[Summer Rose]

Of the three remaining now, which do you prefer? I've liked Outlaws since the beginning, so that's my choice.

Outlaws feels like more of a beer league team than a pro team.

 

[Mangosteen]

Outlaws is the best of what remains

 

[Baby Doaner]

All stupid names. Oh well.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Utah Jeti...pronounced "Ye tee"

 

[McBeastMode]

Utah Jeti...pronounced "Ye tee"

 

[sparkychewbarky]

"Outlaws" with a yeti twist...

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

I wish they'd go back to the drawing board and come up with a better name, but with the current group, it's 99% chance it's Mammoth

 

[Jakey53]

Outlaws feels like more of a beer league team than a pro team.

And the Mammoth doesn't? What about the Kraken? All stupid names. The team is playing like they are in a beer league.

 

[SjMilhouse]

Here you go, this is what they have when you vote. Can confirm this is legit since I've seen them in person.

Mammoth looks like the best to me.

Outlaws logo seems really bland and generic. The HC Yeti logo just feels like they're doing a less creative aping of the Wild logo.

Outlaws logo is so generic I swear I've seen it before.

Edit: Yep. Just Google "outlaw logo" and there's dozens of cowboy heads with bandanas covering their face. Looks like they just picked one of those out.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

well, I hope they clean up all of them some more...all of them need more color

is it just me or do all of these seem greyscale

 

[Mangosteen]

Still Outlaws is the best. Was hopeful for something special

 

[Baby Doaner]

None of the above would be my answer.

 

[Arizonatah Coyetis]

If they stay with UHC and use a logo like that one I won't have to change my screen name lol

No chance UHC wins though.

 

[TheLegend]

They hid a wookie into the HC logo.... sneaky way to get Yeti into it.

I have a few bones to pick with whoever designed/approved those logos, but merely using the blue for minimal blocky accents and nothing more isn't doing any of those logos any favors. I'd have gone with a blue base with black as the primary accent so you can get more detail into it, but these sure look like they were designed to look good on an app...

Outlaws is a name I could tolerate, but that is the most generic create-a-team thrown together in the last possible second logo you'll ever see make it this far into a process like this. HC feels like a couple existing logos crammed together clunkily. Mammoth...that's fine, I guess. Not really going for more than the first thing that comes to mind when you think 'mammoth logo,' but that's not the worst sin a logo can commit.

Design by committee pretty much always results in something nobody is ultimately happy with. I think we're seeing that play out here. All of this looks like AI slop.

Sorry to be harsh as an outsider, but I know how much less fun it is rooting for a team whose look you can't stand, as a Penguins fan whose childhood aligned perfectly with the godawful robopigeon era of the 90s.
