Scrap the voted-on list, throw it in the trash, where it belongs. Utah Rogues. Do it!

 

[jetsforever]

So many words are trademarked now. Team names are eventually going to have to look like my Gmail burner addresses to pass muster.

the Utah y3T!s

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Everybody with a sigh of relief on this news

 

[Canucks LB]

honestly Utah HC is growing on me

This logo but it will be called "Utah Outlaws". Rogues sounds like a WNBA team.

I hate it even more than when I first heard it. It's about as original as calling your hockey team "Columbus Crew", in other words, it's just copying another sport. And not adding anything useful.

 

[TheOrganist]

At least they’re moving to the nickname realm. Utah Hockey Club is the dumbest thing ever.

 

[FrozenJagrt]

Let me guess, you’re not a big basketball fan?

Do you wanna talk about the New York Jets and Texas Rangers? Probably not, right?

Stupid argument that falls flat immediately.

 

[JadedRandom]

Utah Condors would be a pretty good name for them I think.

The animal (California Condor) lives in Utah, they could get it to fit the team's color schemes, and it doesn't even sound that bad.

 

[StickShift]

Rocky Mountain Extreme is still available.

 

[Roman Maroni]

The Moguls…..locomotive used in Utah in the late 1800’s

Would be a nice logo

You'd think Outlaws would be more trademarked than Yetis. But it passed the test. I don't think that's the end of Yetis, the Golden Knights was also denied by the U.S Patent office. Maybe a briefcase of money can settle the dispute.

Who confuses a hockey team with a cooler brand... Seems crazy to me, also a bit weird for a Tibetan word to be owned by a cooler company such that another brand cant use it.

I don't believe Yeti is actually a Tibetan word. IIRC their word for that creature would be Migo, which would mean man-head.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I still contend that if we wiped our memories, we'd think >50% of current team names are dumb if they came up for an expansion team today.

If they named themselves the Utah Cold, everybody here would go ballistic, but absolutely nobody bats an eye at the Miami Heat. Utah Blizzard(s) would be called a WNHL name, when it's no different than the Hurricanes or Lightning.

Yeti would be fine. Outlaws would be fine. Pretty much anything would end up fine.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Utah Blizzard and Utah Venom: Both of these trademark applications were also refused due to a "likelihood of confusion" — with the trademark office pointing out many of the same issues the team has with trademarking the Yetis.

Now i’m mad

 

[To Be Determined]

Yeah them and the Pirates never made much sense either.

Yinzers love that allegheny alliteration

Its Tibetan, double checked just now.

 

[End on a Hinote]

Utah to be kidding me!

I actually addressed those examples earlier ITT. Check it out, you might learn something!

 

[Gregor Samsa]

They should just scrap the team name and stick with “Utah”. Would that even be allowed? Would the state sue?

 

[FMichael]

The mascot can be Mayor Bee.

Anything bee related would be nice.

 

[Xerloris]

They should use the Jazz name and the same color scheme.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

They should use the Jazz name and the same color scheme.

Maybe switch it up with a different music genre? Utah Dubstep has a nice ring to it

Utah to be kidding me!

booooooooo

 

[Realgud]

Utah Cringe is still the best name anyway

 

[CascadiaPuck]

What happened to just choosing a bird or some other local animal and calling it a day? Why does every new team name have to be singular?

Utah Toucans!

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Just buy the Grizzlies name and logo from the minor league team and be done with it.
