The Utah Latter Day Saints.

Raptors are birds of prey and small dinosaurs but the Raptor that is from Jurassic Park never existed. An actual velociraptor was the size of a turkey. Toronto’s mascot is from the movie

The Toronto Deinonychus’ didn’t have the same ring too it.

 

[Quinning]

I always get coolers and sports teams mixed up too

Lmao

Wat

I mean TECHNICALLY it’s true that dinosaurs are currently non-existent.

I was surprised to learn that Utah is or was the gayest city in America. I never would have guessed, I assumed it was and is San Fransico

I’m surprised to learn that Utah’s a city

Since there is already the Angels in baseball,,,,

The Utah Cherubs! Give the little guy a hockey stick and wait for Chris Hansen to show up!

 

[Marlowe Syn]

I'm not even sold on the name Yeti, but I think this is so stupid

Who's going to "confuse" a professional sports team with a cooler?

Nobody goes to a Denver Nuggets game and gets confused that it's not a McDonald's convention.
No one is struggling to differentiate the LA Galaxy from a Samsung Galaxy.

Hell, we have Jets-Jets, Rangers-Rangers, Kings-Kings, Panthers-Panthers, Giants-Giants, and Cardinals-Cardinals and we seem to get by fine




They cover completely different markets.

Yeah but to this day I still expect the Stanley Cup to be filled with mid quality hand tools.

What would a logo for the Utah Saints look like?

Utah Bighorns, avoids calling them the Rams, they just have to work up a cool logo that’s not too much like L.A’s.

I guess, but that's not the way I read his post and I don't believe I'm alone. I might be wrong as to his intent, but I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in interpreting his post the way i did.

He’d show up for the Nashville game

Dinosaurs are real AND currently exist.

However, birds aren't real. They're just government drones.
We've all been monitored since childhood. Sesame Street. Big Bird. Big Brother. Do your own research, people!!

Proof ?

Nope. You are right. He’s a Dino denier

As an IP attorney in the US, it's hilarious how many of you are commenting as if you have even the slightest grasp on trademark law or how the USPTO works. The YETI application was refused because the HC is seeking to register the mark for clothing and other merch-related items for which there are already registered YETI marks. It's not because the government thinks people would be confused between YETI being used for the provision of hockey exhibitions and YETI being used for coolers and insulated cups.

When the YETI name was first floated, there were several articles pointing out that it would be a difficult path to register the YETI mark because of the existing registrations, which the HC was aware of. The HC is free to try to negotiate consent or coexistence agreements with the owners of the existing YETI registrations (which I'm sure they have tried), but it appears those holders of the existing regs aren't willing to play ball (or puck). Trust me--both the NHL and the USPTO have very smart attorneys handling these matters.

I imagine this is why Vegas couldn't go with the Knights in Canada, since a hockey team (albeit a major junior one) has the rights for merch related items.

 

[Sniper99]

IMO marauders may be a cooler option

Love both Marauders or Outlaws, Get it done.

I know....how about the Utah Jazz.

Yeeea....that'll work

Very Creative, I like it.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Outlaws is best.

Rhymes, Utah was part of the "Wild West" in which outlaws were prominent, and it has zero corny level.

Checks all the boxes.

Not bad suggestions. Utah Saints might lean into their initials spelling “us” with a halo over their initials.

Bighorn is an interesting idea.

What kinds of bear prevalent in Utah?

You mean a movie modified the original source material in order to make the film more profitable and/or entertaining? I AM TOTALLY SHOCKED!

 

[BB79]

Proof ?

Gatorsaurus...it even has plates on it's back

 

[David Bruce Banner]

I support them through this process...

This isn't the MLS.
