All 3 are weak and generic. No creativity on any of them. Are we sure these aren't placeholders?

I think we're sure that they are placeholders.

Not usually a fan of jagged lines on the bottom and sleeves but looks good to me. I wouldn't complain.

Surprised by the Outlaw love, it's the most generic, overused, po dunk name out there and the commonality of the logo is further proof. I actually like the idea behind the Yeti logo ( Wild like, or not), but the end result is a borderline disaster, due to the "color stupidity". Hockey club name however shouldn't even be an option imo. That leaves us with Mammoth, which I sorta, / kinda like, it's a beast native to the area, but the logo's just okay, at best. Wasatch was the way to go, given the dismal choices proposed and what seems to be the teams penchant for what I'll call odd logos. Just put the moutain range on for the crest, a Utah shoulder patch and move on, leave the Yeti the hell out of it.

Mammoth is the name I want. Ever since Black Diamonds fell out of contention, this has been my number one.

I have yet to see a decent Mammoth logo though. I think it can be done. Hopefully it's quite different from the "angry cartoon elephant" that we've seen over and over.

thing about Mammoth is it has a ready-made slogan to go with the 'XXX Up' that's been so popular lately (Horns Up, Forks Up, Lopes Up, etc.)... namely Tusks Up! ... the hand gesture itself is TBD... although a quick google search shows Amherst College in Mass, and for some reason Cal State Fullerton (Titans) also use tusks up...

I think the outlaw logo being so generic is explained by them adding it at the very last minute. The real question is what the Wasatch logo would've looked like and my theory is it would've been the same as the hockey club logo

And since I don't want to be one of those guys who complains without offering suggestions - what I think would make a good logo is a profile-view silhouette of a full mammoth body. The proportions should be realistic to avoid the cartoon feel. The head and trunk and tusks should be up, as if it's calling out. When the trunk is curled down it gives off vibes of an embarrassed dog tail. Maybe a ridge line of mountain peaks could be set behind the silhouette. I'm suggesting silhouette so that we can get an impression of realistic detail, like shaggy hair, without actually cramming too much detail in. I like logos that are set in a circle, like Doubleday & Cartwright often do with their designs (see Inter Miami or Milwaukee Bucks).
