Utah team nickname/colors/logo, mascot (and related marketing)

Yeti would be great. And considering I would identify as a hockey purist, I like cool names and colour. Love the Kraken, Golden Knights and now hopefully Yeti.

Please let it be outlaws. They could skate through big cowboy bar doors when they come on the ice and when they are announcing who scores/got assists they can play a whip crack after each name. So many cheesy ass ideas can be had with the outlaws that would piss off this entire board and bring me so much joy as a fan.

YEE-HAW, U-TAH chants...the possibilities are endless

I'm having a hard time imagining how Utah Yetis (wait, is it plural now?) could be confusing. I get that there is a brand Yeti, but it's not like any company can have an overarching claim to a mythological/zoological creature, especially in a different industry.

Yeti is a worse name than Kraken. So is Buzz. I know the team wants to stay away from religious themes, but not using Crusaders is a giant miss.

I suggested Crusaders but somebody mentioned that Utah people are Mormons and wouldn't like that so...Fighting Saints could have been cool but too Religious I guess and the NHL and hockey is trying to move entirely away from fighting so...Stingers would be cool since Utah is the BeeHive state but I don't that one either...HC was a horrible choice hopefully its just a placeholder for something much creative than that besides there is only one HC in Hockey and its the (24-25 Stanley Cups) Winning Montreal Canadiens

It should be Utes in reference to the Native Indian people of the region...oh wait the football team is called that

Let's find a home for Howler!

Before Bernie, there was Howler: The story behind the Colorado Avalanche's original mascot

Before Bernie entertained fans at Avs games, there was an abominable snowman named Howler.

I think the issue is merchandising. Yeah, it’s a different industry for the core business, but YETI puts out a ton of merch too.
