Utah team name polling opens, list of potential names revealed

[BarDownBobo]

I don’t get them going with just Utah in the first season. Seems like now to October would be enough time to roll out jerseys but I guess not.

You obviously haven’t seen the disaster that has been the Fanatics launch into baseball this year.

 

[HaNotsri]

Swarm is ok since it also fits Utah, the rest is really bad.

 

[613Leafer]

I picked Outlaws followed by
Blizzard (Jazz synergy)
Swarm
Fury

Outlaws just sounds so bad ass

Outlaws sounds like a beer league hockey name.

 

[Osakahaus]

Utah Swarm or Hive would rock so much. Those are the best names IMO. Also Mammoth.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

I still think they'll go with Utah Golden Kraken

 

[Maple Leaf]

Powder. How does that even make a list of 20?

They have to represent

 

[57special]

Minnesota will trade them the Wild name.

 

[saffronleaf]

Utah HC

 

[Kranix]

How will anyone choose between Frost, Freeze, Ice, and Blizzard?

 

[Neil Patrick Harris]

Can someone explain to me when the plural 's' became passe when it comes to sports team names?

Of those, Outlaws because plural 's' and the NHL could use a cool western-themed team.

Seriously, your neighbors are the Avalanche, so you decide to propose a bunch of cold/snow themed names?

 

[Dhockey16]

Would've preferred Utah H.C. over any of the names listed. Utah Yeti(s?) would be my guess.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Minnesota will trade them the Wild name.

Minnesota can then change their name to the Packers

 

[ForumNamePending]

Not a great list.

If they actually go with Utah Powder will it be too late to reverse course and just move 'em back to Arizona?

 

[barkovcanfinnish]

I actually kinda like Utah Caribou

 

[Hrkac Circus]

Well, you’re going to have to make the Utah Utahians jersey anyway, so just pick one of the names by draft weekend and go with it.

turns out the beehive is only on their flag because it symbolizes prosperity?? I thought they were a state founded on beekeeping.
Why force in those dull bee names

 

[ViD]

So the first year it’s HC Utah then

 

[Mandar]

Utah Buzz could have been epic!

 

[Kranix]

Somebody should have told Smith that the possible names that don't have a vague, tenuous association with Utah, don't have to be lame.

 

[hockey20000]

blizzard or outlaws are cool

 

[FlowMaster]

Utah Buzzsaws would be cool

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

These are all very generic and beer league. Maybe you could do something cool with Glaciers. Black Diamonds and Squall are different, but they're kind of ugly sounding.

 

[Foppberg]

Utah Swarm or Hive would rock so much. Those are the best names IMO. Also Mammoth.

Is Utah big for honey production or something? Lol

Another Utah thread with more poorly researched information. Literally just google "Utah Beehive State" and you too can learn about why they call it that!

Also everyone on here and twitter: These names suck
Ok...what do you suggest? Haven't seen anyone suggest anything, just shit talking

I just told you why it's on the flag. I don't need to look it up.
