Las Vegas club name, logo, color unveiling pushed back to November
Fans yearning to know what the Las Vegas club will call itself will have to wait a little longer.
The final name, color scheme, and logo will not be unveiled until early November, majority owner Bill Foley said, according to Steve Carp of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
"We had a webinar (Thursday) with Adidas and the NHL and we're still tweaking the logo and the use of the colors," Foley said. "It probably means we're going to have to push back the big announcement because it's going to take time to get everything printed on the shirts and hats. The jerseys will take a little longer to produce."
Those decisions should be completed next week where they will then seek final approval from the league.
As for the delay, Foley also insists that another contributing factor is the location of the unveiling.
"The other issue is Toshiba Plaza," Foley said. "We want to do the unveiling there. But there are very few open dates in October because the arena is being used most of the month. It’s a little more open in November."
The wait, however, will apparently be worth it.
"We're getting real close," Foley said. "But we want it to be perfect."
