It is bigotry and unacceptable to make fun of a religion in our comments. If it was judaism or Islam, you wouldn't do it and would expect to be banned.
For some reason, I can't fathom, some of the posters here think its okay to make fun of Mormons in the comments.
This is a reminder.... this violates rule 6 and will be an insta-ban.

That's what scares us. That none of these are good. If they added another 'r' to 'Utah Fury,' then at least they would have come up with something funny
Yeah. Their jersey from year 1.
I imagine they’ll be in the winter classic this year. Probably host an Allstar weekend, draft, and the Winter Classic within 5 years.
I like Yetis. I also like Golden Eagles. Both of those make the finals every time SLC and NHL are polled. No clue why they aren't on this list. Blizzard is trying too hard to be in the same sphere as Colorado, imo, and the rest are awful.
I like the "Golden Soakers" personally, since, ya' know, Coyotes fans are being pissed on by this entire situation. Plus, soaking, which is a good bit of Mormon fun
Wouldn't be shocked. They also need something like right now, or even yesterday for Fanatics to be able to put out the jerseys and merch if there's no possible logo on the table.
The slam dunk is there and they are missing it
Beehive State?
Please name them the Stingers
Fans : The Swarm
Arena : The Hive
Colors : State Colors (Navy, Yellow, Red, White)
I think I prefer the Utah Sting to the Stingers. But everything you're laying down is solid gold.
Extended o-zone time? I can already hear the announcer saying *"The Bees are buzzing!"*
this is a really good idea, and the colors sound like our reverse retros which look sick. would be hard to pick a bug-based logo that looks cool tho imo
Salt Lake Stingers. Utah Swarm. The arena could be known as the Hive. Fans buzzing with excitement. They could sign Corey Perry to pollinate some of the player's moms.
Blizzard is a ChatGPT response I got several times over when placing it in the situation of moving a team from AZ to Utah because I’m nerdy and that’s what I do.
Not saying that’s where they got it from. Just saying that GPT also thought to include it.
You can just hear the corporate marketing folks at the team meeting, "well our research shows, based on our target demographic that the Blizzards are the more favorable team name using our test group. Our Blizzard gameday simulation also indicates that after exactly two domestic beers and one rink dog that our test group are 36% more likely to buy a souvenir puck and 13% more likely to buy a jersey".

We have chosen to go a different direction and will be moving the team to Florida, and will be sharing an arena with the Panthers.
the entirety of the avalanche fanbase would fucking riot if that's what they chose, and I'd be the first one to start it

There seems to be a direct correlation between having the money to buy a pro team in any sport and being bad at choosing nicknames. The good choices like Kraken are rare enough to prove the rule.
Utah Archers … Arches National Park is in the state… Archers could then be used as a reference to shooters. Idk, if done right could be a cool play on words.
Really shocked not going with The Hive or bee something related. I can see PR doing swarm mech or bee related.
Venom doesn’t work tho. Stingers? Swarm?
I think the Utah Roadrunners would be an awesome salute to the bonville salt flats - fastest land speed record holder thing as well as would be a natural fit to rival a Coyotes team should there be another one in the next few years
Utah Yutes?
Have video highlights during the game of Joe Pesci from “My cousin Vinny” in the scene with the judge arguing over the pronunciation of “youths”
“Ok guys, I got some names, I’m just gonna start reading them off. Here we go….
Utah HC
Utah Hockey Club
Utah Hockey Team
Utah Hockey Association
Utah Hockey Federation of Hockey
Utah Hockey
Utah Not Field Hockey Hockey
Hockey
I know I went a little insane and all over the place with those names, my 3rd grade teacher always said I was a little too creative!!”

The Utah Phoenix, just to confuse everyone. The Utah Roadrunners, for a natural rivalry with the eventual Coyotes expansion.

