Las Vegas Silver Knights, Purple and Silver

This option is of course, similar to the first name, but would have a bit more sleekness and shine than the gold. In my opinion, the “Golden” part of the team should represent a more yellow color, but with silver, having that shine and genuine glow would work out. There would also be more of a variety with the jerseys, considering silver is a more neutral color that can go with a lot more than gold.

Given that the silver is usually strong when complimented with neutral colors, this would look great with a royal purple. Given the eliteness associated with the name like the Knights, using a purple would indicate something fierce, and combining that color with silver creates an even more intense and powerful combination.

Las Vegas Desert Knights, Gold-Sand and Gray

Nicknaming the team “the Desert Knights” has become something of a favorite for fans around the league and in Vegas. The city has been thirsty for a new nHL team for years (no pun intended… or was it) and this name just indicates that excitement of bringing hockey to the desert.

Thanks to the fact that they are the only team joining Arizona in the Western, dry region, the name is fitting and would absolutely catch on. Given the presence of the desert in the name, this team would look great if their jerseys resembled some kind of gold-sand color.

With this in mind, the neutral color of gold, a grayish color would look great here, or perhaps even a silver. With these colors, you get the desert and knight aspects, and a combination that is flattering to the eye. If they want to give a “dark knight” kind of look to these jerseys, the gray would work in the sense that they can make it darker and have that further compliment the desert color.
