The Utah Dutch van der Linde

Just started playing that again last night.

Anyways I hope they go with Mammoths.

Utah Outlaws would be perfect. Outlaws is the exact opposite thing I think of when it comes to Utah. But they also have the Utah Jazz. Utah is also the absolute last place I think of when it comes to Jazz music. So its fun to be ironic I guess.

Or the Lakers

Reminds me of the BASEketball movie...

Soon it was commonplace for entire teams to change cities in search of greater profits. The Minneapolis Lakers moved to Los Angeles where there are no lakes. The Oilers moved to Tennessee where there is no oil. The Jazz moved to Salt Lake City where they don't allow music. The Raiders moved from Oakland to LA back to Oakland, no-one seemed to notice.

Outlaws and mormons don't mix

Hmm, do you feel non-Mormons somehow 'mix' with the notion of 'Outlaws'?

I'm sure Mormoms are smart enough to realize that the hockey players playing for their local team are not in fact 'Outlaws' and will not be promoting lawless behavior.

The name is absolutely fine as long as you don't read too much into it (which you are doing)

I can't believe some people actually like the Mammoth.

We're big, hairy, slow and extinct, let's go team!

They may have been big n hairy, but I highly doubt they were slow.

Utah is considered part of the Wild West.

Utah Giant Robot Spiders

Just stick with Hockey Club, and do a proper rebrand with some awesome logo.

It's unique in the American sports scene.

Totally botched branding. No vision, no name, no clue. Bland, unorganized, timid. VGK and Seattle are like How hard can it be! Same old Yotes, er…
