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

[Arthur Morgan]

all their names are terrible. just relocate them to a city that can actually think of a good name.
I had to look up Wasatch (never heard this word in my life) shit even Utah Mountain Pass sounds better than Wasatch

and Mammoth seems like a bad idea, when they have a bad game u can say they took a Mammoth shit
or sucked a Mammoth you know what......

 

[Perfect_Drug]

It's clearly going to be Mammoth.

Common sales tactic:

You pitch the name you want (Mammoth).
Put it next to the absolute worst name (Wasatch). And then for context you put it next to the generic forgettable placeholder (HC).

Then when it gets proposed, everyone sees those 3 as the only choices, and chooses the only one that isn't f***ing stupid.

Out of these 3 terrible options, I'm hoping it's Mammoth just so they have a 'normal' team name. I had to look up what Wasatch was, and when I did, saw that was a terrible name for a team. Utah HC is awful, I don't want to see any of that soccer-style BS. It drives me crazy to see they are represented differently on box scores as it is, because they can't say for example 'Avalanche 2 Hockey Club 1', because it's dumb.

I really wanted Outlaws, but I fully expect they're going to pick Hockey Club...

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Not a Utah fan but I hate this new XFL trend of names. Please do Mammoth and be done with it.

 

[Nothingbutglass]

Utah Coyotes has a nice ring to it

 

[Nogatco Rd]

I think it's finally time to admit that nothing is going to sound good being said after "Utah"

Maybe they should be holding a contest to rename the state?

East Nevada
Colorado 2: Electric Boogaloo

Yo Dookie! Pick up the phone!

Wasssssssaaaaaaaatch!

Now this a guy gets it.....

The meme-fu is strong with this one folks......




Then again I like plain old Hockey Club just for the fact it drives 80% of HF posters out of their minds.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

HC is so stupid. Keep that shit in soccer just like their stupid diving. Mammoth it is then.

Bruh aren’t you a habs fan? What do you think the letters on their jersey stand for

Utah Mammoth is a great name.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Singular Mammoth makes no sense to me. Mammoths flows better. And I say that as someone that stood by the notion that the plural of Yeti is Yeti.

But if they go Mammoth(s), can we all agree that their shorthand monosyllabic nickname is the Moths?

But all in all, if you want a dead elephant, should've gone with Utah Mastodons.

Mammoth definitely the most XFL-sounding of the three, but alright.

Habitants Canadien?

 

[GindyDraws]

Am I crazy for liking Hockey Club the most?

Not really. They just need a real logo. The guy who runs Sportslogos suggested a yeti as part of it to get around the fact they weren't able to officially call the team the Yeti.

 

[Jee]

Wasatch is so funny, I want it to win.

I love the irony of the province I live in.

The province that wants to separate from Canada literally has a hockey team called: The Canadian Residents.

 

[BKarchitect]

I'm surprised the two logos haven't leaked yet. I'm assuming the fan votes were conducted in booths or stations where you couldn't take your phone?

We have some very detailed descriptions of the two logos online which I have posted on an earlier page - but has anybody seen the actual (ie - confirmed, not fan or AI generated) leaked logo options from the arena?

The “CH” on the jersey stands for Club de Hockey Canadien though, not habitants canadiens

Should change their name to Montreal Victoire.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

They are all awful but Mammoth > HC shit

Seriously f*** off with this nonsense first they tried it in NFL and now they want to try it in NHL

 

[Ugene Magic]

So salty....

 

[Diogenes92]

Im hoping for Mammoth. It was a top 2 choice for me when voting started. But id honestly prefer Wasatch over HC. "Hocky Club" is such a tacky and lazy approach and it would mess with the entire history of the NHL.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

Should change their name to Montreal Victoire.

I’m getting OT here but my favorite sweater ever might be the 1924 Habs edition celebrating their status as “world champions”

Wish they would bring that back.. maybe after the next cup…

 

[Space umpire]

It's gonna be HC isn't it lol

It will not be HC. They have sold 1000’s of HC jerseys and when they pick a real name the same fans will buy a new one.
It’s great marketing.
They should change their name every year. (Kidding)

 

[Heldig]

Mammoth was one of my votes early on. Still like it. Never liked Yeti.

We need folks to come up with some designs again.

 

[The Marquis]

Trademarks in this country are ridiculous. Brand confusion, give me a break, why should the food container industry have any say in what a sports team is named. Mammoth is fine as a name. Utah Hockey Club is dumb as hell. Wasatch is... brutally local, which is cool I guess. Super unique and I hope the people go for it just because it's so unique and local.