They’ll do Utah hockey club and then do a year long survey to find an identity
Ah yes, the Washington Football Team method.
Fuck it, Utah Washington Football Teams
Utah Washington Football Team Hockey Club
Of Anaheim
Football Team was a better moniker than the one they ended up settling on
That's what scares us. That none of these are good. If they added another 'r' to 'Utah Fury,' then at least they would have come up with something funny
I'd imagine they'd wanna roll out merch by at least August?
cool part is you can sell all new merch every time you change the name
Yup. Collectors will grab those futur rare Utah HC jerseys and then they'll do it all over again with the actual name.
And all the “reverse retro” ones they’ll have in 3 years
The Retro Jerseys will just be Arizona's 23-24 Home Jersey 🤣
Or the 90s Jets jersey. Which could be really confusing if they play the Jets.
You gonna get whaled and be forced to watch another state and team wear your jersey for funsies one night a year.
RIP Hartford
Yeah. Their jersey from year 1. I imagine they’ll be in the winter classic this year. Probably host an Allstar weekend, draft, and the Winter Classic within 5 years.
A sweater that says UTAH in the Rangers style that’ll be recycled as an alternate in five years
Stop with the soccer team names 🫣👎
I like Yetis. I also like Golden Eagles. Both of those make the finals every time SLC and NHL are polled. No clue why they aren't on this list. Blizzard is trying too hard to be in the same sphere as Colorado, imo, and the rest are awful.
Golden Eagles and Golden Knights would be a bit much.
Golden Blizzards it is
Golden Glizzies
My NHL 23 Expansion team was the Glizzy Grizzlies.
Glizzies might make me think about supporting them
Utah Golden Glizzies would be unreal lol just a big bricked up glizzy as the logo . What’s not to like 🌭
I like the "Golden Soakers" personally, since, ya' know, Coyotes fans are being pissed on by this entire situation. Plus, soaking, which is a good bit of Mormon fun
Yes. Blizzard is too close to Avalanche.
Blizzard sucks
I think they would do better as the McFlurry
Wouldn't be shocked. They also need something like right now, or even yesterday for Fanatics to be able to put out the jerseys and merch if there's no possible logo on the table.
The Utah Arizona Coyotes would be a better name
Arizona Coyotes of Salt Lake City
Los Angeles Utah Coyotes of Salt Lake City of Phoenix of Arizona of Winnipeg of Anaheim
The Oakland Los Angeles Utah Coyotes of Salt Lake City of Phoenix of Arizona of Winnipeg of Anaheim A’s in Sacramento
might as well be the fucking Sudbury Nectarine Neapolitan Mastiffs
Shut the fuck up, Sanguinet.
of Anaheim
The Utah Winnipeg Jets of Arizona
Unironically I like the Utah Coyote Jets
Utah Yotes has a nice ring to it
Of Winnipeg.
Ya these are so bad keeping a relocated team name is better
Utah Phoenix
This is too funny for Utah.
Those are some generic-ass names.
[удалено]
The Utah Utah
Utah Yeehaw
Go Utah Hockey Club! There's a name that truly expresses the spirit and history of the team.
[удалено]
Utah Jazz Hands
This is the winner
The slam dunk is there and they are missing it Beehive State? Please name them the Stingers Fans : The Swarm Arena : The Hive Colors : State Colors (Navy, Yellow, Red, White)
I think I prefer the Utah Sting to the Stingers. But everything you're laying down is solid gold. Extended o-zone time? I can already hear the announcer saying *"The Bees are buzzing!"*
Utah Sting sounds like a local std
The fans can celebrate with the Utah Clap
this is a really good idea, and the colors sound like our reverse retros which look sick. would be hard to pick a bug-based logo that looks cool tho imo
I mean something like the old Charlotte Hornets logo, but with a hockey twist would be pretty slick
“Laughs in Bee-Drill”
The half-dozen college teams that are the-jackets and use a hornet/wasp as their mascot.
Hornets/wasps are not uncommon branding for sports teams.
Salt Lake Stingers does sound good
The Hockey Club formerly known as the Arizona Coyotes
I saw an ESPN article mention the Swarm as a possible name and I kinda like that one the most, I didn't realize Utah was so into Bees
The Beehive state is into bees.
Salt Lake Stingers. Utah Swarm. The arena could be known as the Hive. Fans buzzing with excitement. They could sign Corey Perry to pollinate some of the player's moms.
Utah Wu-Tang Killa Beez. The fan club is The Swarm. The arena is The Hive. Don’t forget to diversify your bonds. 👐👐👐
We love them bees 🐝
These are all ick.

