Team name poll, part 2

[DethOfDragnz]

Gotta say...I really like the Snowbeasts name.

I also agree Snowbeasts would be a great name.

 

[Dale Gribble]

Random thought...

I have been wondering why Smith and Co., along with the fans for that matter haven't brought up Utah Sasquatch as a name ?

Admittedly, I always thought Seattle should have gone with Sasquatch, but if Smith & fans wanted a Yeti and the logo that comes with it, why not just go with the North American Mythological Creature instead of it's Himalayan Cousin ?

 

[lanky]

That's a fair question. I think the answer is simply the way it rolls off the tongue.

Also, not just mythological.

If they stay with UHC and use a logo like that one I won't have to change my screen name lol

No chance UHC wins though.

hope so, Mammoth would be my vote.

 

[Llewzaher]

American Primeval makes the outlaw name not so far fetched

I think with the US and Canada booing each others national anthems we should call them the Utah Americans

But Snowbeasts would still be my favourite as you can incorporate the Yeti without interference of the branding

 

[FMichael]

All stupid names. Oh well.

Outsider lurking here…

Has anything ‘Bee’ related ever been considered since Utah is the ‘Beehive’ State?

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Outlaws is the best of what remains

I've mentioned a few over time but now I'm throwing another into the ring...how about Utah Unicorns...like the Yeti an imaginary creature

I like where you're going but the colour scheme probably isn't apppealing to Smith and co...

 

[Summer Rose]

Hmmm...

 

[lanky]

I expect that it'll be officially shared at the draft, though leaks will start to spout soon.

Would be cool if the Mammoth's first pick was of the Mrtka / McQueen type of stature.

 

[TheLegend]

Hmmm...

Gotta ramp up the new jersey/merch designs first.

 

[lanky]

Not much mystery left around the name.



I'm excited to see the jersey though.
As I've said before, I hope the logo is far from cartoonish, even if the cartoon looks aggressive, it would come across as childish.

Edit: woops, looks like Cole's reporting was a bit incomplete.

[Llewzaher]

This logos are all amateur hour

I still like Snowbeast

I hope it doesn’t remain UHC but pretty sure it will

I'm gonna go with Mammoth, I'd like the name "Outlaws" to be saved for when we get a team back in Arizona. #ArizonaOutlaws

I'm starting to warm up to the "Mammoth" name but it does bother me slightly that it's not the plural form. I have mixed feelings on what the team name could be in the likely case that Arizona gets another team. On one hand I have a lot of nostalgia for the Coyotes name, but on the other hand I recognize that the Coyotes brand is tarnished and maybe even cursed (if you believe in that sort of thing). "Arizona Outlaws" sounds pretty cool.

I'm not even sure if I'd follow another team in Arizona though, since I don't live there anymore. I could see myself just kind of following them a bit with some interest, but not necessarily caring about them a great deal. It would be very, very weird.

Mammoth's nick would be "'moth" then, right? Let's choose "The Moths" then, and we'd be even little closer to the "Bees"

Who cares.

Phoenix Firebirds

Been done. They were the farm team for the SF Giants back in the day.

(thats kinda what I'm still feeling right now, with Utah... i mean, if they win games and make the playoffs in the next month, hooray, but...it wont be like 2010, or 1997, or any of those other years)
