Ryan already got one thing right, making the team name “Utah” and not“Salt Lake”

GhostRider

Outlaws much better than Venom or Fury.

Those are both so bad. Like a little league team where the kids choose the name

Venom and Furries are both such terrible names.

Venom and Fury sound like Arena football names

The mock-up designs on Twitter for outlaws are incredible.. best I’ve seen.

GhostRider

I think Salt Lake sounds better for hockey. I also like the SL options on hats

SL is good for logos.. but like the Jazz, the team represents the entire state.
