Dale Ouise posted: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. It was stupid for Winnipeg, yes, but the team was already selling a ton of Jets merchandise before it officially became the name, and all of that sold merchandise led to the name of Winnipeg Jets. (The owners wanted to simply upgrade their AHL identity of Manitoba Moose, but the fans wouldn't have it.) That name was basically a fait accompli. For Vegas, Foley should have had names ready to go. He doesn't have to go through the NHL's process to ask around, get some good ideas, and start working on general branding concepts. Come up with a half-dozen Nevada animals, a couple military concepts, and something Vegasy and slowly eliminate them until you've got a winner. It's not that hard. Looks like the Vegas team is going to be a hilarious clusterfuck of a franchise, possibly even more than the all new Las Vegas Raiders, a historical clusterfuck of a franchise.

Lessail posted:It's not but keep dreaming of that thought like everyone else that isn't in vegas It absolutely is. Phoenix relocated a team AND picked a logo in about six months. Many expansion cities were ready to go right away. Bill Foley can't even pick a name without publicly making a fool of himself. If Bettman didn't want a team in Vegas, Bill Foley would be this decade's Jim Balsillie. Also, if the Raiders move, they will be the #1, #2, and #3 teams in Vegas.

FrenzyTheKillbot posted:The issue as far as I can tell is that he did have a name ready go go, and it was the Black Knights. Of course in this case "ready to go" means he picked it without ever asking anyone if there would be trademark issues with the name, which should have been really obvious considering he was trying to name them after an existing team. And that's the stuff you have off the record discussions about. Lessail posted:Looks like Minnesota was six months from being granted to official name. Columbus was June to November. None of those teams had owners getting profiled on Hockey Night In Canada, pulling out various objects with Black Knight names while commenting on what a great name for a hockey team that would be, what his name choice is, etc. And neither of those teams promised to have a name by a certain time, before publicly flailing. Also, if the Maloofs are involved, incompetence is on the way. AsInHowe fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Sep 18, 2016 |

JAMOKE UPDATE - Foley has acknowledged the development of a unique sweater material that looks like a steel mesh. - He's keen on the double-worded "Knights" name, but earlier stated a dislike of "Silver Knights". - Foley stated that he a vision of an "Excalibur"-like sword being pulled from a rock in an opening ceremony.

Nail Rat posted:Are they supposed to be just shoving duffel bags under their personal folding chair? I don't see anything else in this room, or room for much else for that matter. Yeah, just stuff your bag under the chair. Real NHL quality facilities. The Joe Louis Arena had nicer locker rooms 20 years ago, and not only of the wings moving out of there after this season, but the original architect apologized in the Detroit news paper for not including any amenities in the building.
