No offense to the people that like the options, but I'm very disappointed that we've waited this long and these are the options we have.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

None of the above

 

[Ignatius]

Utah Direwolf

 

[Mulletman]

What happened to Utah Outlaws? Wasn't that supposed to be the clear favorite and pretty much a done deal?!

 

[MuckOG]

None of the above. Yeti would've been the best, IMO.

Honestly, I don't understand how these are the final choices. Out of those, Mammoth seems like the only choice. Have a hard time thinking they'd end up with Wasatch.....understand where it comes from, but doesn't really fit well with a team name.

Hockey Club......that one bothers me more than it should probably, but I totally don't get it. This isn't soccer. 19 of the 30 teams in the MLS are "Football Club".....pretty sure most in Europe are as well, or simply don't have team names, they are just all considered FC. Why introduce this into hockey in North America?

The correct answer, Utah Raptors, was never an option.

The next best answer was Utah Outlaws.

At this point, of the three poor options remaining, screw it, at least Wasatch is unique.
