Team name and jersey ideas

[Mosby]

I’m thinking it’s 60% likely to be Yeti, 30% likely
to be Outlaws and 10% Mammoth.

I am cool with any of these three.

I’m just ticked they’ve stalled so much.

Agreed. This has been failure to launch. I'd be curious how it is going locally. Is there any discussion or momentum?

The only mention in the SLC paper is an article over the arena district. Maybe that is Smith's focus right now.

There seemed to be tremendous momentum at the delta center when the team visited. And they’ve done as little as humanly possible since.

Utah Mammoth or bust. I just sent my resume to Ryan Smith as Director of Creative Process so you guys are gonna have to deal with it.

2 color jersey to keep it simple but beautiful. Royal purple as the primary, white as the secondary and a cream alternative color for the gloves and font for the home jerseys. My work is done.

You got it Rabbit! You are going to have to move.

I'm seeing YETI - Built for the Wild commercials tonight (insulated drinkware).

The marketing possibilities for Utah Yeti are interesting.

The first round window closed yesterday. Hopefully the next open soons. Gotta get moving on this thing.

Likely comes out late Monday or Tuesday ..I think it was Tuesday last time

If it was me, I use the draft podium to show off not only the 1st Utah hockey team draft pick, but also the team name and jersey! Think of the media coverage and merch push. Big.

They 100% should’ve done this. This was an unforced error.

I just wanna buy a friggin hat.

 

[Kai Yo T]

I just wanna know if I like or hate the choices they make.

I don’t mind it, but am not into black and gold..

I am at the point of, just pick Yeti and start working on the logo and Jersey..

I did like that the Penguins did a rebrand mid season, so we likely have New Jerseys halfway through.. I wonder if the plain jersey that is used at the start of the season becomes a collectors item down the road?

 

[Mangosteen]

Can you imagine a Keller game worn one. Sweet

 

[Crede777]

When I think of Utah, I think of the national parks and landscape.

Along that theme - What about Utah Majesty?

Team colors could be purple (purple mountains majesty) and a secondary color (perhaps powder blue)?

Edit: This is what MidJourney gave me:

There is also focus on the practice facility property.

Swarm is growing on me as well, but Yeti has to be the name to beat at this point.

The video absolutely proved why Glaciers is a horrible name for a team, though.

That all being said, this process still seems like it's being way too drawn out to me.

Yeti & Outlaws are the clear favorites on every poll I’ve seen since the beginning. I’ve seen several local Utah polls with over 6,000 votes. And the one Wyshynski/ESPN did. Same result. Yeti over Outlaws by a smaller margin and then either Mammoth or Blizzard in a distant 3rd. That seems to happen over and over. I can’t believe Qualtrics will find anything different.

If they seed then brackets 1v8, 2v7, 3v6 & 4v5 then I promise the final four will be Yeti, Outlaws, Mammoth and Blizzard.

I wish they’d quit farting around and get this done. It really very likely just comes down to Yeti v Outlaws.

Does this change anything?

Mammoth is by far and away my favorite from the list. Not a huge fan of Yeti but I suppose I have no choice. May grow on me eventually

I think it actually does tbh

Yeti is an SEO nightmare and you won't even be guaranteed of the first result for "Yeti NHL"

 

[paulmm3]

I thought there was going to be a second round of voting after the first round concluded on May 22? Still pulling for Mountaineers or Outlaws

To be fair there's also Stanley Drinkware which gets confused for The Stanley Cup.

Thermos companies are attacking the NHL on all sides!

One day Thermos companies will rule the world.

Could this NHL/YETI Coolers partnership be part of the reason for the delay? They can’t just pretend Yeti wasn’t in the top eight.
