in august 2017, lashbrook, alongside nevada governor brian sandoval, las vegas mayor carolyn goodman, and usl officials, officially announced las vegas as the 33rd member of the usl at a fan festival at zappos headquarters in downtown las vegas. during the presentation, lashbrook announced six potential names (viva vegas, las vegas silver, las vegas fc, las vegas lights, las vegas action, and club vegas) for the franchise, with the official name for the club being chosen through a fan vote. shortly after midnight on august 29, 2017, las vegas lights fc, a combination of the two most popular names during the fan vote (las vegas lights and las vegas fc), was announced as the team's official name during a presentation at the fremont street experience. following the announcement, lights officials asked the public to submit designs, ideas, and colors to help the team create its inaugural logo. on october 30, 2017, the lights released their inaugural crest which resembled the outline of the famous welcome to fabulous las vegas sign - rotated 90 degrees and included the official team colors of blue, yellow, and pink. the colors, which were originally used on the placeholder logo presented when the team was first announced, were adopted officially after many of the fan submissions for logos incorporated the three colors.
