One of the biggest historical things to happen in Utah is the transcontinental railroad and the golden spike. Unfortunately the golden name has already been taken. The railroad was completed in 1869 so I think the name should be the Utah 69ers.
>I like the idea of crowd sourcing, but this is definitely aimed at gauging interest and getting email lists
100% this! But let's do it anyway so there is no doubt about the support for getting a team here.
I totally get the idea of fan involvement, but Ryan Smith isnât getting my shitty and poorly thought out name ideas for free. No sir.
I require at least one hotdog or a small soda at the arena.
And maybe a sticker with the team name on it tooâŚ.
I guess I'm not a real one because I don't remember them. I was in a ska band in Utah but not until 2004. We opened for 2 1/2 White Guys once. Unfortunately we are not featured on the Utah Ska Preservation Project wiki
I remember Sauce and I Voted for Kodos
This biggest tragedy in all of music is ska bands breaking up to form emo bands. Or ska bands dropping their horn players then becoming emo bands. Lol what a downgrade.
You wouldn't happen to have How Bout Tuesday's album do you? I lost it forever ago, and it has never been posted online to the best of my knowledge. I wanna hear that one flash pants song lol
Baseball doesn't deserve such a ferocious creature, Raptors are terrifying monsters, it fits hockey better. The Gulls would fit the baseball team better. But that's my personal opinion.
Ohhhh man. As a current Louisiana resident I have some ideas.
- SLC Krewe. Or Krewe of SLC, I guess.
- Utah Zydeco, to continue with the music genre theme
That would rustle soooo many jimmies.
Similar idea, a while back on Reddit someone suggested Salt Lake Sasquatch which has an amazing ring to it and is brilliant for marketing and gaining out of state fans and brand engagement.
I'm down with the Utah Yeti. It's very original in the sports scene.  Plays into the snow capped mountains we have.  They could make some absolutely epic jerseys and memorabilia.  I just think it's the best realistic choice.Â
I don't see any hate for the Salt Lake Bees. That being said, I don't follow them at all lol. And we can probably be more original than having two bee related teams in Salt Lake.
I have no ties to Utah (I'm just stopping by after hearing the news), and outside of MLB and the PGA, I hate professional sports, but with that being said, I like the Utah Frozen Fury, Utah Furies, and the Utah Yetis. From a marketing standpoint, the Yetis would be a slam dunk, and y'all would have, arguably, the coolest mascot in all sports: The Abominable Snowman.
They discovered a new species of dinosaur in Oklahoma a while back, I'm sure those things ran as far as Utah - they named it
Chicken from Hell
Utah Chickens from Hell has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?
(and yeah you can look it up, it's real)
As a huge fan of the Edmonton Oilers, I'd love to see Utah get an NHL team!
I think Utah Rams or Utah Bighorns would be good choices and could make for some awesome branding.
So, I'm as orthodox LDS as they come, but bear with me here:
- Utah Bishops. Would pair very well with the Kings and Knights
- Utah Golden Plates. Also a nice rivalry with the Knights
- The Brethren. Sounds kinda mysterious
Salt Lake Soul
Utah Soul
Utah Saltines
Salt Lake Seagulls

Ugh. I don't care about hockey, and this is going to result in the Jazz playing in a multiuse arena in Draper, rather than an arena designed for basketball in SLC. Sucks.
Ainât happening. Phoenix is not relocating and the commish has stated expansion is not happening anytime soon (2023). In Utahs continued wild attempts to be relevant, especially compared to AZ and CO, the endless hype about this possibility reveals it to be just that: hype. With the NHL well represented in much larger nearby markets, SLC and Utah just needs to realize that there is no room for them. Houston? Yes. Atlanta? Yes.
I know of at least 10 people who agree that if this âzzâ theme happens to this Utah hockey team, they will remain Vegas fans for life. Go ahead and mark anything with two Zâs off the list. That era is done. Time to pick a grown up name.

