    Genuinely not any of them. Chuck em and start again, IMO.

  2. Massive_Contract_908

    I like Venom, maybe because I’m partial to Venom from the comics and I think they could do a nasty jersey theme with it.

  3. JerMAction

    Venom and Outlaws stand out for me, but I’m not in love with any of them.

  4. Vivid_Walk_1405

    Venom with a green and black color scheme could be really cool

  5. Hakuchansankun

    I don’t like there being another snow mountain team (yeti etc). If I had to choose from their choices…I guess venom? They all suck thus far.

  6. ThunderGoalie35

    I wouldn’t say that any of them really say anything about “Utah” to me but some of them are fun. I don’t want to see Ice, Yeti, or Blizzard, feel like we have those sewn up for ourselves. Fury is totally lame. But I don’t hate Venom or Outlaws

  7. vertiGox9

    Utah Accord to keep with the cars manufactured by Honda theme for his teams

  8. greenlanternxxx

    The worst was Utah Flurry, that’s just a weak annoying weather disturbance. The blizzard just seems like a rip off of us.

  9. foamypepperoni

    Blizzard and Yetis are too similar to us. Outlaws and Mammoth are our lacrosse teams. The others are bad. Yikes.

  10. Greenforaday

    Personally, I think these all suck. But they would be particularly dumb to go with a snow themed named considering we’ve already got that market covered. I said earlier today that would be like putting a team in South Carolina and calling them the Typhoons.

  11. ImperfectDrug

    I like Fury. I used to be play paintball and there was a fairly high level team here in Denver by that name, so it’s a bit nostalgic for me.

  12. They all are very bad and unoriginal.

    As expected.

  13. Utah Sting and Utah Raptors are so obvious. Not sure why they didn’t go with either of those.

  14. Considering my name and I’m a huge Avs fan, not Yetis.

  15. Perradactle

    Outlaw.

    U Taw- Out-law rolls off the tongue nicely.

  16. DangleSnipeCely

    It’s known as the beehive state I would try to work that in somehow

  17. For_Perpetuity

    Someone said they are bland boring and unimaginative. So on brand for Salt Lake

  18. Canadian__Ninja

    They all sound like minor league teams. Or ones you’d see in the EA create a team options.

  19. Elguerito

    If they take our yeti vibes I will burn Salt Lake to the ground.

  20. Khada_the_Collector

    JUST NAME THEM UTAH BEES/HIVE/SWARM IT’S RIGHT THERE!!!!!!

  21. robthepope86

    I wish they chose an SLC name, like SLC Utes or Rattlers. All these choices suck.

  22. rightinfronofmysalad

    I think raptors would be really cool considering the species that was actually named Utahraptor.

    If they do blizzard we should sue.

  23. SRTifiable

    Someone mentioned scorpions and IMO Salt Lake City Scorpions > Utah Scorpions

  24. Leather_Network4743

    “Hockey Club” is the best and it’s not even close. Those are horrible.

  25. Dan_Rogla

    Utah Prophets or Utah Paladins

    White and red sweaters, Knights Templar like with cross or medieval style touches.

    Would be a nice offset to Devils, Golden Knights, Kings.

    Alternates could be a light blue and gold similar to King Baldwin in Kingdom Under Heaven.

  26. burgundyblue

    Can we not do the crappy naming of soccer clubs? The Utah Anything’s is better than Hockey Club.

  27. Scoreycorey515

    Well, they’ll probably suck, so maybe they should just go with something bland like hockey club.

  28. Sad-Technology9484

    Just name them after the ownership group. The Smiths. It’d be a light that never goes out.

  29. godfadda006

    The Salt Lake Elders 
    The Utah Moronais
    SLC Soakers
    The SLC Smiths
    The 3.4% 

  30. Utah Diet Coke and Coffee Creamer /s

    Why be Yeti when you can be Monsters? It’s all about the alliteration…

    Salt Lake Shooters (better than Outlaws imo)

    Salt Lake Straight Edge

    Utah Desert Drifters

    Utah Monsters (gila monsters)

    As others have suggested Salt Lake Swarm or Utah Hive are legit.

  31. Leave-A-Note

    Utah Salty Lakers.

    That way, they piss off LA Lakers fans instead of us.

  32. RideTheGradient

    Venom and fury here. Though ice is so bad it may be good

    No, that’s a stupid name and no one should vote for it

    NO ONE!

  33. WesternWinterWarrior

    Utah War, its unique in sports and unique to Utah (a single state having a mini war with the US gov’t)

  34. This team doesn’t exist yet and I already hate them. Almost every option is either an existing variant of a Colorado team (Mammoth, Ice, Blizzard, Yeti, Outlaws)
