The NHL's 31st franchise has its identity.
With league commissioner Gary Bettman on hand to provide his endorsement, (and after an unplanned delay), Bill Foley, George McPhee, and the executive team assembled in Las Vegas revealed Tuesday night that the NHL's incoming expansion franchise has been named the "Vegas Golden Knights."
The franchise also presented its official logo and official colors - steel grey, gold, black, and red - which will be worn next season when the NHL delivers the first big-four professional sports franchise to Las Vegas.

The Golden Knights also released a secondary logo, designed from a collection of swords to create the star from the "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign.
