Apparently Las Vegas needs to come up with a new name for the team since their trademark got denied.
Shared too many similarities with a trademark held by a different sports team.
Quote:
A USPTO document made its way across the Internet on Wednesday evening detailing the rejection of Black Knight Sports and Entertainment’s (the company owned by Vegas team owner Bill Foley) attempted trademark. The reason for the denied request? The Vegas mark shares too many similarities with The College of Saint Rose Golden Knights.
