The Nashville Predators mascot is a Sabertooth Tiger and the Mammoth is a Pro Indoor Lacrosse team in Denver

Brodie 30+ years ago. "The San Jose BABY Sharks? I dunno."

The Blizzard is not a shake. It's soft serve with ingredients blended in.

Dark horse…Utah Snow Owls with a fierce looking bird logo…

If the Winnipeg Jets 2.0 got their name finalized from May 2011 in time for the draft, and jerseys ready before end of summer, then surely Utah can come up with a name and Jerseys by October! The generic NHL name and logo would be so lame to start the season

Yeti did say they would sponsor if the team name is yeti

No, yetis is plural. Just like sharks.

Why not have a railroad theme? Utah was made famous by the transcontinental railroad. Columbus used the bluejackets name in reference to Ohio producing the union army blue uniforms used in the 1860's, so Utah could could easily use a railroad related name.

The plural of yeti is “yetis”. Some want to argue otherwise, but the other thing is that it isn’t “Utah Yeti” that they filed a copyright for-it’s “Utah Yetis”. And it’s probably my choice. Everything else sounds generic or uninspired.

Many MLB teams have adopted named that were used by minor league teams in the same area. These include Milwaukee Brewers, Baltimore Orioles, Miami Marlins, San Diego Padres, and Los Angeles Angels. Also in MLB, the Colorado Rockies adopted a name used by a previous NHL team, the Colorado Rockies of 1976 to 1982 (originally Kansas City Scouts, now New Jersey Devils).

I didn't like Yeti at first but it has grown on me. Blizzard is a safe second for me, but also like names such as Utah Swarm or Sting to go with the beehive state. Black diamonds could be cool as well as it goes with our ski culture.

For years the WHL had a team named Kootenay Ice and it's mascot was a Yeti. Also, I believe that Colorado has a pro lacrosse team called the Mammoth which has the same owner as the Avalanche.

Utah HC would align with the Canadiens, since they're also called "Le Club de Hockey de Montréal" french for Montreal HC

The WHL had a team named the Ice, and their logo was a very ferocious yeti/abominable snowman. However, when they relocated, they changed their name to the Wild.

What about the Utah Blizzard but with a purple, sky blue, and white color scheme and a yeti as the mascot with purple being the main color on the jersey? I think itd be nice to have a team with a deep purple

Love the content, thanks.

Utah Yeti is by far the best one. It's creative, unique and having four letters in your first and last name just fits well.

I mean the 90s Toronto Raptors had one of the greatest logo/uniform/mascot combinations in all of sports despite Raptors also being extinct. I’m rolling with the Mammoth, it sounds badass.

Mammoth is already the name of a team in a “minor” sports league as the Colorado Mammoth play in the National Lacrosse League (NLL)

Utah Yeti makes me think they'd have a mascot based on Travis Kelce, whose nicknamed the "Big Yeti." Utah HC is a good placeholder. All of the other names are meh, but we'll see. Honestly, Utah Pioneers might work given that historical connection (yes, I know very well the Mormon connection there).

When I see Fury I think the furies from Greek Mythology. So they could lean into that theme. Olympians was a name that fans wanted them to use. Fury or furies could be going along with that theme while not being called Olympians.

Denver Outlaws is the old (and returning) Professional Lacrosse League team (outdoor lacrosse)

Yeti is also the name of a high end mountain bike brand. With all of the excellent mtn biking in Utah, it gives another twist to the nickname.

Your cons can work with your Sharks too. 4 colleges teams 2 indoor football teams 40+ Asian teams Basketball, Baseball etc. Raptors never inhabited Toronto?

I don't understand why it should take too long to adopt a new name. I was living in Colorado at the time the Quebec Nordiques moved from Quebec to Denver. It didn't take long for the team to adopt the name Colorado Avalanche. They won the Stanley Cup in their first season in Colorado and have won two more Stanley Cup championships since then.

A historical reference to the Promontory Point Railroad Spike work be uniquely Utah

I’ll be honest until Utah had a hockey team I didn’t know your KZfaq!!! Seriously I have loved your videos and looking forward to the next few years!

Utah Buzz

There was a team in the Western Hockey League (WHL) named the Ice (1996-2022) which moved around a bit. Their logo until their last few years was a Yeti.

Been loving all the NHL content lately!

Outlaws is a name that belongs to Houston for me. Utah Rogue? Utah HC works as a temporary placeholder. Utah Yeti I would like to see that too. Titans would also work, but again with a Yeti as a mascot.

