Henderson AHL team unveils name and logo

May 28, 2020December 19, 2020

On Thursday evening, the Vegas Golden Knights Chairman and CEO Bill Foley announced that the name of their Henderson, Nevada AHL franchise will be called the Henderson Silver Knights. 

“Today is a momentous day for our organization, the City of Henderson and the entire Southern Nevada community. After years of planning and preparation, we finally get to welcome the Henderson Silver Knights home,” said Henderson Silver Knights owner Bill Foley. “When we started our initial ticket drive to bring hockey to Vegas and create the team we now know as the Golden Knights, it was obvious this community had all the makings of a great hockey city. That being said, the passion and enthusiasm our fans have shown us over the past three years is greater than anything we could have imagined. Now our fans can watch more hockey right in their backyard and keep a close eye on our players’ journeys as they advance through our ranks with the intention of achieving the ultimate goal: Becoming a Vegas Golden Knight.”

From the Silver Knights’ press release:

“In medieval civilization, the armored warhorse was synonymous with strength, endurance and fearlessness during battle. The armored warhorse helped establish knights as the undisputed epitome of the warrior class. The knight on horseback is one of the most intimidating symbols of its time. A truly fearsome opponent, the knight on horseback embraced the mentality of always advancing and never retreating. The horse played a vital role in a knight’s quest to become elite, assisting in the knight’s training, skill advancement and overall development. As the primary affiliate of the Vegas Golden Knights, the Henderson Silver Knights hold an identical position: Assisting in every aspect of the knight’s quest to become an elite warrior.”

The primary logo creates an “H” for Henderson with the horse’s armor, while there are 20 links of chainmail and 21 rivets on the armor which represent the team’s inaugural 2020-21 season. The horse’s golden eyes pay homage to their NHL affiliate, the Golden Knights. Additionally, the shield shape mirrors the Golden Knights’ primary logo.

On each side of the wordmark are silver and gold spurs (Las Vegas sign star) which represent the gift a knight received when he gained knighthood and was used to drive the warhorse forward into battle.

The primary colors of the Henderson Silver Knights are silver, gold and black.

The Silver Knights plan to play their homes games during the 2020-21 season at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas. The team will then move into a new arena that is replacing the Henderson Pavilion once construction is completed.

The new team comes after the Vegas Golden Knights’ ownership group, Black Knight Sports and Entertainment, LLC, purchased the San Antonio Rampage in February 2020, and moved the team to Henderson.
