4:13 pm
"something" could be... john..cyndi.... as we've come to find out through this whole process... bill foley isn't just a great a businessman... he's a great show-man.... every time he gives an interview he always leaves you wanting and asking for more.... and he did it again this past weekend...almost teasing us....giving just 50-percent of the team name... "the team will be something knights, k-n-i-g-h-t-s, something knights." in an interview on sportsbook radio with host brian blessing, las vegas hockey owner bill foley painted us the most descript picture to date. with not just a name....but the jersey's and logos. "red rocks, that red color, vegas oriented. it almost looks like a steel mesh with another color underneath the steel mesh that brings out that knight look, these are going to be great looking jerseys and great looking uniforms this is going to be a name that our playrs can rally
4:14 pm
never give in, we're going to create a culture." and that culture is something fans are chomping at the bit to be a part of. "we're excited to rally behind a team, locally it's a big thing for vegas, so being able to attach ourselves to a jersey and color scheme is going to be a great time for everybody." foley says the colors are done. the name is trademarked. the domain name has been reserved. "i am thrilled, it's not as good as black knights, but 99% as good, too much push back from people, army got worried about us using black knights and i didn't want to fight that battle." foley also tells brian blessing that they are planning to break ground on the practice facility this wednesday. the site is just east of downtown summerlin. the two ice rink, 105-thousand square foot facility is estimated to cost nearly 20-million. but as exciting as construction is for the staff. it's all about the name and jersey's for the fans. "the name people will eventually wrap their arms around, the jersey has to be slick and i think they realize that, the caps, the
4:15 pm
sweaters, will take off." "it's something the fans rally behind, something we're going to wear on the front of our jerseys, back of our jerseys it's something cities bleed, it's imporant to have a good team name, something people can rally behind." "either way it will be something on my wish list for christmas i'll have to ask my parents for.so" bill foley says he wanted to make the full name announcement prior to frozen fury weekend... which is the two games being played at t-mobile starting october 7th.... but that is not likely anymore.... so we're still waiting on an actual date...
