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

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.

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.
 
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.

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.
