The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
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.
 
It sounds like from Friedman if they go with Utah HC they are going to use a yeti as their logo and just rely on the fans to call them the yeti without actually trademarking it
 
- there is no other elephant adjacent mascot in American sports save for Alabama Crimson Tide

A's too, actually.

But agreed that it's unique enough to do a lot with, whereas the Tide and the A's use it secondarily and in a much more limited fashion.

Of all pro teams that have relocated through the years, that is the name that really should have been changed lol

I thought that’s what they would do if calling them the Wasatch.
I could see them doing this

My opinion is that's even a bigger :facepalm:
 
Outlaws for the win!!

Guns in the logo would be great, or just have a guy with a bandanna over his face in some fashion as the logo. Or on a horse with a bandanna. Don’t actually need guns.

How Utah Hockey Club is even a finalist is beyond me. Why a team would keep a generic name is odd. Then again I said that about Washington Football Team until they changed their name to Commanders, for which I wished they kept the generic name.

Outlaws seems to be the most palatable of the remaining ones.
 
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I stand by mine that most North American club names are dumb. Nicknames are fine. But nicknames usually have a genesis from something pertinent. The majority of names in the league are just forced marketing ploys.

Are you sure you just don't know the lore behind the majority of names?

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.
