Flyers is still the best name because what is a Flyer?

lol at this

Although the name was already picked, management needed to find a good way to publicize it. The solution: A “name the team” contest open to the public, with a grand prize to the winner. The contest winners were chosen among entrants who suggested Flyers or Fliers.

This is good, four words is too many.

Except the word that's cut should be Golden. Congrats on ten years of Golden Shower jokes Vegas, until he sells the team to someone who wises up and renames them he Nevada Knights or Nevada Scorpions.

Apparently, this is the third choice. "Black Knights" was the first, but Army wouldn't let them use it. Just "Knights" was the second, but the London Knights kiboshed that too.

I just want to smile. Just once. I'd like to just, one time, go to Disney World and smile like the other boys and girls.
I look forward to watching the Vegas Golden Knights compete with the Angeles Kings and the Jose Sharks. Perhaps some day they will win the Cup by defeating the York Rangers.

They absolutely are - that's the way design trends have been headed / are "in fashion" for the last few years. See also: Islanders 3rds, Brooklyn Nets rebranding, Oklahoma City Zombie Sonics Thunder or really the NBA the last few years in general.

Scorpions would have been alright but the real fault lies with the NHL for shooting anything gambling related down immediately, because of course the Vegas name is gonna be lame as poo poo if you can't use the one thing people know Vegas for.
