Regarding the na "Light," Gan Guoyang agreed, although he personally preferred so slightly unconventional team nas.
Deep down, the nas he truly favored were "Las Vegas Twin Towers" or "Las Vegas Air Strike," or even "Las Vegas 91ers," which were also good ideas.
However, as a comrcial team aiming for profitability, the na's neutrality and poise are very important; too strange or unconventional can be seen as a small team, and Gan Guoyang's ideas wouldn't fit the current Arican social atmosphere after terrorist attacks.
A straightforward na symbolizing positive power can attract more attention to the team.
Moreover, the na Light is rich in aning and resonates well with the character of Las Vegas.
After the na Light was settled, the team logo's basic concept was also established.
Using Las Vegas's famous neon signs as the core design elents, paired with sunshine and basketball, it will have strong recognition.
As for the subsequent choice of team mascot, everyone's opinions were quite unified, choosing the famous Nevada big horn sheep as the prototype for designing the mascot.
Although images like rattlesnakes, vipers, scorpions, and vultures are cool, considering positive associations and profitability, the big horn sheep is a more beloved image.
In the Arican basketball scene, many schools use big horn sheep as mascots, they are very popular with Aricans.
If selling rchandise in the future, families attending gas are more likely to buy their children big horn sheep rather than snakes, scorpions, or vultures.
Gan Guoyang considers using these relatively unconventional team nas and mascots for the future developnt league teams.
After deciding the team na, the design team imdiately started working overti to produce drafts in order to begin team promotion early.
The team's design team was directly brought over by Gan Guoyang from Avia; they were the ones who annually produced a bunch of Skyscraper commorative editions, collectibles, and championship editions, making Gan Guoyang's Skyscraper the sneaker with the most styles and versions, and also the most eccentric in history.
So this design team is very experienced and has a good relationship with Gan Guoyang, ready to use and extrely efficient.
Three days after the first board eting ended, Wang Fuxi held a press conference, officially announcing the new team's na, logo, jerseys, and mascot to the public.
The team's jersey colors mainly consist of gold, red, and white.
White and gold symbolize brilliant light, while red represents Las Vegas's fiery passion.
During these three days, the new team was not only designing nas, jerseys, and logos, but also recruiting managent personnel at various levels, organizing departnt work, and expanding personnel to quickly roll out all work.
In Las Vegas, the Glory team's various promotions and logos appeared in streets, buildings, hotels, and casinos in a very short ti, the speed was astonishing.
The Nevada State Newspaper bluntly stated that it was "the speed of light," truly too fast.
However, while the overall team structure was rapidly built and quickly filled out, the Glory team still faced a major issue, which was the fundantal problem: team formation.
It's like a car, with a body, seats, steering wheel, and tires, everything resembling a car, but the most important engine is still missing.
The Glory team's basketball departnt currently has only one player who can be confird, and that is Gan Guoyang.
Moreover, up until now, the Glory team still doesn't have a general manager specifically responsible for basketball affairs.
This most important position has been left vacant, while Gan Guoyang is using his connections to urgently search for candidates.
Out of respect, his first call was to Pat Riley, asking if he wanted to co to Las Vegas for a change of scenery.
Riley certainly wouldn't co because he has shares in the Heat, not only as a general manager and coach but also as a minor owner.
So Riley knew this guy Gan was joking with him and vented his complaints to Gan Guoyang over the phone.
"Why did you have to co back now? Because of your return, everything is ssed up. Players will be poached, schedules need rearranging, even training camps and preseason gas will be affected."
"Sonny, our team is short-staffed now. When expanding the draft, please, be rciful and don't poach from . Also, our team mbers are itching to go to Las Vegas, take it easy."
Riley has been up against Gan Guoyang for so many years and has never gained an advantage.
He learned long ago not to talk tough or act strong, just giving in would be best, otherwise, he'd be left with a head full of bumps.
Gan Guoyang also called Riley for another purpose: to understand the situation of each team.
Due to the new team needing to join the league at the fastest pace, the impact on other teams can't be said to be minor.
Rosters and schedules will be affected, and with Ah Gan coming back, the managent staff are complaining endlessly, opposing the new team's entry or suggesting delaying a season or two.
But managent is still just employees; the owners' thoughts are what truly matter.
And the offer from Ah Gan is simply too much, the owners don't want to bother with rosters or schedules.
Being paid so much, get it updated, work overti and complete it, stop complaining.
It's just an extra team, missing a player in the division, have the league produce another schedule, what's the big deal?
