Trademark has been denied.

The TLDR: Trademark Office rules the Golden Knights LOGO is too similar to the College of Saint Rose, a division II school in Albany. The main conflict has to do with how the name appears on the logo.

In the end they will probably be cleared by either paying off the college or slightly adjusting the typface but have to admit it's not the best press to have.

Especially after that big announcement thing which was an epic fail... They don't exactly look like they have all their I's dotted and T's crossed if you know what I mean.

I don't think that they even look that similar, at least not from the pictures in the article. 

It will be pretty amazing if they have to change it, though. That would be a total fail.

This will become a non-issue once the check clears to the college from Vegas
