The Golden Knights have seen all kinds of celebrities and athletes rocking #VGKGear ever since the team’s inaugural season. That list includes Lil’ Jon, Shaquille O’Neal, Gordon Ramsay, Bryce Harper, and James Holzhauer just to name a few of them. Add to that list the 2019 Wimbledon champion Simona Halep. Originally from Romania, she has found herself ranked as the world’s No. 1 women’s tennis star for consistent stretches over the past three years. 🎾🏒🎾
