What Should we name the Salt Lake City Team? (Mod: stop with the religious comments)

[Drake1588]

I wouldn't hate it if they kept the name Coyotes. The Utah Coyotes.

(Think Flames, Braves, Dodgers... it does happen, although it's been uncommon of late.)

 

[DustyDangler]

SLC Blueberry Bulldogs

Might as well be the…SLC Nectarine Neapolitan Mastiffs.

 

[PunchImlach is Alive]

Salt Lake City Leafs. Just keep the name.

The Utah Olympics is kind of a home run given the circumstances.

Though I wouldnt mind seeing a play on the unique 'SLC' moniker. The "SLC SeLeCts", the "SLC SeLtiCs" or something like that. Can even go in reverse with something like the "SLC CoLonizerS" or the "SLC CLownS". Lotta room for imaginary thought here. Exiting to say the least.

SLaCkers.

 

[BayStBullies]

Salt Lake

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Utah Skinwalker

Big fan of the Swarm, Sting, and Bighorns ideas. I also like the Blizzard, but might be too similar to the Avs as far as branding goes. All 4 of these names work equally well with Utah or Salt Lake imo.

Not a fan of Utah Yeti. Just looks and sounds weird. Plus the Avs already own the Bigfoot branding.

Rams and Sting names are already taken. Mind you the OHL team may allow the Sting name who knows.


Alpine?

Are we naming a ski team or a hockey team?

 

[Deadly Dogma]

If we look at the why Salt Lake city exists; maybe pathfinders?
If we look at local economy, they are a banking hub, make the majority of fish food in north America so something in that genre could work.
If we look at geography they have mountains and a valley.

So a name that can somehow encompass all of that would be ideal.

Grizzlies is already taken by another sports team.

The Sizzle, just for the alliteration.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Salty Lakes.

 

[DeltaSwede]

Utah Yeti geetteerrrdone

 

[WhataKnight]

Utah Skinwalker

Gemini Home Entertainment?

 

[Oates2Neely]

Something bee-related would be nice and would be topical for the area given that Mormonism has a long history of beehive-related symbology. Salt Lake Bees is already taken, though.

Utah Yellowjackets sounds solid, but having two -jacket teams in the NHL would be a bit much.

Utah Wasps would be too open for a joke despite the P part of the acronym not fitting.

Utah Hornets works, but "Hornets" is already more famous as an NBA team, so no need to second fiddle themselves when they don't have a history with the name.

Utah Drones? Eh... nah.

Maybe go a different route.

Utah Raptors would be neat after the dinosaur utahraptor, but again, second-fiddle to an NBA team. Lakers as well, darn you, LA.

State fish is a cutthroat troat, so Utah Cutthroats sounds badass.... but that's not really a mental image you want in hockey for pretty obvious and morbid reasons.

Eh, maybe something basic, like Utah Pioneers?

Utah Sting? Salt Lake Sting.. A bee holding a hockey stick would make for a cool logo.

You mean like this? It's pretty stupid and cartoony. Sorry Sarnia fans.

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

For some reason "Haymakers" came to mind but this doesn't seem particularly relevant to Salt Lake City.

No I’m thinking something similar to the Penguins logo. A Bee but not cartoonish

I was referring to alpine as in high elevations. Utah apparently has mountains. Lol. That being said I don’t really like the name alpine all that much. Yeti is pretty good I guess. But in twenty years when the NHL adds its 60th team I want Saskatchewan to be called the Samsquanches.

Salt Lake Swarm

Part of Utah's water crises is due to the fact the majority of its ranchers/farmers produce Alfalfa hay which is highly water intensive and is literally bleeding the state dry, so it is relevant

 

[mike14]

They should celebrate the most famous Utah moment ever by naming it the Utah Getme2...

 

[chris kontos]

the cary prices

So you want it to be like the single most cartoonish logo in the NHL? The one that's literally a cartoon?
