Well I want to get in early on this historic sub-forum so here's one thought: The Utah state reptile is the Gila monster so how about the Utah Monsters?

So much for Utah-tahs

Stingers might make sense in between Scorpions and being the beehive state.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Utah Bighorns

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

As an outsider I think Utah Bison would fit well

 

[Brodie]

I really think the league needs to step in and prevent a meme name like Yeti, even if people do think it's cool. Going to age like milk.

Plus I think it's SEO poison, there's thousands of existing results for University of Utah branded Yeti tumblrs

Utah is the Beehive state for its perseverance and industry. So, how about the Sting or Stingers?

SEO? What does SEO stand for?

First thing Chat GPT told me was ‘Utah Avalanche’

Don’t think that will work

 

[Chaos2k7]

Have they decided whether or not it will be Utah or SLC?

Friedman reported it would be Utah

personally still think the best name is the Salt Lake Stingers, though

Search Engine Optimization, essentially making sure people you want to find you find you easily without any potentially confusing results

The best example of a team with a horrible name for modern SEO is the Chicago Fire of MLS... attempting to just look them up results in many hits for the both the historical event and the TV series with the same name before you find the soccer team.

 

[hockey20000]

something to do with the mountains would be cool.

 

[jokesondee]

Utah Condors
Utah Bighorns
Utah Yellow Jackets
Utah Rattlers

 

[Admiral Swedge]

I'm not crazy about the Stingers name but I love the potential of the honey bee design.

 

[Brodie]

Utah Gulls could be cool, it is kind of tied up in very explicitly Mormon lore though

 

[Nizami Ganjavi]

Utah Powder
Salt Lake Lakers
Utah Blue Herons (the Wasatch Range is named after the native Ute term wassatsi which means Blue Heron)

 

[starman]

Utah Copperheads

The name of the team should be the Utah Buzz. It incorporates both the "Beehive State" nickname and the "zz" of the Utah Jazz. When/if they get MLB and NFL teams, they could use Grizzlies (Grizz) and Blizzard (Blizz). Kind of what New York did with the Mets, Jets, Nets, and even Sets (World Team Tennis).

Gotcha! Thanks for the education. I was guessing it was something like Senior Executive Officer or something like that. Your explanation makes a lot more sense.

Plus the California gull is the official state bird.

Roughriders - you'll get an immediate Canadian fanbase from Saskatchewan.
Sandstorm - I have a goal song already picked out for this one...

Something to do with the land speed records set on the salt flats? Speed is a little too tied to meth. Rockets? Jets - no wait...

 

[Terry Yake]

utah funk or utah techno

 

[jokesondee]

I think i like Bighorns the best so far. You could make a pretty cool logo with them.

Probably works better than New Zealand, add any word to white or black for men's sports teams and any word to ferns for woman's and you have reached the limit of this countries sports name creativity. All Black's rugby, All Whites soccer, Tall Black's basketball, Ice Black's hockey, Silver Ferns Netball.

The name of our badminton team... the black cocks.

I think all this countries creativity went into making the 50,000,000 ending in LOTR.

already exists and had been reserved for baseball..... Grizzlies isn't an option either if the intention is that the existing team in WVC has that branding and likely is staying there since the NHL Team is sharing w/ the Jazz (common ownership)

Utah Pioneers or something to do with bees, that doesn't sound like a minor league team, seems the best way to go to me.
