Utah team name polling opens, list of potential names revealed

[SjMilhouse]

I just told you why it's on the flag. I don't need to look it up.

Cool...but it's literally known as the beehive state which has more context beyond a flag lmao

Also Gold Hexagons =/= Beehives
"A gold rim stands for prosperity, while the hexagon shape – among nature’s strongest shapes — cradles the beehive and represents unity and the strength of Utah’s people."

"The beehive represents Utah’s history and a sense of community, plus "Industry," our state’s slogan."

Almost like that history is what I was referencing

 

[CanadienShark]

Not a fan of any really. Maybe mammoth or outlaws.

it's known as the beehive state because the beehive represents working hard and prosperity, so it was adopted as symbol, and thus they put it on the flag.

How Utah became the Beehive State and where to buy cute products to celebrate it

Utah officially became the Beehive State in 1959. Here’s how it got there.

Utah Unnameds, these all f***in blow.

tldr. But, the beehive was a symbol of the state before 1959. Kudos on looking it up yourself though.

Kuznetsov's choice would be Utah Powder.

Came here to say this!!

“C” ain’t just for captain.

 

[Hrkac Circus]

Of these, I like Mammoth best.

I was thinking Bison, Wolves or Bighorns.

Definitely not HC. That’s MLS garbage.

Do they have Wolverines in Utah? You could use the yell from Red Dawn on the Jumbotron.

 

[DownIsTheNewUp]

I like Yeti, Mammoth, and Outlaws best, but they all have some down sides too.

Yeti not so sure about using a fake animal.

Mammoth doesn't roll off the tongue.

Outlaws just doesn't feel very hockey.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Frost??? Freeze?? Blast?? Ice???

Are we naming an NHL team or a f***ing energy drink??

 

[WhataKnight]

Blizzard!!

Although powder would be funny for cocaine jokes.

SLC. Your #1 stop for jazz & blow.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Yeti not so sure about using a fake animal

Kraken fans ....

Industry, prosperity, same thing. who cares. Keep dragging out something from a lackluster joke I made about beekeeping.

 

[TT1]

Utah Powder Montana

 

[Empoleon8771]

Utah Blizzard is a legitimately solid name IMO

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

Frost??? Freeze?? Blast?? Ice???

Frost, freeze, blast, ice,
That goal was f***in nice,
With these powers we unite,
Go.. Captain Planet Utah HCs?

 

[MMC]

I actually kinda like Utah Caribou

I’m surprised only one other person has said this because I do too

 

[Ezekial]

These are so so so bad

Thought the Golden Knights sucked but now i don't even think about it

 

[Realgud]

I'm shocked by how bad and corny these are. Utah Hive is the only one I'd support.

Stuff like "Outlaws" and "Venom" are names little Timmy would come up with while designing his first team with crayons. These can't be serious.

 

[Bowski]

Please no HC, that's a slippery slope where a bunch of other teams with crap names just HC themselves following soccer/football.
Dallas seems like the first-best candidate with their recent jersey changes.

 

[WhataKnight]

Thought the Golden Knights sucked but now i don't even think about it

It took six months for it to grow on me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[MNRube]

Outlaws 100% cannot work in Utah. It’s the least rebellious state in the U.S.

Yetis is the clear best for my money. Any animal name is safe too.

 

[TT1]

I’m surprised only one other person has said this because I do too

ya Caribou is pretty cool, it's original and sounds professional/hockeyish, my fav too

 

[Masked]

How will anyone choose between Frost, Freeze, Ice, and Blizzard?

Are they promoting a hockey team or a Dairy Queen?

 

[BertCorbeau]

Those are some name choices

My guess is the top 3 will be

Outlaws
Blizzard
Fury
