A NZ company was registered on Friday "Black Knight Football Club GB Limited" https://app.companiesoffice.govt.nz/companies/app/ui/pages/companies/8961328
For the name, if the team is to be part of a footballing group, then the name will come from the group and local considerations carry little weight. "Melbourne City" weren't going to turn around to the City Group and say we would like to stay as "Melbourne Heart" please. Change to City and fit in with New York City, Mumbai City, Montevideo City and understand your place in the scheme of things
Same also applies to colours. Melbourne Heart/City changing to play in sky blue like other members of the City Group.
I'm guessing the Black Knight Football group teams will play in Black, Gold, Gray/White similar to the Vegas Golden Knights and the Army Black Knights college football team (and Auckland United!). Unless perhaps the branding point is black stripes, in which case you might have Bournemouth continuing in red and black stripes, and hence Auckland Black Knights are in navy blue and black stripes . i.e take Bournemouth kit and replace red with navy blue.

hasn't happened with the bournemouth team (yet), having said that Foley is only a part owner so has less influence on the name/kit etc. Assuming he is the sole owner of the auckland franchise he has clearly stated the "knights" tag is a thing he likes and is likely to carry though all his teams.
As for the badges in posts above, they look like spartans not knights. I'd had for a logo to carry an image that was no correct to the name. Like Los Pumas, when the image is a jaguar.
