Nail Rat posted:The Wild and the Blue Jackets were both officially named around 2.5 years before their first drafts. This team is going to be drafting in 9 months and the owner is still by his account registering fake names to throw people off the trail of what they're actually going to be called. Maybe the NHL should've allowed Foley to start the naming process earlier

And he couldn't have thought up an alternative in case they wouldn't? This process has been going on for years. Also it's not just that there's not a name (although he should have had his names picked by now if he's not doing a public vote), it's that he's registering fake names on purpose that makes it silly.

You just know if the team is called the "Desert Knights" that there's gonna be an event called "Nights in the Desert with the Desert Knights" or something along those lines.

It'd be kinda cool if they were the Silver Knights and used silver/black. I guess things would get kind of weird when playing the Kings, but I always liked that about Pittsburgh's teams. Although I'm sure there's no way the creator would want to base the identity around a football team. pizza valentine fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Sep 15, 2016 |

Make the Kings go back to purple and gold or stop slobbin' the knob of whichever LA basket/football team is popular at the time and choose their own colors. Or slap em in Clippers colors  e: wait, no, rams colors haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Duke Chin fucked around with this message at 00:52 on Sep 16, 2016 |

Lessail posted:You're really intent on poo poo talking this team Your third post in this thread is saying you hope you don't need to wait until September for the name. Now we know the name's not being announced in September and the guy is still registering fake names. Meanwhile the Raiders are already able to start building their Vegas brand (sure Raiders jerseys sales etc. that Vegas people buy right now will be shared with the league since it's all online, but they'll be building a fanbase at least), it's not good for the something knights. I hope they work out but he's playing this really wrong. They should've been selling jerseys and shirts before the Las Vegas Raiders basically became a certainty.

Also good job of comparing a team moving to Vegas with a team starting here I guess much like talking about the time frame of naming to draft instead of the time frame of granted team to name, you'll pick whatever lovely angle you can

You have incredibly thin skin. I find it dumb that the guy doesn't have his name when it's seemed inevitable he was getting a team a year ago, yes. I dared to make an offhand comment that the team might have issues keeping fans if they were really bad, yes. Those are literally the two things I've ever said against your exalted team. You are holding this grudge like a crazy person. I do hope your team works out because I think it's really cool for Vegas to finally be getting teams but this is not going well and you're stupid if you don't realize they're loving up an important time. The NFL is way, way bigger than the NHL and the possibility of the Raiders moving to Vegas has looked legit for like six months, yet the Creator keeps pushing back his reveal date (it was originally supposed to be September, which you yourself thought was a long time). I mean if you wanna be rah rah and pretend you don't see that this is being handled poorly feel free. I think you are actually the Sin Bin guy.

The Winnipeg Jets held out on their name until their first round pick of the draft. That was plenty stupid without an NFL franchise breathing down their necks. I know Foley wants the Knights name bad, but George Lucas also wanted Luke Skywalker to be a sexagenarian. If this is what's holding everything up, Foley's just going to have to deal with it, and pull a name from his rear end.

Lessail posted:Once again you do not consider the NHL dragging their feet nor them not wanting anything official with the team done until they granted it You have a point there. I can understand not having picked a name although I still think he could have had a knight and non-knight one picked out because Bettman can't keep him from just thinking about it or asking family/friends. But registering Sand Knights as fake intentionally is just dumb, they already have 3 possible knights. Even if the goal is not to "leak" the name (who cares), he already had 3 knight names he was considering, plus a couple others. It's knowingly registering more fake names that seems dumb to me but YMMV.

If they can't be the plain old Knights, they should just move on because all forms of [ADJECTIVE] Knights sound like a dang ECHL team Desert Knights would own for stupid reasons but it seriously sounds dumb for a professional team name
