It's been over a month since Bill Foley was awarded an NHL franchise, and it's going to be a while until the Las Vegas team's name and logo is revealed.
The number of options has been reduced from 18 to four, the owner said, and the goal is to have it all settled prior to the start of the 2016-17 season.
"We're making progress," Foley told Steve Carp of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "We're in a pretty good position now and we're meeting next week with the NHL and Adidas to look at logos and designs. We'll have a little more clarity in the next 30 days."
Some variation of "Knights" remains in play, but Foley admitted there's a conflict with that exact name.
"The London Knights (OHL) own the name in Canada and to acquire the name from London is not economically feasible," Foley said. "In the U.S., 'Knights' are fine. But we can't use it in Canada."
The four names will also be kept a secret until the official unveiling.
"We want to make it a special event for everyone," Foley said. "I know everyone is anxious about the name. But we want to get it right."