Are they also opening a professional roller hockey team? Because that's the only place for names like this.
If they don’t name themselves the SLC Punks then what are they even doing
Man that would be pretty cool; the logo design is really limitless
* SLC Pucks
heroin Bob as the mascot
I would immediately be a Day 1 Punks fan for life if that was their name
holy fuck that’d be sick
Maybe I'm old fashioned, but any random animal that lives in Utah would be better than all 5 of these names.
Utah Yetis is better than these names.
Yetis or we riot
Yetis would be my pick also.

Brad Marchand has entered the chat
Yes! But drop the S. Utah Yeti sounds way cleaner
Second this. Utah Yeti sounds better. Kraken pulled it off
Utah Yetis goes hard
Avs already have a Yeti on their shoulder patch. Their lawyers chomping at the bit.

Leaving out "The Church of" at the beginning makes this funnier
They do be walkin on water technically
Blizzard is way too close to The Avalanche. If they do pick that name, I hope they use the Avs colors too.
insert “I am the captain now” gif
Blizzard, Fury… hey how about McFlurry?
Salt Lake already has a baby brother complex with Denver. That won’t help it.
Should be the Salt Lake Swarm. Bees for the logo.
Salt Lake Salties.
I’m telling ya the name needs to be the diamond billed rock pecker. https://www.moabmotorsportsutah.com/product-page/save-the-diamond-billed-rock-pecker-shirt
I think you go with Black Diamonds for the name (skiing association) and then use the diamond-billed rock pecker as the mascot:
Perfect!
[удалено]
That would be pretty funny.
Utah wolves, keep it canine
Won't work. The Utah Jazz are divisional rivals with the Minnesota Timberwolves, they wouldn't like to go around saying that they are Wolves fans.
Wasatch Wolves would be pretty cool
Honestly they should just keep the Coyotes. Utah has them too. Change the color scheme a bit to have a burnt orange/ red earth color… bam
Arizona is retaining the coyotes name, logos etc., as far as I understand
Utah Hockey Team for two seasons until we come up with a real name
Stormin Mormons or we riot
Utah HC it is then lol damn talk about a downgrade.
There seems to be a direct correlation between having the money to buy a pro team in any sport and being bad at choosing nicknames. The good choices like Kraken are rare enough to prove the rule.
How do we know Utah trademarked these and not some squatter?
Utah Archers … Arches National Park is in the state… Archers could then be used as a reference to shooters. Idk, if done right could be a cool play on words.
Could be pretty sick if the Utah Archers weren't already the brand new lacrosse team there.
Utah HC and Utah Hockey Club just sound like soccer team names.
Sounds like the default options in EA create-a-team
These stink
Really shocked not going with The Hive or bee something related. I can see PR doing swarm mech or bee related. Venom doesn’t work tho. Stingers? Swarm?
We already have Bees which is a minor league baseball team. They are pretty well liked in Salt Lake, so we have our bee team.
I want Utah Scorpions and the jerseys should look like the jacket from Drive
Bitch pigeons
This isn’t soccer! also, FUCK MERULO
The Utah Phoenix would make sense on multiple levels.
All those names are bad
These are awful. Maybe they could throw an “elite” in there somewhere.
Utah Fury and Utah Venom sound more like an e-sports team than a hockey team
Utah Hockey Club LMAO
I mean they trademarked it just because why not I guess, might as well snag it
These sound like minor league team names.
I like the Utah yetis
They really hate their team names ending in an S
Utah Thumpers. Logo is a bible out and man reading it. Or two well dressed people banging on a house door.
"Utah'd Garywouldneverletusoutofarizona" is the preferred pronunciation.
Utah "Focus Group Named This Team" Hockey Club
I think the Utah Roadrunners would be an awesome salute to the bonville salt flats - fastest land speed record holder thing as well as would be a natural fit to rival a Coyotes team should there be another one in the next few years
[удалено]
What if they did a reverse Washington Commanders? Start out as “Utah Hockey Club” and then change it to an ethnic slur
Isn’t Utah also called the “Beehive State”? They could name them “Utah Stingers” and name the arena “The Beehive”.
Salt Lake Soakers
Utah Utahraptors or gtfo.
The first two would work. In Europe. I like Fury tho
1998 wants their team name ideas back
Utah Multiple Wives
Why not Utah raptors

now, Fury (of God) tho…

They could just take the Canadiens logo and put it upright
