Utah's naming survey is up, potential names revealed

[Coconuts]

The survey won't decide the eventual name, just help narrow things down, but it's interesting to see what they're considering

 

There will be another round of voting later this summer

Personally, I like Utah Outlaws, Utah Yeti, Utah Mammoth, Utah Swarm, and Utah Caribou, in no particular order

Can't say I "love" any of the options tbh. Also confused as to why its Utah Yeti and not Utah Yetis. I feel like that one should be plural. 

[LionofJudah]

Seen this the other day on insta. Had a good little chuckle at HC being an option.

 

Normally I prefer names with 's' on the end as to me it makes it feel more like your the team (idk if that makes sense) however ive kind of liked the idea of yeti.

 

Whatever the name we won't see it until '25 as next season they are just going to be Utah

Could still be adjusted if that name gains momentum

I'm leaning towards Outlaws, Utah Outlaws has a nice ring to it when you say it, but so does Utah Yeti/Yeti's 

 

And for sure, they won't have an actual brand for a while

I quite agree with outlaws. Its my second choice out of the options

[AlwaysACanuckFan]

Utah Yetis, Utah Mammoth, or Utah Outlaws 

[Guest]

Utah Nordiques, then Bettman doesn't have to deal with Quebec anymore.

[Shift-4]

 

Blown opportunity

[Canuck You]

Utah Outlaws has a nice ring..or should I say rink  ...I'll show my way out..

[Ghostsof1915]

Utah, Get me two!

 

 

[Goalie29]

Sadly, the Utah Phoenix wasn't on the list.

[HarbularyBattery]

can we write in name choices?

 

if so, im writing in "Utah Chonkers"

[HarbularyBattery]

Or maybe the "Utah Arizona Coyotes"

[NewbieCanuckFan]

..I should know better than to go down this road

I don't think so

 

Utah Heckin Chonkers

[Ribs]

Outlaws or Yeti will win.

[Bure_Pavel]

Utah Yeti is the best one in my opinion.

you are a genius

[Toni Zamboni]

its awkward if the name doesnt have a good plural form imo

 

[Toni Zamboni]

surprised the Saints are not on the list....as in the Latter Day variety

[GrammaInTheTub]

Yeti, Mammoth, and Swarm are my top three 

[Petey the Puck Whisperer]

They are all pretty terrible... utah HC and maybe the utah black diamonds

[Dizzle]

How did Caribou end up on that list? You're more likely to find a Yeti in Utah than a caribou... 

[Smashian Kassian]

Outlaws, Fury, Ice, Mammoth isn't bad.

 

Yeti is terrible. Blizzard would be good if the Avalanche didn't already exist.
