Outlaws and HC are the only non-corny sounding ones. The rest all sound like semi-pro arena football team names. So many non-plurals lol the owner or people he listens to must think the non-plural thing is so cool and unique and hip. Hint: it isn’t

They DID say they were going to parallel Jazz colors.
So in this case, the powder blue tone.

If they do power blue and black as it appears that temp logo (assuming it’s real) shows, they could just steal the old Winnipeg Ice logo if they go with “Yeti” 
That said, I think powder blue and black is a solid color combo that could make for a look that we don’t currently have in the NHL (outside the Pens retro powder blue?)…and it ties into the Jazz without being direct copy so it seems realistic.

Everybody…THIS IS TEMPORARY.
Even temporarily it's a joke.
At least find a name for the team if you can't figure out a logo for some reason.

It’s amateur hour all around like an ECHL/EANHL franchise mode team. At least Vegas was deliberate and knew what they wanted. 99.99% of the hockey community would kill to be a billionaire franchise owner and their branding would be the first thing they decide on overnightIf they do power blue and black as it appears that temp logo (assuming it’s real) shows, they could just steal the old Winnipeg Ice logo if they go with “Yeti”

And the selections are just pure Utah. Bland and pandering
Take some mushrooms and go to Moab. Figure it out

So you want them to have a temporary name & a temporary fleshed out logo, just to do it all over again in a year? That wouldn't make sense with how trademarks and branding work. This stuff takes time doesn't it? Utah HC is fine for a year. "Hockey Club" has always been in the sport's lexicon so just lol @ anyone making the soccer comments.
Anyway, still think the Utah Raptors is a huge missed opportunity. Yeti and Mammoth are so wack.

Lol. Let’s get in a tizzy over a temporary logo for a franchise trying to actually take their time to get their branding right for the long term.
Pure internet outrage at its finest.

I agree. It’s better to go with a place holder since they’re in a time crunch to get operations started up and icing a team in 4 months. It’d be an ill advised move to rush into a brand/name that most certainly everyone will not like anyway.
Basically like how the Redskins just went by Washington Football Club until they found their new identity. Or the teams of the PWHL just going by their city’s name for the time being until they come up with proper names. Trust the process.
Utah HC was always going to be it for 2024-2025 season.

I wish they would have named the Wild "MN HC".
THen at least we could have integrated our birthright "N" into our sweaters and paraphernalia.
Actually our Reds were modeled after an old MN pro club named "St. Paul Athletic Club" sweaters

We have enough video evidence to confirm Yeti's exist though. Can't say the same thing about Mammoths.
Look at the big brains on marketing here gentlemen...

I'm sorry but Outlaws and Venom are as corny as it gets.Outlaws and HC are the only non-corny sounding ones. The rest all sound like semi-pro arena football team names.

How is Outlaws any different than Raiders, Warriors, Cowboys, Bandits, Buccaneers, Golden Knights, Braves, Pirates, Rangers, Patriots, Vikings, Guardians (
), Commanders (), Senators?Outlaws were an actual historical figure/archtype of the American Frontier/Old West, of which Utah was a major part. The name actually has some historical significance, unlike many of the other franchises I named above.

You've got a point but I personally don't like most of these other names either lol.How is Outlaws any different than Raiders, Warriors, Cowboys, Bandits, Buccaneers, Golden Knights, Braves, Pirates, Rangers, Patriots, Vikings, Guardians (

I think these names are the kind of names that the average kid designing their own team with crayons would come up with, hence why they're corny. I find Outlaws to be lame and childish but I have to admit that the historical significance could help it grow on me if that was the chosen name.
