Utah team name polling opens, list of potential names revealed

[njdevils1982]

These men were born 80 years ago. When they were born it was 80 years after the civil war.

and the oldest profession was there also

 

[Intense]

The only good answer is :

Utah Universe

Make the jerseys black with some small stars on it. Make it a bit shiny / glitter

Endless possibilities of third jersey too.

 

[ScottyK]

Utah Pride or Prowlers

 

[usiel]

Utah Vile Spewers.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Blast. Maybe Mountaineers.

 

[The Management]

Canada is an irrelevant country. So this doesn’t matter.

Oof.

I didn't say it was a bad thing! Who doesn't like cheese? Well, I suppose lactose intolerant folks... and they could have an AHL affiliate named the Curds or the Pepperjacks.

I'll just... see myself out.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

It’s Yeti. Making it plural is terrible

Plural is Yetii

Oof.

Lactose the Intolerant!

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

In deference to Keanu Reaves, the Point Breaks would be unique.

 

[Prsut18]

Utah yeti rolls smoothly off the tongue.

Utah Yeti Rolls ..the best name!

 

[Ratbath]

Should just keep coyotes if these are the only options they could come up with. Been many suggestions in this thread that are so much better. Frankly you could call yourself the Ice Fishers and it would be better than nearly all these official options.

 

[Peasy]

Honestly, who in their right mind green lit the potential name of Powder. Do they not know about hockey players and their cocaine use?

 

[Maple Leaf]

Utah Cappuccino

 

[acor]

Unpopular opinion- like ALL name suggestion, and Powder would be greatest name in history of sports.

 

[trojansoilers]

In deference to Keanu Reaves, the Point Breaks would be unique.

The Utah Get Me Twos

 

[kvladimir]

folks: the list of 20 has been released.... it'll be whittled down from that list

Or ignored completely, which is what I'm hoping for

 

[Dale Gribble]

Interestingly enough, there is a Ghost Town/unincorporated community in the State of Utah called Mammoth.

Either way it sounds and looks as though this whole thing is going to be for not as Yeti seems to have the ears and heart eyes of the Owner.

 

[Mr Positive]

It can't be Outlaws because people would bring prop guns to be wild west bandits

 

[Czechboy]

How many posters on HF?

Can we all set aside our differences for a day? Then have a poll on the worst possible f***en name.. then all go online and vote for the worst f***en name possible. Then just troll Utah for the next few years for having a stupid name?

Well at least we aren't naming teams after ethnicities or tribes we genocided.

 

[Crazy Cizikas]

Are there penguins in Pittsburgh?

There are two species of penguins in the Pittsburgh Zoo. So they’d be crazy to not name the team the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Yeti is probably the dumbest name I have ever heard

 

[JMCx4]

... I know that kids really love the Utah Yetis concept. I don’t love it, but if the kids go crazy for it, that makes it worth it.

Is there evidence that the Utah team owner will present a more family friendly product than his new fellow NHL owners? If not, it makes no sense to me to expect a cuddly mascot to be the face of Team Utah. More likely a well-dressed valet who visits the luxury suites to hawk more premium ticket sales.

 

[JMCx4]

I'm surprised there's not more attempts at alliteration or rhyming or something. Like a horrific attempt at using ChatGPT pairing up winter words and Utah attraction words. ...

if it's not faux pas, maybe Utah Ullr? A Norse God associated with skiing and hunting.

Ullr - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Norse gods are into skiing? That is TOTALLY awesome, dude!

 

[sr edler]

Kraken fans ....

Your own team is also named after a made up creature, the Jersey Devil.

 

[Leafs87]

Salt Lake City Warriors would be my pick
