Tony! Toni! Toné! Originally, the band went by "Tony, Toni, TonÃ©" as a joke, until they realized it had a nice ring to it.[1]

Vegas Golden Knights The team's name includes "Knights" as a homage to the Black Knights of the United States Military Academy, Foley's alma mater, and because knights were, according to Foley, "the epitome of the warrior class".[40][41] Foley had hoped to name his team the Black Knights, but dropped that plan after encountering resistance from federal officials. Foley was unable call the team the "Vegas Knights" due to the London Knights owning the "Knights" name in Canada.[41][42][43]
