Utah Honey Badgers
UTAH RUSTLERS
That Stinger uniform concept with the mountain peaks & beehive on the sleeves SCREAMED Utah and I loved it! It really represented Utah well. Otherwise, I'm down with the Yeti. Non plural sounds more intimidating for some reason.
Bighorns, or Swarm.
why is everyone so obsessed with the name being something specific to utah?? like who gives a shit? there are no lions in detroit but that is a great name anyway
Congrats on the 1k. I really like talking uniforms so you have a new sub. Coordinating with the Jazz should be their focus. Definitely gives the city a brand right away also. Pittsburgh is one of only a few cities that have it and while I visited that area quite often for work and it was Black and Yellow everywhere. Cut throats would be sick, but with the way the world is people would take offence. Yeti ( should it be plural? I kinda like no S) is really gaining traction like you said. And so many logo possibilities not only for the primary but a third jersey, outdoor game jersey.
Utah Yeti
Utah Blizzard with mascot Yeti blue and purple
I would make a contest. Guess the score of the first exhibition game. Winners are placed in a box and a draw is held. Winning contestant provides team colors primary and secondary as well as the team name. Winner gets season tickets for life.
The Mormons, obviously.
Utah Gold….l like green n gold colors.
Utah Puzzle
I definitely vote for Utah Raptors. Makes perfect sense to me, the Utahraptor is the largest known raptor and state fossil. Intimidating and meaningful.
Slot Canyons
They have one of the coolest logos so they should just keep it and re work the color scheme imo
Golden Eagles – Too similar to Golden Knights and Marquette will complain.
Blizzard – Good point, I didn't think about the Avalanche
Loons – Fits better for Canada since that's their currency
Bees or Stingers – Too close to Stinkers, and Columbus Blue Jackets may push back since Stinger is their mascot
Utah Raptors – I guess…but Toronto will get mad
Cuthroats or Gila Monsters – They won't pick a name that's too hard to spell or not intuitive to say ("Hee-la vs. Gee-la monsters)
Names I like
Utah Pioneers – though you do have University of Denver closer and that's their mascot
Utah Yetis – It's unique and fun and tough, though it is plural or not? I'd make it plural since people will call it the Yetis regardless
Utah Elks – The CFL team only recently changed its name from Eskimos to Elks and it rolls well, same deal for the plural
Utah Black Diamonds – I didn't think of this one, but it's genius but it is probably too similar to Blackhawks
Utah Arches – I didn't think of this one but it makes sense, not really sure what you'd make the mascot here, Archie the…Yeti? Moose?
SLC Serpents – Also another good sounding name. Venom is good too but sounds too much like a minor league franchise name. Also, knowing that kids follow hockey now too, I don't think you'd have a ravenous or scary mascot as your primarily logo
Gelatins – Moreso for Jello Salad but it doesn't make a great mascot names
Utah Mastodons
If they are stupid enough to not use the name "The Salt Lake City SHAKERS" , the very next professional sports team WILL!.
Even the Salt Lake Shakers with or without the word "City" Come On, this is a once in a lifetime moment for Salt Shakers or You are going to be SHOOK up if you try to mess with Salt Lake City!!!!!!
Ryan if you happen to see this, please don't miss the opportunity to make a killing will the name The Salt Lake City Shakers, or The Salt Lake Shakers . The merchandise could be phenomenal If you try to mess with Salt Lake City, prepare to be SHOOK UP. Or , SALT Shakers. The only logo has to be Baseball style print. You don't want to put all the integrity on a picture of a Salt Shaker . But the whole package is ripe for the taking
The reason I would go with stags because the elk is the national animal of utah
Utah Nighthawks.
The Stingers was the name of Salt Lake's AAA baseball team before they renamed/rebranded to the Salt Lake Bees. Ryan Smith may need to look into any trademark issues or at minimum discuss this with Gail Miller if they are serious about using this name.
You have to admit, it's all about what rolls off the tongue the best… and it's UTAH YETIS … I'm sorry I didn't like Seattle Kracken when I first heard it, then it really grew on me, and I love it. I believe that's what is happening with Utah Yetis … if you keep saying it, it just makes sense. It's a short word and rolls off the tongue so nicely. Utah Yetis.
Please God don't let it be Blizzard… we already have Avalanche
Utah Bald-Eagles … that way, they can have the golden eagles throw back uniforms but not have golden in the name.
Utah Saints
NO BEES
Cut throat is cool, but Outlaws is way cooler than fish.
Salt Lake City Scorpions. Black Gold & Red unis.
the stormin mormons, and the logo should be a doorbell with lightning bolts
if Utah is the beehive state, then bee colors should be used for the uniforms and an appropriate nickname would be Utah Buzz…please, anything but an American Indian moniker like Chiefs, Braves, etc.
This is how billionaires show off their diplomacy? Umm..it's your team rich boy. Red Wings did it for me as a Detroitian from 96-98. Indecisive Utahns are knocking on too many doors for answers these days.
I would like to bring a nickname from an old-school program "America's Funniest People". From the files of "Jack Ching Bada Bing" – The Jackelopes". FASTEST I CAN BE. YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME!!
Utah Diamondbacks would be awesome!
