And the Gretzky likely still carries some cachet.
Especially in Edmonton.

Nik the Trik said:Apparently the original plan was for them to be the Black Knights but West Point, who calls their teams the Black Knights and who Foley was trying to honor/emulate, said no. Also, apparently the NHL has said they don't want any gambling-related nicknames.

Team confirmed our list last night, now hearing LasVegas has eliminated all 3 Hawks names & chosen something else. Didn't like fan response?
You'd think the league would have something to say about another team going with the hawks name. Chicago must have complained about it at some point.CarltonTheBear said:Chris Creamer @sportslogosnet 8 minutes ago

I don't think the Blackhawks is a huge name problem, but, rather, it's a logo issue. If they kept the name and used a black bird for their logo, there wouldn't be any real issues. The rest, however, should probably be changed (though, I'm kinda on the fence with the Chiefs - I think there's a way to use the name there without it necessarily relating to Native Americans).
