Google turns up some twitter/tumblr spec that it's based on the Russian word for "quiet" because he talks so much and maybe he was getting told that a lot.

But these don't sound all that much like "Tishy" to me:

*shrug*

Would it physically kill them to come up with something that isn't already closely tied to a pre-existing hockey team?

http://news.sportslogos.net/2016/08/11/here-are-the-names-being-considered-for-las-vegas-nhl-team/

Looks legit. This blog breaks down the three choices. (Red Hawks looks like it would run into some of the same trademark issues as Black Knights, etc.)

I hope they go with Nighthawks. I don't like multi-word nicknames.

I guess they'd call themselves Nights for short then? Otherwise Reds or... Deserts???

They'd call themselves Hawks, I'm sure. There's no rule requiring teams to have different nicknames.

I have no love for the Blackhawks, but I can't imagine a new team beating them out in that bit of #branding.

They don't have to beat them? There's lots of teams whose name is shortened to Hawks already.

Not in the NHL. Which is why it would be ridiculous.

Mad love for this Preds video.

DA

I don't know how big of a deal that is. Merchandise would likely just have have "Nighthawks" or "Vegas" on it anyway so we're pretty much just talking hashtags and other common usage. Is that really a big branding issue?

It might be ridiculous to pick it for the team, but if they do name the team the Desert Hawks, they're going to get called the Hawks, not the Deserts. Precisely because there are already other Hawks out there, and it rolls off the tongue much easier.

If everything about your team's brand looks and sounds like a store brand knockoff of a pre-existing team, it's not going to be a good look. It's painfully uncreative, even for an NHL team.

I think you're stretching the fashion metaphor too far. I just can't picture the Blackhawks as haute couture. Although I wouldn't mind seeing Marian Hossa walking a cat walk in something slinky.

... I mean, it's not a really a metaphor. There are branding mimicries of anything being sold. Just not sure why a new sports team trying to build its own independent image and fanbase wants to play that game. You can't trick fans over because you have the same colors or name; just look at the Pens fans and Bruins fans (and soon to be Vegas fans?) arguing over who the true black and gold team is.

Biosteel camp draft. "Hey, that's cheating. That's pretty cheaty. Even for you, the shady king, that's pretty cheaty." I don't even think he was joking.

I love that there is a youtube video for that.
There is also "TI-she", quieter, that would sound the most similar.

Ahahahahahaha*sob*

Weren't there rumours about him disliking Tyson Barrie? If this turns out to be Roy taking his toys and going home because Barrie got a 4 year contract I will laugh my face off.

DA

Yeah, pretty much. The rumor was that Roy likes big, bruising defensemen and Barrie is too small (Barrie talked about that repeatedly after the arb hearing, suggesting it came up a lot) so he wasn't a huge fan of him.

Looks like half the team is gone, including some big names. As to be expected. Arseneau is gone. Pierre-Zabotel is gone.

JP LaFontaine is back, though, so I am pretty alright.

Chris Crane is back! Sharks/Barracuda nonnies, he is definitely a depth guy, but a good one. We might lose him up to a callup to the AHL for a few weeks again, but he'll be back.

Also dear co-captain Gary Steffes! Here's hoping to two captains raising the cup together again!

We signed a guy nicknamed Chewy!

One of the sponsors gave a couple season tickets because they were moving down to Dallas.

There's a special player announcement Saturday! Free popcorn and buck sodas. I wonder what's going to happen? Are we getting someone big?

I also bought my partial season tickets today. My ticket rep was on vacation, hah.

/Allen nonny

I think you'd be a big fan of twitter, you should check it out.

This is exactly what I thought it was about tbh.

na

You might have meant this comment to helpful or you might just be an ass, but I am leaning toward the latter. Leave Allen nonnie alone.

na

I wish Allen!nonnie would identify themselves at the top of their comment, because I was very confused until I got to the bottom :(
