The colors are perfect.
I want no images of any Yeti. Just like Kraken has zero Kraken. And Devils have no Devils.
Team name and jersey ideas

It's short notice for Fanatics (yuck) to get something complex done. Best bet would be to decide on colors and then save complex logos for the following season. If something better comes to them in the process they can always just make the 1st jersey an alternate then phase it out.
D&C had something after only a few weeks in the case of the Bucks so maybe they get it done. It's also possible they were quietly hired once this became a possibility and have been working on it for some time. But no obvious name has come to the forefront like with Seattle.
Hmm, yeah I dunno. I’m not sure I entirely like that direction the Kraken have taken. What’s the point in having a cool looking creature for a mascot if you’re not going to show it at all? It shouldn’t be ostentatious or cartoony I agree, but you’ve got to show it in some sort of way imo. Like peaking out from behind a mountain or a boulder or really blended into one…I like that approach more
Yeah it's like having a Dragon for a logo but instead you just have some vague looking dragon horns on a big stylized letter D. Laaamme.
If you're gonna go for it do it. The Sharks didn't just go with some stupid looking S with a fin on it. They have a big old badass shark biting the crap out of a hockey stick.

Their fin logo is the only decent log they’ve had. The rest look minor leagues. Especially the hockey stick part. So lame.

I don’t know that we would have the best jersey or logo in the league if we just went with a C
I think the Kachina was an incredible design even if it is a tad cartoonish..
Utah should hire whoever did that design..

Ownership never wanted them to be the Kraken but were bullied into it by incessant social media campaigning (mostly from outside Seattle itself).
It was a bad decision and they have to live with giving in to it

How did the Bucks settle on their new look? Paul Lukas gives a behind-the-scenes look at how Milwaukee's redesign was created.www.espn.com
Interesting article on D&C's first big gig
This 1000x
This. Over and over. Spray paint Smiths house with this if you love out there. I'll pay the bail.
Oh baby!!!
But SLC Sax(x) is an absolute ridiculous thing I know won't happen. But my best bud lives in SLC and for the past couple weeks I've edged him into believing it's real to the point he has admitted it's the best troll I've ever done or I'm straight up right.
The Coyotes are dead. Long live the Sax!
Yeah - the horrible PC crowd ruined the opportunity to resurrect this gem of a team name and logo…Sorry, but I find the ‘Kraken’ equally as lame as the ‘Golden Knights’.
I love the name Utah Swarm as well. It's a nod to the beehive state but more subtle than say the Utah Bee's or Utah Buzz. Arena can be nicknamed the Hive.

I’m feeling confident that they can handle even a goofy name. I bet these dudes really want it to be Utah Black Diamonds.

utah hockey club is fine for a few years. locals will give them a name eventually, and then the team can rebrand and sell new merch. washington went from redskins to football team to commanders, sold the same merch 3 times in 5 years. rare business opportunity and they don't have access to jets 1.0 or yotes history.

Pronghorns is a more likely a name than Bighorns.
Portland, OR has a history as the Buckaroos.

I don’t know man … throw those next to pretty much any NHl logo and we drop to mediocre at best
Now it could be because they haven’t done NHL logos and I may eat my words and they blow me away , but I hope they never charged too much for these.
Maybe I am
Just not into thin stringy logos, but maybe that’s what’s needed for sports uniforms, compared to Jerseys.. and we have yet to see them make one
It’s not that I don’t love simple.. I think the Flyers logo , the Whalers logos are awesome etc..

If I was a betting man , I would bet that they go Yeti.. I am not convinced Smith wants that . But most of what I had heard from SLC is Yeti or Golden Eagles
It will be Utah some thing .. that was part of the agreement the state wanted
