I wrote in Jill Stein because I don't like any of the options.

Why can't it be Utah Mammoths?

Doesn't it look and sound better with an S on the end? For this reason, I'm going with Outlaws.

 

[wedge]

I really like the Outlaws.

Hockey Club is pretty bad for this season, and would be embarrassing to be permanent.

Outlaws isn't too bad. But not great.

I like Mammoth best of the remaining three options.

Yeti would have been better. I don't get how they couldn't make it work.

Better still would have been Phoenix. Such a missed opportunity. Cool Arizona reference and a firebird could be the league-best logo.

I'll keep banging the drum here: of the options presented, Outlaws is far and away the best. Mammoths would be fine, Mammoth sucks (I have serious qualms about singular names for a collective entity, because it gets really awkward talking about an individual from the collective. Same problem exists with the Avalanche, Kraken, Wild, etc.)

Of the options that weren't, Utah Raptors would have been so, so much better.

Utah HC, f*** the haters.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Really feels like it's going to be Outlaws, the way they've shoe-horned that name back into the mix.

Lol I love how you etc.d the Lightning


Raptors would have been good
Singular Mammoth absolute sucks in comparison to Mammoths
Only thing I disagree with though i probably the most major one. I find Outlaws a boring and uninspired name, but not in a faux-traditional "Utah Hockey Club" way, even. It just feels like a default 'Create a Team Mode' option.

They've spent over a year trying to come up with a name and this is what it's down to ? Lol
