Utah Hockey Club trademark applications denied in search for permanent name (mod warning post 48)

Hey, that’s a really f***ing stupid ruling. It’s also a terrible team name, but whatever. I think the judge just has imposter syndrome and projects in weird ways.

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

I've been going with Grizzlies in FHM and rebranding the ECHL team since the move was announced.

Grizzly Bears don't live in Utah either.

Close enough though, I don't mind that aspect. It's just a bit of a generic name.

I'd prefer Yeti, or my personal favorite, the Utah Outlaws, with Morricone's western theme music:

"You want to go to the Utah Yetis game tonight?"
-"How do you make a game out of a drink bottle?"
"You're right, maybe it's for a big game of spin the bottle. Now I'm confused"
- "I'm confused too"

 

[Mirka the Turka]

They should be the Utah White Yetis

 

[overlords]

They'll always be the Utah Buttes to me

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

I wish nothing but more continued failure for them

 

[muddywaters]

Utah Bighorns .. Utah Red Rocks .. Utah Dinos .. Utah Hogheads

The Utah Trademark Thieves

 

[Aaaarrgghh]

I will never get over the fact that copperheads aren't native to Utah. Utah Copperheads would have been great, given the mining industry.

Nevertheless, this seems like a stupid ruling but I can't say I'm unhappy about it. Yeti and many of the proposed names were terrible. Outlaws was one of the few that at least was okay, in my opinion.

For my money, just call them the Utah Raptors. Who cares about basketball? But I'm sure that would run into exactly the same issue as Utah Yeti. Something bee-related like Hive would be okay too.

Thank god, that name would be so dumb.

Bring on the BLIZZARD!!!

They can’t. Patent office denied it due to a high likelihood of confusion with the the Blizzard desserts from Dairy Queen.
