this is a joke, right?
I think it's pretty cool. ...
The "Dealers" logo was from a collection posted on ESPN.com earlier this year. I had never seen it before, and found it intriguing. The odds are still with some variation on "Knights" - despite the local objections.

"Knights" reportedly would have run afoul of the Canadian trademark held by the OHL's London Knights.

As for the loss of "Las" (or is that the lass of "Los"?): I noticed that truncation immediately, but I've seen no significant web chatter about that choice. I guess "Las Vegas" is just a place, while "Vegas" is a state of mind. Like Billy Joel's "New York" ... or Jay Z's (feat Alicia Keys) "Empire" ... and "involuntary manslaughter" ... :twisted:
