...A lot of talk lately about an NHL franchise in Vegas, and, although the prospective new owner apparently likes "Black Knights" as a team name,
I think that "Aces", with an "air force" spin would be the way to go.
Nevada has a rich aviation history with several airfields situated in the state.
The largest (Nellis Air Base) is home to the USAF Thunderbirds Team.
The Winnipeg Jets gave a nod to the Canadian Air Force with their theme, so why not have Vegas do the same with the USAF.
(Imagine the promotional possibilities when these two teams hook up).
So I've done up a concept with a logo inspired by this famous American warplane insignia...
The barred or winged American star roundel has existed in various forms since 1947 (according to Wickipedia).