Yeti in powder blue would be awesome

I hate all these names. I have a few suggestions: Utah Wolfpack. Utah Raptors. Utah Mountaineers.

Just wanted to point out a few more cons about your top choices... Utah Yeti: The Colorado Avalanche's retired mascot was a Yeti (Howler), and the fan favorite foot logo (also retired)was modeled after a Yeti foot. Utah Mammoth: The Colorado Mammoth are a professional LaCrosse team in Colorado, also owned by Stan Kroenke, who also own the Avalanche. Utah Blizzard: Too Similar to an Avalanche. It would be like if we had the Predators Vs the Carnivores, the Thunder Vs the Lightning, the Stars Vs the Suns. They lose their identity by being too closely related.

Live in Salt Lake County, Already on the tickets list. There are 2 choices and 6 not even "Also Rans". We need a new slate of options.

Columbus also has a new pro volleyball team called the fury and Denver has a pro lacrosse team called the mammoth. I like mammoth or yetis the best, but I also think that they should consider something railroad themed because salt lake and Utah in general have huge connections to that history.

Re: Yeti. For comparison purposes, the Kraken Rum brand has been promoted by the Seattle Kraken as one of its early announced partnerships. I think a lot of that had to do with naming rights negotiations that happened behind the scenes. I could see a similar thing happening if SEG decides to go the Yeti route.

Honestly, there is always going to be overlap with other team names in other leagues and sports or other companies, so I don't put too much stock in that. There is a Canadian Western Hockey League Junior team called the Kootenay Ice. Their logo has lots of sharp edges and feature a Sasquatch/Yeti as part of the logo. The Fury name came from a adult fiction book series based around a fictional hockey team named the Utah Fury. If the owner's are going for a similar color scheme to the Jazz, the Yeti, Mammoth, Blizzard, and Ice would be best options to match. My favorite is probably the Mammoth right now.

Picturing the badass logo possibilities for Mammoth and Yeti🔥

Also with the Ice name, there are two teams in the low-level SPHL whose names start with "Ice", such as the Pensacola Ice Flyers (with their previous ECHL team being the Ice Pilots) and the Knoxville Ice Bears.

Anytime I hear someone say "in the words of Joe Thornton." I immediately think of a different quote he made.....😂

The Utah Phoenix(es)! The Logo can be a Phoenix Flying out of dormant Utah volcano Something similar to old Utah Jazz logo, With the Phoenix flying up, between the T and the A.

I like Yeti. One can imagine a logo spelling out the word with a black shadow in the shape of a Yeti holding a goalie stick and blocking almost the entire net. I had considered the Locomotive, in honor of Promintory Point, but Yeti is likely more to work with, particularly after you bring up the rule on syllables. Never even thought of that.

The town I grew up in had this local ice cream shop. They named their version of the blizzard the avalanche!😂

Utah hive or sting or something bee themed would be original and major league level while keeping with the state and keeping inline with the other popular team in town the Salt Lake City bees, a lot of the names thrown around up to now sound like EASHL team names

Yeti has been my favourite all along as well. Sounds the best, is original, and reminds me a lot of the Seattle Kraken.

Does anyone remember Howler the Colorado Avalanche yeti? He was there first mascot. I think I have lunch still use the yeti footprint on their jersey sometimes.

fans seem to like plural yetis. sounds puerile just like the seattle team name.

Sabertooth tigers are extinct if was really real (That is the predators mascot). The Kootenay/Winnipeg Ice was a WHL team and for fans of the league the name was fine. Also, you've only had a Blizzard on vacation in the summer? :o

Too much lost merchandise and revenue if they pick H.C. for their "inaugural" season. The first year is always a HUGE year for merch sales. Temp name would be a stupid move Brodie

How you'd feel if it's Utah HC as a temp logo, but the use a 70's California seals style word logo and colours which was used by the 70s slc golden eagles of the whl and chl

Utah LOVES Disney, the Yeti connection with the Matterhorn is nostalgic and cool. NHL fans EVERYWHERE will buy Yeti merch.

Brodie I love the videos, but the lack of research into the Mammoths and Outlaws name is pretty hilarious. There's a pro team in Lacrosse named the Colorado Mammoths, who are a pretty big deal here in CO, as well as the Denver Outlaws. If you're concerned about Yeti coolers getting upset with the name then maybe consider already named sports teams. The Colorado Mammoths are also owned and operated by the same ownership group as the Avs.

