Team name and jersey ideas

[The Burdened]

Give me Yeti with purple as the main color.
I would be all for a bee theme, but there is way too much yellow in the NHL.

 

[zenthusiast]

I like the ring of the Utah Saints but have no sense as to whether the different root compared to New Orleans’ nickname would matter

 

[Puckrobber]

Blizzard (Automatic rivalry with the Avalanche?)
Pioneers (Celebrates the OG Utahns.)
Yeti (Might make for cool jersey designs. Plus, a partnership with the Yeti company?)
Black Diamonds (Snow freaks might love something of theirs on a pro team.)
Venom (Snakes and scorpions related.)

Hello Utah, from the Winnipeg Jets forum.

Utah Cool-Jazz

I like Utah Venom or Sting/Stingers with a scorpion /bee combo for logos…think it’s a cool idea. Others I like…

Utah Ice Wolves
Utah Hive
Utah Swarm
Utah Outlaws
Utah Yetis

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Utah Salt Lickers
SLC Punk!
Salt Lake Electrolytes
Utah Mission
The Salty Bastards of Utah
Salt Lake Rustlers
Utah Canyon
Utah Deseret
Utah Skinwalkers

 

[SjMilhouse]

Utah Swarm
Utah Big Horns
Utah Stags (I don't love the name but love the idea of an Elk for a logo)

Just not Yeti please

Names that I've seen get suggested that I think are unlikely:

Utah Stingers - CBJ mascot named Stinger
Utah Gila Monsters - VGK mascot is a Gila Monster
Utah Blizzard - possible, but getting into Avalanche territory
Utah Black Diamonds - Major League Pickleball team
Utah Pioneers - also possible, but the term is very closely tied specifically with Mormon settlement. The Denver Pioneers may also matter.
Utah Eagles/Wranglers/Thunderbirds - AHL teams. Colorado Eagles would be the most relevant.
Utah Archers - pro lacrosse team
Utah Raptors - NBA Toronto Raptors, can play against the Jazz in the Delta Center.
Utah Cougars - BYU's nickname.

 

[Blame the referee]

I always wondered how a new team decide to choose city or state name for the club

 

[Ranksu]

Utah Thunder?

 

[Foggy1097]

Not sure how there’s not a pro sports team with the name dragons yet…so the Utah Ice Dragons. Logos are too big, but cool concepts.

I would love to see them go with the Golden Eagles but I don't think that happens.

It was the original hockey team here in SLC.

one of my good friends ai creations

This is probably my first choice but probably conflicts too much with Golden Knights too.

Guess we will just have to accept the Salt Lake Saxx and call it a day.

 

[Foggy1097]

My favorites of the concepts I’ve come up with so far…

Utah Ice Wolves

Utah Hive

 

[Felonious Python]

Utah Thunder?

Tampa Bay Lightning

Probably works better than New Zealand, add any word to white or black for men's sports teams and any word to ferns for woman's and you have reached the limit of this countries sports name creativity. All Black's rugby, All Whites soccer, Tall Black's basketball, Ice Black's hockey, Silver Ferns Netball.

The name of our badminton team... the black cocks.

I think all this countries creativity went into making the 50,000,000 ending in LOTR.

"Tall Blacks"??? yeesh

 

[Llewzaher]

I think my favorite name would be the Utah Venom

My color combo would be:
- Steel Blue , and copper .. white as a highligt
- second option would be charcoal , with beige and light purple highlight
- third option would be black with copper and cyan as a highlight

 

[AintLifeGrand]

Red Rocks/ Rockies

Black Diamonds

Arches

Big Horns

Mountain Goats

Antelope/Elk/Moose

Pioneers

Miners

Grizzlies

Golden Eagles

Lake Effect

Cottonwoods

Pfeifferhorns

They probably don't want anything even tangentially biblical, otherwise Utah Wrath or Fury would work

All I know is the jerseys better be fire. Unique in style and color palette.

 

[GrumpyKoala]

To be honest, I rather when they go with the city name than the state, province or territory.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

I surprisingly don't hate the Utah Hive idea.
