Lace ‘em up. Time for the Morning Skate.
SAY HELLO TO THE GOLDEN KNIGHTS
After months of speculation about the Las Vegas NHL team’s name (mainly which variation of “______ Knights” it would be), we got our answer on Tuesday:
Behold: the Vegas Golden Knights.
Not bad, honestly. Just forget the fact that the name and colors are kind of similar to the London Knights. Just don’t worry about that part.
As you might expect, the internet immediately pounced on the logo with photoshops. They really should be called the Vegas Magnetos.