I saw someone suggest the name Utah Raptors, because apparently Utahraptor is one of Utah's states fossils (the other being Allosaurus)... yes, I'm aware that it shares a name with the Toronto Raptors but I quite like the name... what do you guys think? 🤔

The double z thing was popular with Utah sports teams in the late 90s/early 2000s. Obviously they have the Jazz, plus a minor league hockey team called the Grizzlies. The Triple A Salt Lake Bees used to be called the Buzz. On top of that, they once had the Starzz (WNBA), Freezz (indoor soccer), Catzz (indoor football), and a few others. Basically, it's played out.

Plural of Yeti is actually Yetis, I Googled it.

There is going to be a minor pro team with any name you think of. I don't think that is a con if unless it's a team that is local to the area.

Winnipeg’s WHL team was called the ice, so not original and interestingly enough their mascot was a yeti

Brodie: "You only get one chance. You can't keep changing your name every two or three years, or even twice within the first five years alone...." Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings: "Woah, woah, woah! No need to drag up the past and get all personal." (lol)

Amherst College changed its mascot to the Mammoths a few years ago. Great name and would work well here. Not sure why Utah would choose the singular Mammoth over the plural.

Yeti and Mammoth are easily the best two. I really like the Mammoth name. The name represents something big and powerful. For a mascot they could have a fake giant (but live like) mammoth built. If I am correct, don’t Detroit use or used to have a giant octopus in their arena. Utah could do the same thing. Also with the mammoth nickname, they could incorporate horns in the uniforms (like the LA Rams). I’m between the powerful sounding name, potential giant mammoth hanging in the arena and horns on the uniforms that the mammoths makes the best sense

I mentioned in another comment section, Utah Yetis is good because its phonetically alliterative without being alphabetically alliterative. Nifty!

take a look at the Columbus Fury. its the new Pro volleyball Federation team in Columbus. check them out if you want to see how they did the branding. I believe its based off the Furies from Greek Mythology which is why i think its geared more for a woman's team.

Instead of venom how about the utah rattlers or the utah mountaineers.

Predators (sabertooth) is also extinct

There was a Arena Football team called the Fury that was based in Detroit

Do we think the Sacramento A's will change name??? 😢

This is dumb. The Nordiques announced their move to Denver in May, 1995 and three months later, in August, they announced their new name and unveiled the logo. The Avs have never looked back. There is zero reason for this to take a year to pick a name and design a logo and uniform.

The Wasatch Mountain Range "You like that I know that?" ... lol that hit me just right. 😆

HC not quite original. The CH in Montreal's logo means Club d'Hockey. Also, if you go back to the start of pro hockey prior to the NHL, multiple teams were HC

How about using The Beehive State to guide the name? How about The Utah Digger Bees. Use silver, black and a little gold or yellow as the jersey colors which matches a digger bee’s colors. Like Vegas AHL silver knights jersey colors.

Utah Hockey Club. Its a club I want to join. Very welcoming.

I like Mammoth. The logo could be some fierce looking angry mammoth head with red eyes. When the team enters ice. They could have a big mammoth head with smoke to imitate dust in a stampede and there would be drum sounds in the background. You would hear really low mammoth growls and when the announcer say: Here is your Utah Mammoth! The mammoth trunk would lift up and steam would shoot out from it. Then the eyes would glow red and you would hear a mammoth scream when the team enters the ice. Team jerseys could be dark brown or bronze or copper color. They could have third jerseys purple like the Jazz has.

Mammoth is already used by the NLL team, and the logo is sick as hell. But it kinda takes away from the uniqueness of the name since it’s already in use. Same with people who want them to be the Utah swarm, Georgia swarm already exists.

The Furies are greek mythological goddesses of vengeance. Also called Erinyens. Personally, I like Mammoths. A Mammoth is a great mascot. It makes a nice stuffed animal for the kids. Manny the merry mammoth.

Should scream Utah: Utah Wasatch Utah Zion Utah Spikes (not Golden Spikes thanks to Vegas) Holder names result in more pressure to come up with an amazing name (unlike the Washington Commanders).

Ready Yeti Set Go!

It has got to be the Utah Raptor, no? After the Utahraptor?

Yetis is probably my favorite. Would prefer "Mammoths" to "Mammoth" but it's a solid second. Everything else is "meh" or worse. I heard "Utah Swarm" as a possibility; that would have been cool. I also would have liked something based on the Bonneville Salt Flats. Maybe not the Speed, but the Speed Demons? I dunno; I feel like there's something there.

