Rumor: If the Coyotes Relocate, Will You Remain a Fan?

[Mosby]

Do the bruins even use a bear logo anymore? When was the last time they did?

It's on their shoulder patch and they use it for the Winter Classic.

Wouldn’t do it exactly like that but that’s as close as I could get haha…a little too ANA-esque, but something close to that would be cool…more copper than orange, and more dark green than teal.

I really like Everett’s jersey trim and sleeves.

For sure. Would look cool on a Yeti jersey, but maybe a tad more rugged looking

I’ll say it now. I hate the Yeti idea. But I do think it’s got a good chance of being the name as Smith himself has suggested it in the past.

Unfortunately, going with Utah (which seems to be the way they’ll go) limits names.

I absolutely hate it as well.

Found out that the Wasatch mountains have moose. I feel like Utah Moose is too simple.

It thiught maybe Utah Bull Moose but it seems stupidly specific. Like Golden Knights. Which I don’t like.

How about Utah Stags? I always think deer antler logos are cool.

The Utah state animal is the elk. Here's the team logo, borrowed from a local Elks Lodge.

I like Stag, logo could be cool. It’s just not as marketable. With the Yeti you have to admit a few things. It’s original, no pro sports team has it so there’s no issue with naming rights. Utah Yetis rolls off the tongue quite nicely. They are mountain creatures so whether they’re mythical or native to Utah or not doesn’t really matter. If the logo is done well and not in a corny cartoonish way, it could look awesome and the opportunity for marketability and merch sales is great with than name.

It would be perfect I’d the Vegas Knights hadnt added a stupid, extraneous “golden” to their name for absolutely no reason other than to needlessly degrade the brand.

But given Vegas did that stupid thing, I can’t imagine we’d add Golden Eagles to Golden Knights.

I mean. Elks would be perfect then. Except it doesn’t strike me as a very strong brand. Utah Elks just feels a little lackluster. It’s a super cool animal. We just landed on a boring name for the thing.

Probably true. It doesn’t matter, Venom and Yeti are undeniably the best two potential names I’ve heard when it comes to the total package of sound and marketability

I dislike both. Vipers I like. Venom I don’t. I also like Yeti much less than Yetis. Which I already don’t like. Team names should be plural. I hate it when they’re not.

Yeah I’m with you, I think it would end up being Yetis if they chose that. Vipers is ok too…I like Venom better though personally. Monuments is ok, but too boring…Stags, Pioneers, all these other ones are too generic and boring. Don’t think any of those happen.

I'm sticking with Skinwalkers.

Yeti is an Asian name for an Asian creature.

Why not Utah Gulls?

Already done.

Doesn’t matter. Minor leagues don’t count.

Generic. Boring. They’re gonna go with something fresh and original with high marketability, especially to younger people. Thats why you’ve seen these newer type names ala Kraken and Golden Knights…they’re original and marketable

Too bad they’re not doing Salt Lake because the Salt Lake Scorpions would be cool

 

[rt]

Maybe I’m biased because of the NCAA tournament but Pioneers is growing on me. Utah Pioneers. You don’t have to use a dumb bearded guy in a coon skin cap. You can use mountains and pine trees. A horse. And Ox. Whatever you want.

Kraken and Golden Knights are both such stupid names.

Kraken crushed the brand. They look amazing. But it’s one of the dumbest names in pro sports.

But yeah. Gulls kinda sucks. It literally sounds like “Dull”. Haha. So I agree.

Do we know this to be true?

Well, also

Haha I don’t disagree, I’m just saying this is a trend. I don’t think there are going to be many young Utah hipsters that want to go buy Pioneers gear…just isn’t gonna happen haha. Has to have some shine to it. We’ll probably find out by draft time so that’s cool, if I had to pick my top 5 that I think it will be between for Smith I would guess Yetis, Venom, Sting, Swarm, Stags
