****hawks now?
Quote:
“There are three names the team appears to be moving forward with: the Desert Hawks, the Red Hawks, and the Nighthawks. These names were all registered as several different domain names by Black Knight IP Holding Company, LLC, the company owned by Las Vegas hockey owner Bill Foley within the last few weeks.”
- RedHawks are not a real bird, but a bowdlerization of “Redskins,” the previous name of Miami (OH) sports teams. No, you’re thinking of red-tailed hawks.
- Nighthawks are actually nightjars, an entirely different order of bird.
- Desert hawks are not a thing. Just, like, a regular hawk that lives in the desert I guess.
The iteration doesn’t matter—Hawks are boring. As far as predatory animal team names go, only Wildcats are more generic. And hey, there’s already an well-known and successful hockey team who already have “Hawks” in their name.
Our Tim Burke, an expert on both animals and on states, provided this offhand list of animals native to Nevada, many of which would make for a fine team name: antelopes, bats, bobcats, mountain lions, jackrabbits, weasels, owls, sandpipers, flycatchers, scorpions, bighorns, bison, lynx, foxes, sidewinders.
