Utah Team Name - Which is best?

[elmaco]

Outlaws or Mountaineers, the rest are cringe.

 

[KevinRedkey]

Yeti, Mammoth, and Mountaineers are my three favorite. I voted Yeti

I think Yeti or Outlaws will eventually be chosen. I also like Outlaws FWIW.

 

[KrisLeturnover]

Yeti AINEC

 

[kevsh]

Saints

 

[adsfan]

If I have to pick 1 from the list: Yeti.

My own choice: Pioneers.

Outlaws just feels like low hanging fruit - I've seen that team name a dozen times growing up in different sports/leagues. Maybe not quite as common as Lions, Tigers, Eagles, etc, but not far off either.

Yeti, Mammoth, Mountaineers, Swarm, Blizzard, etc at least seem a little more unique.

 

[La Bamba]

These are all terrible but if I had to choose a ‘name’ from the list, it would be Mountaineers

 

[Beerz]

Yeti. Hands down.

 

[muddywaters]

Utah Bighorns ... I voted Yeti

 

[Ratbath]

Mountaineers is the least stupid if you have to pick from this list

 

[Matt Ress]

Utah Transplants would refer to the team and fan base.

I kinda like the Blast from the list.
Yeti is growing on me.
Canyons is stupid. May as well name them the Gaping Gaps

How is Yeti winning?

 

[BB79]

They're all terrible, so you might as well just use Utah HC

 

[VaporTrail]

How about the Utah Nicholson's ?

 

[SPV]

As the beehive state,I like Swarm, but I’d also add Buzz and Sting(ers).

 

[Forge]

Black diamonds for me

 

[centipede2233]

The Utah Gary Betteman’s

 

[adsfan]

How is Yeti winning?

I voted for it!

 

[nightonthesun]

How is “ice” an option? I need an explanation

Utah Bighorns ... I voted Yeti

Bighorns is awesome. You’re hired

 

[Magic Man]

I voted for Mammoth. But, I'd also be happy with Outlaws. I like the idea of Yeti and they could do some interesting jerseys with that theme but it doesn't sound as smooth as those two.

Utah Golden Tablets.

Don't really like any of them, but yeti is the pretty clear "winner" IMO. Short, only 2 syllables so it's easy for fans to cheer/yell. There's a similar sound between the "U" in Utah vs the "Ye" yeti. Leaves good options for logo/jersey design.

I feel the opposite, that people will chose inferior names just because they rhyme or have a similar sound that flows well. Like when everyone wanted Seattle to go with a name that started with an "S" and most of the examples were ridiculous. Same thing with Vegas, people would go out of their way to find a name that started with a "V" even if the name was silly.
