I like the Golden Eagles for the history. Would be happy with that.

Can't go "Golden Eagles" when there's already a "Golden Knights"? Non-starter

eysikal

You do realize that Knights are different than Eagles, right?

Eddie

The Golden Eagles name dates back to 1969. That trumps the slight inconvenience.

Do either Golden Eagles or Grizzlies reside in Utah?

Golden Eagles absolutely, Grizzlies use to but development has pushed them north

Tygger

The Caps have an eagle on one retro jersey and their mascot is an eagle. So,

come to think of it, 2 of the 4 Caps logos are eagles, so Eagles are a no go for

I'll be honest. I think "Golden Eagles" is boring and generic. I’ve seen several names I think generate a lot more buzz.

RdF3

3:18pm

Agreed. I've come around to the idea that Golden Eagles would be a home run.

CaliWG

Golden eagles is a horrible name. It shouldn’t even be mentioned as an option.
