Two weeks after revealing their name and logo with a party marred by a technical malfunction, the Vegas Golden Knights hit another roadblock on Wednesday.

A trademark request filed by the NHL on behalf of the Golden Knights was denied by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The reason for denial issued in the 164-page document was “likelihood of confusion” with the NCAA’s College of St. Rose Golden Knights.

It is unclear at the moment what exactly this denial means for the franchise. Requests for comment from the NHL after normal business hours on Wednesday night were not immediately returned.
