That’s just how it goes with new teams any new team will sound strange for the first few seasons. Jerseys and mascot will look strange too

There is already the Las Vegas Golden Knights, new team should be called the Las Vegas Legionnaires.

Man your team’s named the fuckin Knickerbockers lol

All (most) team names are stupid or weird while they’re new. Then you get used to them

They sound like Overwatch League team names. Luka to Vegas confirmed

Some absolutely terrible names.

I remember the outlaw and scorpion logos in Madden when you’d make your own team. And if Venom would have a snake logo there’s another one. I can’t help but think there was a joker one too for some reason.

Why does Madden 2005 have better relocation and stadium rebuilding aspects than current Madden just freaking ridiculous.

Las Vegas Crypto Dot Com Arenas

Las Vegas Be Sure to Drink Your Ovaltine

The Las Vegas Props, so you can have player props on your Props players.

As in, “the league has suspended Props player Jaylen P for intentionally missing a free throw”

The jokers are just begging for comments on their inadequacy

For me it kinda sounds Magic-y as well. I’d prefer Outlaws as there’s at least some grit to it and Raiders is there too.

Itd be so lame its the name of the hotel they just closed down. Jokers would be kinda tight though even though that could be used against them too lol

He Hate Me is about to be the highest selling jersey in the NBA.

Denver lacrosse would like a word.

I can’t wait to lose to this team

Stealing ideas from Jackie Moon and his bear-wrestling shows

That would be the best magic show with real ghosts!

Crazy thing is they’re both dead and the tiger attack was 23 years ago what the hell

Did they ever still perform after that one tiger chomped on Roy?

Venom as the NBA team and Vipers as the G League team would be sick.

Feels like they’d drop the Las and just make it the Vegas Venom if that’s the pick

I’m pretty sure that the Venom is the default name for a Vegas expansion team in NBA 2K26 if you play MyTeam mode.

Idk why, but I don’t like it.

Just a worse version of a card based name than Aces

i always liked russillos suggestion - las vegas regrets

I actually kinda like that tbh.

Or Spades

Las Vegas This Thing

Las Vegas Goodfellas

We’re with the vipers! 😲

should be the New Vegas Tunnel Snakes

tunnel snakes rule

lebron is called the king and there is a team called the kings

Magic Johnson played against the Magic

“Joker is kinda lame since there is a player Joker.”

I mean if Larry Bird and the Hawks could coexist I see no issue here.

Agreed on venom, Jokers would probably have the most logo potential though 😂 picturing like some generic Harley Quinn type shit 😂😂 I picture something like the 90s raptors with a big azz lizard lol

I really do wonder how fans took it when the Orlando Magic became a thing even though Magic Johnson was still playing.

His name isn’t actually Joker lol

There’s a lot of Knicks in the league too.

Conversely, Jokers is one of the worst names I’ve ever heard for an NBA team.

I liked Vegas Villains and they could embrace like a whole classic villain motif

Yeah it has to have some relation to the area in some way I know they’re trying to avoid gambling links but something like that works

Yep, none of them are landing in my opinion.

A few are bad like Jokers, but most are because they’re new and we have gotten used to them. If someone pitched the “Denver Nuggets” for an expansion team today, people would be cracking jokes at how bad of a name it is.

It sounds silly like that, but if you just phrase it appropriately like “x has signed a contract to join the Thunder” sounds perfectly fine

“Such-and-such has signed a contract to become a Wizard” is pretty dope though. Like, letter from Hogwarts vibes

magic

just add “man” to any of them and it slaps

“Such-and-such has signed up to be a Mirage Man”

The Helpline

The logo can be a snake’s eye with a thin pupil, but has additional stripes around the sclera that makes it look like its a basketball.

I like it too. Everything else feel cheap and gimmicky

I don’t think it fits a sports team though. Unlike Heat, Magic, Thunder, it can’t be visualized in a logo.

The WNBA Las Vegas Aces is way better than that.

That’s not good at all.

Look into the history of the word “spade” in the US and you might rethink that

If we’re being totally honest the Vegas Kings branding would be perfect given the connection to both cards games and the Golden Knights. Like it sounds right but tragically already taken.

Las Vegas Unjustifiable Waste Of Resources
