I voted for Outlaws and Mountaineers only in this round. A lot of the "Swarm", "Sting", "Fury" type names make us sound like a WNBA team and are just out of place in the NHL imo. Yeti similarly just feels weird and out of place in this league. I just want a normal name that doesn't stick out horribly for being weird on the list of NHL team names.

^ those are not good. Just concepts.
^ also bad. But a concept where there’s no cowboy and no cowboy hat.

Reminds me of the outlaws in one of my favorite movies...

In season according to this...
They can always change their minds and I really hope they do.

Maybe make the horns make a U and the barbed wire and O. Work the shape of the state of Utah into the negative space somehow.

I still want to know how playing in Mullett is embarrassing for the league, and makes the players feel like they’re “not in the NHL”
But somehow playing in Delta, with the folded up high school gymnasium bleachers, with a non branded generic team is not embarrassing.

Not bad for an interim jersey. I'd just replace the beehive on the shoulder with an outline of the state.

I like something simple like this if it's Outlaws. Doesn't needs to have a weapon or skulls or cards or something. Some subtle elements like mountains or trees or an outline of Utah in the negative space would be cool.
Thats pretty sweet
nice and simple

The people of Utah will be familiar with the iconography attached to the oldest university in the state. I'm betting SEG would avoid such similarities as a result.

I promise the NHL doesn’t care about semi-pro minor league teams, bowling teams, community college teams, or catfish noodling teams, your grandmas bridge team, or bull riding teams.
I’ve seen people earnestly suggest that a pickleball team could be a real obstacle here. I promise nobody cares.
If it’s one of the 20 on the initial official poll, it’s fine. They’re not worried about it. Which is probably why +15 of the names are terrible.

Sure, the NHL doesn't care. I just wonder if RS would avoid the appearance of aligning with what amounts to the niche fandom in Utah college sports.

I actually really like those colors. I wouldn't mind at all if they just slapped whatever logo they decide on onto that jersey and called it a day.

I agree. But Smith said he wants Jazz purple in there. Ironic since the Jazz don’t wear purple. But I think overall the white, ice blue, and black is great.

Yeah, that was the most disappointing part of seeing that mock up - knowing they can't be the final design/colors since there's no purple.

One change I’d make is black to dark grey. Like sky blue, ice white, and mountain grey. And just stick with three colors only. And id be just fine if they were called “Yeti” but there was no image of a Yeti at all. Just the Word Yeti and the logo is just mountains only.
