Utah Stingers maybe?

Anything bee related would be great.

Poll: Vote For Favorite NHL In Utah Team Nickname

The state of Utah finally has an NHL hockey team to call its own. However, the club doesn't have a nickname yet.

kslsports.com

5,000 votes and Yetis is running away with it. Outlaws is in 2nd with fewer than half the votes of Yetis. Blizzard is behind that. Black Diamonds (my favorite) is in 4th place.

I think the official results will depend on who is allowed to vote..

If it is just Utah residents, I believe Yeti wins..

If it is allowed to spread beyond the borders, it will be something else

Also the results may have been triggered by RS saying the colors are purple and Blue.. anyone who picked black diamonds or outlaws may have changed to Yeti after hearing that

I suspect it will be the 27K folks who put down $200 season ticket deposits.

I agree. I think if Yetis is an option, it’ll win. The team
Will need to evaluate how they feel about the consumer goods brand confusion BEFORE they add it to the official poll. It it makes it to the poll, they’re ok with it. And if it makes it to the poll, I think it’s winning.

It will have to be Yetis instead of Yeti because as you mentioned the cooler confusion

I bet he also throws it in front of the players to give them some input as well . It sounded like he wants the players to really feel they are involved with building this

Most names are plural

Also Yetis is what they trademarked.

Utah Raptors would be really cool IMO between the Utahraptor and all the fossils found there.

Especially with a southern Utah color scheme like purple/red/orange

Inarguably the coolest name. But there’s just zero chance they pick an existing NBA team name.

True, that probably is a hurdle they don't want to deal with given the timeline

If it's the Blizzard, the crowd chant has to be, "STORM ON!"

No "Go Blizz Go" or "Let's Go Blizz-ard" crap.

STORM ON! *clap clap clap* STORM ON! *clap clap clap*

Blizzard would also fit well with the whiteout whenever they make the playoffs.

I wonder if they'll keep that tradition since Meruelo still owns the rights to the Coyotes.

Whiteouts are now the stupidest tradition in hockey because they don’t wear white at home

They could do a blackout but the goalies might not like that

Copperheads are a Deep South snake. Not a western US snake. They don’t have them in Utah.

Call me crazy, but I think Black Diamonds uniforms probably need have at least SOME black in them. Haha.

 

[dlawong]

How about Utah Buzz keepers?

Are concerns about native range accuracy new? I never saw a ranger in NYC, and penguins are not native to Pittsburg.

No. Kraken was just so bad.

Utah Hoodoos.

I don’t know the history of how they named these things 100 years ago. There may have been a cigarette smoking penguin who was mayor of Pittsburgh in those days, whose literal name was just a racial slur of some kind.

Point with “copperheads” is that it’s a very specific name of a real thing with a real range.

I guess it doesn’t matter. We’re talking about a state whose pro hockey history is largely tied up in “grizzlies” which they don’t have. And whose front-runner is a mythical Asian rock monster. And who share a building with the “Utah Jazz” of all things.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

And who share a building with the “Utah Jazz” of all things.

I still remember when the basketball team relocated from New Orleans. Back then the team name made sense. When they got to Utah, everyone was expecting them to change the name... but no.

 

[Felonious Python]

The Colorado Mammoth are a lacrosse team.

I have a suspicion that Pioneers will fill out the bracket.
