Vegas' big unveiling wasn't without an unexpected victim.
The University of Central Florida, which went from using Golden Knights to Knights as its team nickname in 2007, tried to make that clear after the NHL's newest expansion franchise announced Tuesday night that it was adopting the former.
Thanks for taking the 'golden' off our hands, .@VegasHockeyNHL 😁

The school's athletics department changed its Twitter bio to further emphasize the point.
But even that wasn't enough to deter people from claiming Vegas was copying UCF.
Soooo how was everyone's Tuesday night? Anyone else get called an old nickname a bunch of times?
