Team name poll

[apocalypse]

The name should be the Utah Mormons. Mormons are a huge part of America as they came west and settled. They have gone through a lot of tribulation and are tough as nails. What better way to recognize them than to have a hockey team named after them. They are Americana. SLC is their territory and this team would really galvanize the religion in Utah. I think that's a sick name and should really be considered. It's a big part of our history as Americans. Do it!

If Mormons doesn't work, try The Latter Day Saints. We have to honor this aspect of our history. I'm not even Mormon.

Can’t tell if you’re being serious, but… absolutely not. They already have a massive chokehold on this state, we don’t need to give them something else. Very good people for sure, but the amount of extra hate it would bring the Mormon people is ridiculous. Let’s steer clear of religious themes, please.

If it's Stormin' Mormons I'm in.

Mine too but I prefer Outlaws. There's some cool logos attached to that name. I thought I was in the minority until I saw this poll. Pretty sure they've decided on Yeti though.

 

[Llewzaher]

Shouldn’t there be another round of voting soon?

I wonder what the hold up is

You need two hockey sticks and the Yeti should have his shoulders pointing straight down slope.

Snowboarding isn't allowed at some of Utah's top ski resorts

I prefer the Utah 'Yotes
But could tolerate the Utah Yokels

I have grown fond of “Utah Hockey Team”. Sounds European to me, akin to Club Barcelona or Tottenham.

I like it too, maybe even prefer it. As an European, I'm probably more used to names like that. American team names often sound kind of childish to me.

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Utah hockey team is classy.

 

[Power Surge]

Bolts fan coming to say hi. Blizzard and Ice are my favorite possible names.

 

[EXTRAS]

All of these seem a bit goofy

Would’ve preferred the Hounds.

Would’ve preferred the Hounds.

It’s a cool name, but is there any particular reason that would fit for Utah?

Regional ties make up about 5% of consideration to me when thinking about possible team names.

Well, I mean, what the heck does yeti have to do with Utah anyway? Lol.

Yeti sounds like something you'd name a car coming out of Bulgaria or something.

 

[VaCaps Fan]

The branding for this year is great for a “placeholder” name.

I think you mean Yugoslavia, not Bulgaria!

 

[Arizonatah Coyetis]

I think you mean Yugoslavia, not Bulgaria!

Or Verplanck, NY.

But that's a whole other story...
