These are all terrible. What happened to Stingers?

akthomas.bsky.social•39 days ago

Wait how can you trademark Yeti? Isn't that like saying you have a trademark on "cat"?

rohan-boricha.bsky.social•39 days ago

Idk Yetis aren’t real though

dbotter.bsky.social•39 days ago

Utah Mammoth (no "s"). They can be called the "Woolies"

blorgon.bsky.social•38 days ago

Bonneville Speedsters

dolemite.bsky.social•39 days ago

Hockey Club. Better that than being stuck with either of the others.

sp2799.bsky.social•39 days ago

Colorado Mammoth
Utah Mammoth
Is there a thing where every state in the Mountain time zone has to have team named the Mammoth?

jordanmarinolfgr.bsky.social•39 days ago

It cannot be Mammoths. I just developed a lisp thinking about that.

samarai.bsky.social•39 days ago

Gotta do mammoths for dah kids 🦣

rj4change.bsky.social•39 days ago

Was Sasquatch taken? That must be the best word in the English language.

pippintoke.bsky.social•39 days ago

Might be in the minority, but I like Hockey Club. Wish more US teams would embrace that naming convention. But I kind of liked Washington Football Team in the NFL, so what do I know.

cadenswanigan.bsky.social•38 days ago

But it's not a hockey club if it's just a franchise owned by billionaires. That implies the fans have a say

They want to be named after a professional lacrosse team? https://coloradomammoth.com/

bmetts.bsky.social•39 days ago

Is it too late for Utah McHockeyFace?

bho14.bsky.social•39 days ago

Utah Blizzard was definitely the move

punktahini.bsky.social•39 days ago

Mammoths not even a competition

t1mxor3.bsky.social•39 days ago

They might not even get to do that since the Colorado Mammoth are a pro lacrosse org owned by Kroenke Sports, owner of the Colorado Avalanche. UHC should probably be the way moving forward

trippsteve.bsky.social•39 days ago

Haven’t we learned that you can’t trust Americans when they are given the vote?

lonepelican.bsky.social•39 days ago

Wasatch.

awol-evan.bsky.social•39 days ago

How can you trademark a cryptozoological phenomenon?

warriorrabbit.bsky.social•39 days ago

Well… Wasatch, I guess.

Did negotiations include a Yeti sponsorship? I hope so.

aguilar46.github.io•39 days ago

Of the 3, Mammoth is by far the best choice.

sctw.bsky.social•39 days ago

UHC

hochbilly.bsky.social•39 days ago

Yetis was the only option and now they need a total overhaul. Let’s go with SLC Punks.

jmurph72.bsky.social•39 days ago

Mammoths? Not Mammoth? That’s an odd plural

mfgang.bsky.social•38 days ago

If it's not The Utah Sister Wives, someone isn't doing their job.

adamlcox.bsky.social•39 days ago

Anything but “The Utah Hockey Club” please.

613tim.bsky.social•39 days ago

Should have gone with the Rattlesnakes. “On a rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desert” #springsteen

phife.bsky.social•39 days ago

how hard is it to make a deal with the yeti people? by far the best name. mammoth is now the only decent one available.

realburneracct.bsky.social•39 days ago

They should have the people of New Orleans pick a name, worked out for basketball.

firetiger99.bsky.social•39 days ago

Utah Mammoths are an awesome name!

merrilhess754.bsky.social•39 days ago

Or, and stop me if this sounds crazy, PARTNER UP WITH YETI AND MAKE A FUCK TON OF BANK FOR BOTH

nnoodle64.bsky.social•39 days ago

Mammoths!!!!!

knava12.bsky.social•39 days ago

Utah Blizzard should have been the choice.

coco1984.bsky.social•38 days ago

What about Arches?

nycommenter.bsky.social•39 days ago

Is UHC dicey with the negative feelings toward United Healthcare? Hockey Club of Utah? Salt Lake Hockey Club? “What’s a Wasatch?” isn’t really what you want either. I’d bet we get the Mammoths if it’s down to these 3. 🤷🏼‍♂️

bigfishstone.bsky.social•39 days ago

Dang. Really was the best name.

steiney.bsky.social•39 days ago

The super soakers 😏

bert711.bsky.social•38 days ago

How about just sticking with Coyotes. At least Utah has Coyotes. No jazz worth hearing in that state.

seinberg.bsky.social•39 days ago

The Wah Wahs.

theathletic.bsky.social•39 days ago

Which team name do you want the Utah Hockey Club use?

Here's some background on the three finalists ⤵️

mlo228.bsky.social•39 days ago

Utah should keep the “ZZ” theme, like with the Jazz, call the hockey team the Blizzard.

flooder3a.bsky.social•39 days ago

Johnny Utahs

jjwinter.bsky.social•39 days ago

Utah should continue its tradition of keeping names that don’t apply, though I don’t know if there are coyotes in Utah.

giovannipallotta.bsky.social•39 days ago

I like Hockey Club

darrengsaw.bsky.social•39 days ago

Franchises, everything that's wrong with American sport. Screw the fans in Arizona that loved their team.

illinibob1977.bsky.social•39 days ago

the Utah Jizz?

at0micd0g.bsky.social•39 days ago

That's horrible. Yeti was the best. Did Cleveland worry about Guardian locks? Did the Nationals worry about the car rental company?

sportshistory.bsky.social•39 days ago

Golden Eagles would be appropriate

Leave it the way it is...Utah HC

Lawyers F everything up. Too many lawyers in this country.

lordbuckingham.bsky.social•39 days ago

They missed an opportunity with Black Diamonds.

hbking32.bsky.social•39 days ago

Mammoths then. (Although Yeti or Blizzard/The Blizz were the best options.)

sirtylermcnuggets.bsky.social•38 days ago

This is stupid af. So they have to have a 💩 hockey team name because of a cooler? Magic, sorry 2 close 2 the magic kingdom. While we’re at it, the Mets & nets are too close sounding. They both need 2 change their names since they reside in NY. Colleges have copyrights & have the same damn mascot!
