LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – ¡Vamos Knights!
The Vegas Golden Knights unveiled a new “LosVGK” mural in downtown Las Vegas within the Arts District. It is located behind the Casa Don Juan restaurant.
Officials with the team says the project aims to celebrate the team’s connection to its Hispanic and Latino fanbase. It’s the latest rollout of the LosVGK brand that was introduced in October.
“This mural and its location capture perfectly the significance of art and food in Hispanic and Latino culture,” said Vegas Golden Knights President & CEO Kerry Bubolz. “The Vegas Golden Knights are proud to play a significant part in the culture of the Hispanic and Latino community in our city. We thank the artists for their efforts in portraying that.”
In the mural, VGK mascot Chance is seen in the purple Hispanic Heritage jersey with the Stanley Cup and a “¡Vamos Knights!” callout. The background is said to be inspired by elements of the logo including the Sugar Skull Knights helment and florals.
The team says the mural was organized by the Graffiti Park Foundation with valley artists. A list of mentioned creators could be found below:
