Sweet Jesus that's a terrible list of names.

Coyotes are very common in Utah. Just keep it the same.

Merulo owns the coyotes name/logo for the next five years atleast.


I'm guessing Smith also wants to go his own way, but yes all those names are amateur.

I'm more for teams changing their name.

Kills to see Grizzlies for Memphis. Hornets, took a few years but became Pelicans. Sonics became Thunder.

Smart for the Titans to rebrand from Oilers in NFL.

Nordiques to Avs, Whalers to Hurricanes, Jets to Coyotes, Thrashers to Jets. Stars very generic, and TX is the Lone Star state, so it works on that level. Flames, that was a long time ago that they opted to keep the name.

Just wonder if there is enough time to get all of the rebranding done and file trademarks and get them approved.

They don't have the rights. Meruelo keeps that.

They can't use Coyotes - in case Arizona gets another team in the future.

Brutal list of names

Per terms of the deal, that’s the one name they can’t use.

i have no idea how the f*** a team can take more than a week to think of a name and logo

was really funny seeing washington spend a couple of years not sure what to call their football team before giving them the most basic name possible

A quick search shows the the population of the SLC metro area (including suburbs like Provo and Ogden) is 2.7M people.

Which is remarkably similar in size to the Vancouver-Surrey metro area (2.6M people).

To put it bluntly, SLC is an affluent mostly-white city with a winter sports culture. It’s the NHL’s prime demographic minus the rich hockey-history.

I would imagine the franchise as another ‘Colorado Avalanche’. If they have success sooner than later they will be quickly endeared.

That's 2.7m figure is if you count every man, women and child in a 160 mile radius....that's like counting everybody from here to Seattle.

Not exactly a bunch of lakes in LA.

So many pro and amateur team names that you need to ensure you get the trademark.

Commanders, if they were going with just a W for the logo then virtually any name would have been fine.

That IP isn't included in the sale, it's being held on to for a future franchise back in Phoenix.

Salt Lake City missionaries would be hilarious

I hope oilers lose 20-0.

Venom actually sounds OK, I think.

I'm good with it as long as they don't have Topher Grace's Venom as the mascot.

Utah Carnage?

Either way, I think letting the team represent Utah is a good choice - Salt Lake City is kinda awkward to say, even the abbreviation of SLC sounds weird.

No that means makar gets more points than Quinn

I just hope they continue with the youth hockey programs down there.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Oilers weaknesses have always been goaltending and defence

 

[GranvilleIsland]

Is LA running 1-3-1 against the power house Blackhawks?

Chicago and Anaheim want it more.

 

[arttk]

Both the kings and Vegas don’t want to win it seems

 

[Ace of Hades]

They lose 20-1 with Makar getting no more points.

 

[arttk]

The way Oilers gives up the moment there is nothing to play for is amazing. Winner mentality eh

They're scared of facing Skinner or Pickard. Can't blame em look at the score tonight.
