(Is there a plural for a phoenix)

I don't believe there is. "Arizona Phoenix"

 

[Jauffre]

Just do Utah Raptors and call it a f***in day, almost everything else is too corny/edgy

If Arizona somehow gets an arena built and funding within the next 5 years then they should rename the Coyotes to that.
Arizona Phoenixes

Arizona Coyotes of Phoenix. Just like the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim were once...

Alex Meruelo must give his reactivation request by December 31, 2027. 50% of the arena must be completed by that time.

No more repeated team names among the big 4 (and include MSL) team names. So, eliminate Chiefs (KC), Coyotes (AZ keeping them), Eagles (PHI), Raptors (TOR), Braves (ATL), Wolves (MIN).

Utah's state flag includes a bee. So names around that make sense. Not Hornet (CHA). Quick google search shows Utah Stingers as a Volleyball team in some association. Swarm is some youth ultimate frisbee team. They can look into trademarks for both and then buy out the team name. Wasps, Bees, (though a team name of Utah Bees is so short), Yellow Jackets.

I have a feeling that Yeti, ala Kraken probably to take it.

Just hope they opt for a different color scheme than blue, red, black. Seen some mocks with purple for Yeti and yellow as base for "bee" themed.
