Utah Hockey Club down to final 3 names: Hockey Club, Mammoth, and Outlaws (upd: Wasatch already nixed)

Are there wolverines in Utah? They are certainly badass creatures.
Utah Wolverines....
idk if that “sounds” good, though.

Wasatch Wolverines

alliteration is key

 

[VaporTrail]

Well pretty much whatever they call them now will be a failure lol...way to go Utah lol

Hockey Club.

It's a shitty name if the whole league is named "Hockey Club", but if you're the first ones to do it, yeah. Do it.

This would be ideal, but I come from a place and time where everyone makes the wrong choices but can talk a good game.

It doesn't matter, until it does.

Yeti was dumb name but still ticked the courts blocked it and also let Stanley Cup be used by a product (utterly bizarre - I'm going to start putting out a line of Lombardi Cooler Bags and make a fortune).

The courts didn’t block anything.

The US Patent & Trademark Office rejected Utah HC’s application to trademark the use of the word “Yeti” in order to sell "clothing, namely, shirts, T-shirts, jerseys, sweatshirts, sweatpants, caps, hats, scarves, infant and toddler one-piece clothing, pajamas, bandanas, underwear, gloves, socks, shorts, suspenders, swim trunks, coats, jackets, robes, pants, leggings, sweaters, ear muffs, cloth bibs, belts, warm-up suits, headbands and wristbands"

Since there’s already a company who trademarked the use of the wordmark “Yeti” for selling many of those same items, it shouldn’t really be a surprise that Utah HC’s application was denied.

and also let Stanley Cup be used by a product (utterly bizarre - I'm going to start putting out a line of Lombardi Cooler Bags and make a fortune)

William Stanley patented the original insulated “Stanley” drinking vessel in 1913, long before the hockey trophy was being used to sell merchandise

IMO Utah Outlaws sounds like a local branch of Outlaws MC or a CoD team of 15-year olds.
Just leave it as "Hockey Club" and move on. At least it's something unique.

Outlaws reminds me of the cringe ass UFC "trailer trash tough guy" branding they had in the 2000s-2010s. Too edgy for me.

If it’s Utah HC, I’m going to laugh my ass off

Sounds like an Allsvenskan (the "AHL" of Sweden) team name.

Wasatch? That snatch!

 

[Dirtyclapper]

Utah HC is so lame this isn't soccer. Either outlaws or mammoth are both good, I feel like the logos for either would be pretty badass

 

[Foots]

Mammoth ftw.

 

[wesott11]

first they start calling teams *CLUBS*, then they switch from logos to *CRESTS*, and then we have to burn it all down and start over.