I don’t like the Yeti name personally. The Avalanche have used a yeti branding in the past and even though they don’t use it in their branding anymore, it would clash heavily with the new team. I personally like the name Mammoths: it’s intimidating, the colors and logo would be really cool, the mascot can be done pretty simply (go down a Roll Tide-ish route) and it can become synonymous with hockey. Yes I understand that there’s a lacrosse team called the Mammoth in Colorado, but I think there can be two teams named that. If there can be more than one Golden Knight and it can work (UCF), why not two Mammoths?

I like either the swarm, yeti or outlaws

I don't like names that are too vague "like Utah Fury". IMO the Predators and Wild are names that are way too vague

And my other Top 10 (11) names for the Utah hockey team... 1. Freeze 2. Baracudas 3. Merlins 4. Stingers 5. Vampires 6. Comets 7. Americans 8. Invaders 9. Spartans 10. Greyhounds 11. Tic Tacs

Junior Hockey had the Kootenay Ice (Moved to Winnipeg and then to Wenatchee where they're now the Wild). I liked the name Ice. Their uniform color included baby blue and looked very sharp. Their mascot was a Yeti. I prefer the name Yeti for Utah, but Ice is not as bad as you think. Google Kootenay Ice. I bet the Utah jersey will very similar.

I'm unsure what color scheme the Mammoth would be. Maybe Copper/Brown, light blue/blue, and white? The Mammoth logo should have some snow in its fur too!

Utah Yeti matches the Seattle Kraken for both being mysterious mythical creatures Utah Blizzard matches Carolina Hurricanes and Tampa Bay Lightning for being types of storms in weather Utah mammoth matches Nashville Predators for being prehistoric animals Utah Ice matches Calgary Flames by being the exact opposite of each other

Brodie, though many others have also mentioned it, I really like "the Blizzard". If a blizzard can lead to an avalanche, it just naturally leads in to the first true rivalry. I can just envision the Rocky Mountain rivalry. Mammoth sounds good and could work...as does Yeti-although it's a mythical creature. And I keep focusing on Utah as a conservative state. So something realistic and respectful feels proper for them. I would love them to use the color, purple, but realize it's color that can come off as extremely strong and some might actually hate it. But purple and black would be both strong and still have a pretty color. Yetis/Big Foot/Frosty the Snowman...seriously? The Coyotes had a really cool jersey, so let's not toss it so quickly. To give some background, to this day, I still remember/love old "Forum blue and gold"-which was purple and gold for the Kings' first/and forgettable owner! Ya know, you also made an interesting point, for example if a poisonous snake, the colors are usually reds and browns and gold/yellow having a bit in common with the Coyotes jerseys. But mythical creatures...oh, please...the Unicorns? Note: a state known for religion/conservative beliefs, please don't give them a wild west name...at least let the name reflect on the state as outsiders know/respect it. Ya, I stick with blizzard. So, they use an icy blue and white...it does work...at least for me. Let's just get it done. The players are gonna want a quick identity...they are human beings and beginning as the no-names is both undecided as well as means for disrespect from other teams! rl

What's the ninth choice?

My top 12 Names for Utah's hockey team... 1. Yeti 2. Fighting Saints 3. Minotaurs 4. Black Bears 5. Cougars 6. Mustangs 7. Roadrunners 8. Zephyrs 9. Werewolves 10. Renegades 11. Thunderbirds 12. Cheeseburgers

I'm sticking with the Utah Salt Lakers with a Yeti with the likeness of Bron Bron as the mascot. 😁

I like Yetis as its something new and is in a way a tribute to the "Yotes."

Great video! Hoping for a good name for my team!

when the colorado avalanche started playing games in denver in 1995 they had a mascot named howler who was a 7 feet tall & a cross between a big foot like creature & an abominable snowman who they stopped using around 2001. which is why the avs wear a big foot logo on some of their jerseys. so wouldn't a yeti or yetis mascot just be a rip off of howler?

My favorites so far: Utah Yeti, Utah Mamouths, and Utah Black Diamonds

How about the Utah 40 North? (Latitude) Perhaps a compass for their Logo?

I can’t associate Mammoth with Utah, all I can think of is the Mammoth Lakes in the Sierra Nevadas. As for other names, I like Pioneers, Arches, Swarm or Cutthroats. A railroad theme could work as well.

Venom could do purple and green color, and could use one mascot or multiple. Scorpions, spiders, snakes, bees. Imagining a logo with a purple scorpion with green venom dripping off of it's stinger

As a native, I’m all in on the Outlaws. Let’s go!!

I think yetis would be kinda terrible, the avalanche has the big foot branding, so imo that's to close and therefore unoriginal
