Ha ha. On two counts.

  • Ditching the word "Las." So dumb.
  • Pretty dumb of the trademark office, IMO. Seriously, how many teams are called names of other professional sports teams? A lot of team names have overlap, sometimes within the same sport at different levels. Pitt Panthers and Carolina Panthers both play football, and the Florida Panthers play hockey (though not very well this year).

Besides which, the big problem is The College of Saint Rose. What about everyone's favorite ECAC hockey outfit? The Clarkson Golden Knights.

They seem to picked the name from playing Create A Team mode on NHL17 too much!  :banana:

I'm not sure if getting rid of "Las" is completely awful because they're eliminating redundancy.

We occasionally chuckle when we think about our local MLB team:

The The Angels Angels of Anaheim

I thought The Las Vegas Rat Pack would have been better.

That's part of the proper noun, though.

OT, but I am working on a project at Clarkson University right now, and they are CRAZY about their hockey teams (men's and women's).

I don't mind the "Vegas" instead of "Las Vegas"...that's what most people call the city anyway.

Quote

Similarly, the examiner considered “Vegas” in the NHL’s “VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS” to be a mere geographical description of origin of goods or services and also less dominant.

This seems misguided.  Everyone is going to know them as Vegas' sports team; that's their predominant feature.

Saint Rose is right down the street from me. Couple of very close friends went there.

      Golf Workouts

      Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ConorHealy · Posted

      Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.

      PING G425 9 Iron Rattle/Noise

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.

      Maintaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.

      Golf Workouts

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
