doofus pretending to be the worst SBN blogger since RevHalofan.

See, I like Vultures because it alludes to the sordid history of Vegas if you think about it (the whole "take you out to the desert and snuff you" urban legend) without being ultra obvious. If they can't do obvious names like Aces or Blackjacks, do a subtler version, y'know?
