Back in the 80’s (I think) there was a proposal to change the name. One of the

proposed names was 'Avalanche' which I thought was a good option.

Obviously, Colorado heard it and ran with it....

The Swishin’ Swedes wouldn’t be a bad one, in Utah.

No. The Jazz name is a brand now. Jazz = Utah.

None of those are worse than Jazz. And they make more sense in Utah. Almost any

Or maybe since it's been 40 years, you could just get over it. *shrug*

Still sounds as dumb as it did 40 years ago.

And so does "Lakers" in LA. Big whoop.

That one is dumb too. Lakers would make more sense in SLC than LA.

Maybe LA wants to trade names?

Would make sense.

I like it. Peaks would be a good name.

Considering all the plastic surgery in Utah...this could work...

I wouldn’t change Jazz. But this is the best suggestion I’ve heard yet.

I always thought something snow related would be cool like Avalanche but ya know, that’s taken

Slopes could work too.

Maybe The Utah Powder? The logo could be white lines of 'snow'.
