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.

    • I agree with this 100%. I forget what tour player said it but they mentioned how in pro ams they hear amateurs say how they always make a majority of their mid range putts. His reply was no they don’t because if you did you’d be better than everyone on tour. Even pros think they’re better than they are. Back when stats weren’t as well known as today they asked a bunch of pros what the make percentage was on tour for 6 footers. The consensus was around 70%. Crenshaw was the closest with a guess of 50%. Actual percentage was 54%. I always thought it was interesting that one of the best putters was the closest. 
    • Day 145 - 2025-02-22 7-7 today at Golf Evolution. Managed to sneak in some work while waiting for dinner when I got home, though.
    • Day 15: 2/22/25 Putting through50 mm gates weight shift drills. Playing tomorrow, and will see how I do.
    • This is a good point and I’m going to go down this road. I’ll get some data on both techniques, compare the two, and then make a more informed decision. I’m bad about going off of what I “feel” is the best but should definitely approach it with more hard data.  All that being said, this made me laugh and is likely the cause of me wondering if the broomstick would be a better technique. I mean, who doesn’t want to get a new putter?
    • Day 32 (22 Feb 25) - Got in some wedge work with the 58° in the backyard before heading to a noon band rehearsal.  It’s the weakest part of my wedge game, so figured it would be good to work on distance control for a few minutes - varied the distances and lies from 5yds out to about 25yds.  Nice little drill session to kick off the day.
