/Meh, go with Renegades

Seriously, wouldn't the Blackhawks (or as everybody in fucking hawkey refers to them, the Hawks) be dead-set against this? Makes no sense.

 

[DJ Fieri]

La Vegas Lost Wages.

all Hawks related names are apparently off the table.

By the time this is done, the only name that will be left is the Redskins.



(maybe Bullets)

Avoid the generic names, use something unique to Nevada

 

[Guywithtoaster]

hopefully they don't go with Nighthawks, Desert Hawks, or Red Hawks because all three are terrible names. They also all sound too similar to the Blackhawks.

my suggestions:
(I'm sure some of these have been suggested earlier in this thread)

Las Vegas Blackjacks - my personal fave
Las Vegas Springs
Las Vegas Mafia
Las Vegas Mob
Las Vegas Scorpions
Las Vegas Aces
Las Vegas Barons
Las Vegas Vultures
Las Vegas Hitmen

The WBL, I remember it well. I watched the Hamilton-based team on TV a few times.

I was on a men's league hockey team maybe 10 years ago called the Nighthawks. We had really nice jerseys but a lot of us made fun of the team name.

The AAA baseball team out there is already called the 51s so that one's probably not doable.
