Both vast improvements.

Agreed fully. The fact that these are even mentioned are concerning lol.

I don't feel like Utah allows for many names to roll off the tongue. Salt Lake would,

It's honestly flabbergasting to me how quickly these stadiums become 'obsolete'.

Of the bunch, Blizzard and Yetis are the best ones, and that's not good.

Hopefully it's a massive bracket/tournament and not just 8 stupid names.

I like the concept of it (I'm a bigfoot believer), but I dunno....I can't get behind it as a pro sports team name.

I loved the blue and gold alts they had a while back. I would have loved a full set.

Agreed. All so cheesy.

They might just slap this bad boy on the front for year one.

Pardon my lack of knowledge, but what's wrong with Soldier Field? Doesn't it have historical significance? I know it's old as dirt, but so is Lambeau, Wrigley, Fenway, and half the stadiums in college. If it's just a matter of modernization, couldn't some renos be done and save say, $4 billion dollars?

That looks EXTREMELY Chicago Bulls.

I think it sounds better plural.

Agreed. Fury is soooo bush league.

Agreed fully. That's kind of why I believe that Jazz actually works well. It's a nice alliteration and if you think beyond the 'UTAH ISN'T KNOWN FOR JAZZ!!!!!!!!!!" sentiment, I feel it almost describes more of the flowing, upbeat movement of the game of basketball. I feel Stingers could work (although it would sound waaaaay better with Salt Lake/City in front of it). Rattlers (there are 6 species of venomous rattlesnakes in Utah), Sidewinders (also a venomous snake native to Utah) I feel could hold some weight.

Utah is a weird/hard location to really nail down an identity. It invokes 'cold, snow covered mountain' thoughts, but in reality, the vast majority of it is rugged desert terrain. So, even though a wild-west/desert animal nickname would be realistic, it doesn't actually fit well, because no one thinks that way.

Referencing an other sport entirely lol....why not the Utah Slam Dunkers, Utah 3rd basemen or Utah Pickleballers?

Must be just me then. My brain instantly goes to casino/vegas/gambling lol.

I understand the whole concept of Black Diamonds, but I feel it instantly invokes a gambling/cards/Vegas vibe, no?

That would turn into a cross-stateline war with massive slingshots. Utahns would launch their extra wives and copies of the Book of Mormon. Arizonians would fire cacti and cans of Four Loko. It would be assured mutual destruction.

OK maybe not everyone lol.

Utah Rattlers has kinda grown on me.