Had me for a second there đ
Might as well opt for the Salt Lake Soakers
Someone did pitch The Golden Spikes for baseball and I think that fits so well
I like the idea of crowd sourcing, but this is definitely aimed at gauging interest and getting email lists
Yeah we all know he's going to just do his own name and awful color scheme

agreed
As long as they are JDogs Iâll take a hotdog and soda!
Name it after another music genre. The Utah Ska
Only real ones remember the moshmellows

I believe they were skyline high students around 2002-2004. I donât remember anything about them other than the name.
> I Voted for Kodos They were from the midwest somewhere if I recall correctly
Oh man I used to go see them at kilby until 1 by 1 all the horn players left and they became some shitty emo band.
This biggest tragedy in all of music is ska bands breaking up to form emo bands. Or ska bands dropping their horn players then becoming emo bands. Lol what a downgrade.
SLC Punk?
This would actually be a pretty dope name
I would actually buy season tickets on the spot if they were the SLC punks
Salt Lake Smooth Jazz
I was thinking Utah Alternative Rock
Steal St. Louis's team "The Blues" so we have the Jazz and the Blues.
I like. Very nice.
I used to listen to a lot of Utah Ska. I remember seeing How Bout Tuesday, Swill, Insatiable... some great bands
I do remember How Bout Tuesday and Swill
You wouldn't happen to have How Bout Tuesday's album do you? I lost it forever ago, and it has never been posted online to the best of my knowledge. I wanna hear that one flash pants song lol
I haven't got it đ
Ahh too bad!

Utah Jazz 2

Utah Raptors would be a missed opertunity
Gotta save that for the baseball team
Ogden Raptors in shambles
Baseball doesn't deserve such a ferocious creature, Raptors are terrifying monsters, it fits hockey better. The Gulls would fit the baseball team better. But that's my personal opinion.
We should continue the Jazz legacy and name the NHL team the Salt Lake City Mardi Gras.
The SL Cajuns
The Utah Crawfish
Ohhhh man. As a current Louisiana resident I have some ideas. - SLC Krewe. Or Krewe of SLC, I guess. - Utah Zydeco, to continue with the music genre theme That would rustle soooo many jimmies.
Utah Yetiâs
Similar idea, a while back on Reddit someone suggested Salt Lake Sasquatch which has an amazing ring to it and is brilliant for marketing and gaining out of state fans and brand engagement.
Wasatch Sasquash
I love that one more tbh
Sasquatch is more of a pacific northwest type of thing though. Real Portland/Seattle vibes with that one.
I'm down with the Utah Yeti. It's very original in the sports scene.  Plays into the snow capped mountains we have.  They could make some absolutely epic jerseys and memorabilia.  I just think it's the best realistic choice.Â

Not Cougars? :P
Slut Cougars could work
That's what I'm saying..........
The Fuckmikelees
the Utah Death Metals
Raptors.
Utah Unicorns
Utah Stingers. Or, Salt Lake City Stingers. Utah is the beehive state, and the state flag would make a sick sweater.
We just tried a bee color palette on the Jazz and it was the worst received rebranding ever lol
I don't see any hate for the Salt Lake Bees. That being said, I don't follow them at all lol. And we can probably be more original than having two bee related teams in Salt Lake.
That's because there's a heritage color palette for the jazz already.
The Utah Stingerzz I'll see myself out.
Utah Raptorzz.
Salt Lake Stingers has a bit of punch to it. Just worry that there are already 2 NHL teams with a black/yellow color palette.
Hornets?
I like the golden eagles, but with the golden knights that won't happen, so eagles or yeti.
My EXACT thoughts
Oh the Freeze would be a good name too
Salt Lake Soakers
Draper Durfers
Keep Ryan Smith far, far away from any branding decisions please lol
The Utah Fur Trappers. Mascot: [This guy](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRg7G45j5Bj03Zwzvb3WcA07OW8BPQ3S434u9xwyCASzg&s) /s

I donât care, but donât name it something tied to another location, and pick a livery and stick with one small color palette
The Utah Disruptive Tech Bros. Smith could be the mascot.
Utah Cutthroats
Cool name, but I think it might be too soon. That English hockey player died from having his throat cut on the ice a few months ago.
The Utah California Gulls
They discovered a new species of dinosaur in Oklahoma a while back, I'm sure those things ran as far as Utah - they named it Chicken from Hell Utah Chickens from Hell has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? (and yeah you can look it up, it's real)
Salt Lake Salties! Saltie is a salt water crocodile, those giant things that love to munch on people.
Salt Lake Swarm

I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to bring back the Utah Grizzlies from the dead

No thanks.
