Team name and jersey ideas

Yeti has had NHL licensed products for years. The above shouldn’t be confused as a new partnership.

My understanding is that Fanatics is the reason for the extended timeline.

What is the Fanatics connection?

Fanatics needs a certain amount of lead time to produce a range of products, so your design needs to be locked in earlier than what is possible.

I’m glad they’re only doing four names. Outlaws is certainly one of the four also. I suspect the fourth name is Blizzard.

My preference is for Outlaws. But since I don’t really love that name, and since I know kids love the Yeti name, I’m equally fine with that. I like Mammoth less that Outlaws but more than Yeti. But I don’t think the kids like it as much so it’s 3rd on my list. I don’t care for Blizzard at all.

Black Diamonds is my favorite of the 20 but I’m sure it didn’t make the final four. Mountaineers is growing on me.But again, doubt it made it to the final four. If I was king, they’d be the Bighorns. But that didn’t even make the 20.

I still think Yeti and Outlaws are the only two with real shot. Though I maintain that in a head to head, at least half of the Outlaws votes will really just be anti-Yeti votes.

So pumped Mammoths are in the final four. Would be an awesome brand.

Especially with Bill's strategy of assembling mammoth sized hockey players.

Unfortunately it’s Mammoth - singular.

 

[Arizonatah Coyetis]

Outlaws or Mammoth(s) please.

Unfortunately it’s Mammoth - singular.

Doesn't bother me really. Feels like Deer, Sheep, Moose, Bison, Fish (etc.) where the singular and plural forms are the same. I could go either way.

A herd of Mammoth or a herd of Mammoths. It's all the same to me.

Edit: According to the dictionary, plural is mammoths though. Watch it turn out that they're strictly thinking mammoth as in huge and we're all thinking about the hairy elephant lol.

 

[lanky]

Pretty sure that it's meant to refer to the hairy elephant.

And regarding pluralization, what is the plural of a maple leaf?

Words ending in "ths" are awkward to say. Makes sense for it to be singular.

Looks like that town (Price) where the discovery was made, sits between the snowy mountain area up by SLC, Park City, etc. and the more southern desert canyon area by Zion, Moab, etc. That would be cool for different branding options.

Surprised Raptors were not an option since the Utah Raptor was also found there. So Mammoth but not Raptors. Zoophobic!

If it's legit, maybe that's the shade of blue they stick with for the "real" jerseys?

 

[sparkychewbarky]

Wa-a-a-y back in 2014, I did up a concept for a buddy's beer league team in sync with the 50th anniversary of the spaghetti westerns featuring Clint Eastwood.
Now, the logos/sweaters aren't NHL worthy, but I loved the name.
A "wild west" theme wouldn't be too bad for a Utah hockey team, and I think I'd prefer "Drifters" over the "Outlaws"...Also, I hear there's a new "Drift Board" for the slopes that's apparently only made in Utah, so maybe also a skiing reference.
...a moot point now, as "Drifters" isn't on the list...

If this is legit, I actually wouldn’t mind abandoning the purple and doing a powder blue, white, and black color scheme. I think the moment you start adding purple to the shade of blue, we start to look like a pop tart.

Also screams Yeti to me. I can’t see if being the Swarm or Mammoth. Even though I want Mammoth bad

Toronto Raptors are an NBA team.

Colorado mammoth is an NLL (lacrosse) team so that would also likely have similar issues, even if it's less of a brand.
