not that i've decided if i care or not, but here's the problem i'd have with Yeti if i lived in SLC:

...or...

"it was someone else's logo for 20 years, the other major metro area known for mountain snow"

Colorado has a National Lacrosse team named Colorado Mammoth. There goes that idea.

The Avalanche's first mascot was a Yeti named Howler. Arizona ended up using the name Howler for their mascot and now Utah seems to be going with Yeti. Strange that this team has a history of using Colorado's ideas

I think it's also kind of weird that they have the name Avalanche, a secondary logo of a Yeti foot, and they changed to a dog for their mascot. Seems hodgepodge.

Because they probably figured out no way to make the Bigfoot mascot look good - easier to do a dog

That Yeti really was fugly

 

[Mosby]

Colorado hasn't used that mascot since 2001 and hasn't used the foot patch since 2015. Yeti is free game.

Sounds like Yeti is all but confirmed now.

Not my team, but was hoping for Mammoth.

Will have taken that Yeti 9 years to walk from...oh... Summit County, to the Wasatch Front...a lot longer than the Mormon Pioneers

This was confusing before I learned that there is a Summit County in CO, too.

In any case, the Utah Yeti would more likely have descended from ancestors that crossed the Bering Land Bridge. After all, a Yeti isn't a Sasquatch, according to US News.

I think they’ve always wanted Yeti and I think it’s the favorite of the people by a large margin, also. It all comes down to whether they can figure out the legal stuff or if they have to pivot. Assuming to mammoth as the fall back, as they’ve gone all-in with the snow theme and powder blue doesn’t really say “outlaws” or “venom” to anyone, while “blizzard” just sucks.

I’m guessing if it can’t be Yeti, it’ll be Mammoth or maybe they just stick with HC?

Can they get the licensing for Mammoth when there's a National Lacrosse League team named Colorado Mammoth?

 

[John Mandalorian]

They’ve allowed this to drag out too long. For that, they will forever be Hockey Club.

Is that much more of an issue than like a beer league team or a local high school team?

Not sure. I was surprised Vegas had to come up with a co-existrnce agreement with an Army Parachute Team called Golden Knights. Seems like it would be easy to differentiate the two entities there too.

Utah Bison

After the cool bison that chill on antelope island.

 

[Rograf]

I didn't like Grizzlies, but I liked the Utah Griz. Most ferocious animal - King of the mountains. Lots of great logos/merchandizing, too. Don't mind caribou but seems a bit soft. Yetis is awful. Outlaws is okay.

 

[Chel Guy]

I think Utah Yeti will be the name. Sounds better than Yetis

 

[57special]

I'm an outsider, but have to say I like the name you have now.

 

[DethOfDragnz]

I like Yetis and I made two uniforms, just for fun. I think purple or brown would be good as almost no NHL clubs use those colours.

 

[Prarievarg]

No way they change the name after the Hockey Club has gone undefeated the whole season and won the SC

 

[Heldig]

I prefer Utah HC to Utah Yeti.

 

[Prarievarg]

I prefer Utah HC to Utah Yeti.

Same! Actually like it more than most name ideas I've heard

 

[Erika]

Utah HC sounds the best ngl

Just pure and classic, euro style

 

[carjackmalone]

The Utah Marching Saints or just the Saints
