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

To me the HC logo looks like a Yeti logo. So maybe the HC is just a placeholder and there could still be some recourse that brings Yeti back into consideration.

I do think the Mammoth logo is neat, although I wonder if the Pattent Office with see a conflict with Wolfgang Van Halen's band Mammoth VH. Or the Outlaws with the Outlaws MC?

Problem with the Mammoth logo is the they are going to get the nickname The Snuffaluffagus....

Maybe they go with the Mountain/Yeti logo and add the Utah Squatch as an option. Could have a pretty good mascot with that.

Mammoth logo should have hockey stick shaped tusks.

Hopefully if they chose mammoth they change the logo a bit. It would be a cool to have the trunk grabbing onto a hockey stick, similar to what the Penguins and Sharks do

No. The players are holding hockey sticks and skating on a sheet of ice. We know they're playing hockey. Having an animal hold a hockey stick (or puck) in the logo is flat out tacky unless it's a full on cartoon like the Pens (where it goes so far past tacky that it gets to silly).

I actually really like that Mammoth logo. Strong, distinctive silhouette, classy and will age well. Adding a hockey stick would diminish it.

So like the Lightning years back, someone just Googled the name and found generic clip art logo to use.

Impressive.

At least these generic logos actually have some depth and detail unlike the Bolts.

Naming by committee/mismanaged public opinion polls = who cares + hopefully they lose forever.
