Yeti, Mammoth, Blizzard, Hive. And I don’t care that you hate this name or that

Outlaws

BlooCoug

There’s about 2-3 names on the list that are even respectable

canuckchuck

May 8, 11:26pm

the only thing that I think of with Venom is....

crimedog

May 8, 11:27pm

Which 2-3 do you like and what other better names would you suggest?

May 8, 11:30pm

I think Ryan threw in a bunch of garbage names intentionally to give the 3-4 he

I’m just glad he’s seeking fan input in this rebrand. Really wish he would have

Can anyone vote? Is this election secure? Russia actually cares about Hockey.

Nobody cares about Russia though, at least nobody cares about their loser

What a comeback by the Canucks!

May 8, 10:50pm

Why is it plural?

reagan21

May 8, 10:51pm

Why are there 2 nicknames for Canadians in the NHL?

eysikal

May 8, 10:52pm

There used to be two teams in the CFL called the Rough Riders at the same time.

Oilers = 1 shot on goal in the 3rd period

May 8, 10:52pm

Freaking yewt show in the 3rd

Wow, that was crazy. Oilers just can't lose that game.

Yeti gets polar opposite reactions. May win but with high unfavorable as well.

Tygger

May 8, 10:42pm

Yeti seems to get by far the best reaction outside of CB and from national media

May 8, 10:52pm

Are they going to necessarily go with what the polling says? Or will they just

eysikal

May 8, 10:41pm

Probably just using fan feedback as one data point.

BlooCoug

May 8, 10:41pm

Let’s hope.

eysikal

May 8, 10:43pm

This is first round of long process. They’re going to winnow down to 4-5.

Tygger

May 8, 10:43pm

Yeti, Mammoth, Swarm, Canyons in no order.

TheWanderer

May 8, 10:40pm

Yetis sounds dumb. One of the positives for Yeti is how nice Utah Yeti sounds with the two words being such a close pair

May 8, 10:56pm

I didn’t even notice swarm. I went with hive

If Mammoth happens, the mammoth logo has to be white.. don’t put ANY brown into

GhostRider

This take is horribly wrong. Brown is fine. Copper is better. These concepts are

I’m partial to Outlaws. So much fun branding you could do with this.

BlooCoug

RE: Utah Outlaws.

WJCougar

May 8, 10:48pm

Outlaws is cool, but doesn’t fit the state imo. Similar t Raiders football team

palangi

May 8, 11:04pm

Fit the state...hmmmm...Utah Inlaws?

jdub

May 8, 11:14pm

doesn't fit the state?? How?

crimedog

May 8, 11:27pm

umm, we’re far from being known as law breakers here. Saints would fit though

palangi

I haven’t been following the news about the new Hockey Team. Question: will it

SnickSnack

May 8, 10:29pm

Not going to use Salt Lake in the name. Will be Utah. Which I like.

eysikal

May 8, 10:29pm

Will be in downtown Salt Lake. Will be Utah named.

Tygger

May 8, 10:31pm

I would prefer a Salt Lake option! Not a fan of the “Utah” name…

Utah Black Diamonds. Best name on the list.

2nd worst behind utah hc

May 8, 10:25pm

It's just a ploy so that the team can wear Ryan Smith's wardrobe.

Fits the state, and the symbol and gear would be sweet

palangi

Fits the state? If you have to explain it to the average person it’s terrible

Nah, no need to explain it

pro tip for name selection:

Why not go with the Utah MLMers?

Grizzlies, Raptors, Golden Eagles beat everything on that list. Pretty poor.

Tygger

May 8, 10:10pm

3 worst names out there

kotacoug

May 8, 10:12pm

Compared to Ice, Squall, Blast, Venom, Caribou, Fury, Canyons, Powder, Glacier…?

Tygger

May 8, 10:15pm

You conveniently left out the better, more popular options from the list.

Desert Rat

He said they were the worst names out there

Tygger

Yeah that was weird

May 8, 10:58pm

kotacoug

Just fyi, I voted Mammoth, Outlaws, Yeti, and Swarm

Tygger

The dude interviewing him thought it and he clarified he wasn’t offered.

blueaussie

Ah that makes sense why it’s suddenly a major topic

Your Royal Blueness

Yeah. Said it was very far along in the process. Made it sound like an offered was eminent when BYU called.

Utah Hockey Club for real is the best name

No. It’s the best for real

It’s2024. It should at least have a retractable roof

cougaman

May 8, 9:56pm

Open air slide on/off roof a la Seattle.

Lifi

May 8, 10:15pm

Just get a retractable roof, easy for snow and rain, then open rest of time.

May 8, 10:16pm

I’m actually for not having a retractable roof.

EarlSpeak

May 8, 10:18pm

Once we would get to June, Utah would have arguably the best baseball

Carnac

May 8, 11:11pm

Retractable roof stadiums are hideous

Memmo

May 8, 10:27pm

They also have air conditioners

BigTex

If it's indoors I don't want them. We've had minor teams do just fine in SLC
