I disagree, they SHOULD use the purple and teal, and they should use this as a chance to go back to that color scheme

Then what happens when it's out of vogue? They either rebrand or become the Jaguars. Plus, the Ducks own that color scheme in hockey even though they don't wear it anymore.

Utah Yetis is my favorite so far, but I think Eagles or Vipers would be appropriate for the reasons you mentioned as well. I like Raptors too, but I don't think the presence of the Toronto Raptors in the NBA would be a problem anymore than having the New York Giants in the NFL and San Francisco Giants in MLB, or the St. Louis Cardinals in MLB and the Arizona Cardinals in the NFL. (And in both those cases, one of those two teams was previously in the same city as the other.) And no matter what name they go with, they should use the purple and teal colors like the Jazz previously used (unless they use a bees related name, in which case they go with black and yellow, or Eagles, in which case they should do green and yellow).

But that's part of the deal when they took the team. Plus, I think teams should always leave the name behind to avoid issues line the Hornets.

beehive state refers to people working not actual bees. cutthroats is pretty cool. but not seagulls. Yeti is my favorite.

Cutthroats didn't even make the list of names to vote on. It'll probably be Yeti.

If they want to play off the mountains for a name there could be some good options - just don't integrate them into the design of the uniform. It fails more often than it works.
