KNIGHT UP CAMPAIGN
The Vegas Golden Knights are encouraging fans and local businesses to “Knight Up” for the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs by wearing their jerseys and creatively displaying gear and signage all throughout the Golden Knights playoff run.
Last season, local partners, businesses and iconic city landmarks creatively activated around the playoffs in impactful ways, including Lady Liberty donning a 28-foot tall VGK jersey and the Bellagio creating a 90-pound sculpture of Marc-Andre Fleury made out of chocolate. Additionally, VGK signage was displayed on window fronts of businesses all across town.
Fans are encouraged to share photos and videos of them representing the team on social media using #KnightUp.
