I have zero clue to who Utah is soliciting for its branding and names, but it generally reeks of the same issue sports teams had in the 90's

The fans and names suggested in the first survey asking for suggestions, so likely why it sounds like what happened in the 90's. People with no clue offering their opinions of what sounds cool to them

You have no idea the trauma the Yeti has caused our people

 

 

 

They should make that the logo if/when Yeti wins

This owner has terrible taste in sports names god damn. It's 2024 and this dude is suggesting "Blast" and "Frost"

It's my understanding that these are the top suggestions from his last survey asking what they should name the team if they got one

I voted for Outlaws, Swarm, Mammoth and Venom

I'm a big fan of Mammoths, but unfortunately the trademark is just Mammoth which isn't nearly as good. Outlaws would also be fine but I don't really think it fits Utah. Of the options, Yetis would get my vote.

Outlaws probably "fits" Utah better than the other options (except for Raptors but that's probably not one). However, more appropriate for southern Utah mainly 

Based on comments in posts, it's probably going to be Blizzard with a Yeti mascot or Yeti with Blizzard as the mascot's name ...

I dunno, man. They look pretty damn similar

Fair enough

As generic and non-descript as that graphic is, it still manages to give off Avalanche vibes.  Reminds me of a poster from the 90's that had Sakic, Roy and Forsberg superimposed in front of a similar mountain backdrop.

"All mountains look the same" 

Those are Utah mountains, though both states have mountains in the Rocky range, they're not the same 

I haven't seen any "iconic" or non "bush/minor league" names suggested by the people dumping on the rumored options either

Regarding the Guardian caps, is there any advantage / disadvantage to making your head extra huge? Like a DL taking up more space when trying to fill holes? Or a RB grazing a defenders shoulders due to the cap and losing balance or being otherwise affected?

Kansas City receivers will be further off sides and Mahomes will have even more toddler tantrums about it

I feel like the name is going to kind of dictate the colors, you can't really go with Yeti(s) and use tan, brown, etc.

This one says Blizzard for the name but has Yeti logos, Y's on the shoulder and Yeti as the N.O.B...  maybe swap purple with the dark blue 

I'm pretty sure they used that same blue color in the nba all-star logos when Utah hosted in 2023

I really like Outlaws and could see something like these working, even like the colors for Utah's team 

Could use the name"black diamonds" but use a diamondback rattlesnake as the logo 

Don't really love any of those names.  Would rather go with Rattlers, Outlaws or Grizzlies

I like the alternate bull logo on the H-town jerseys better than the primary bull logo

Utah Rattlers has kinda grown on me. 

Let's just call them the Diamondbacks, use purple, turquoise/light blue and copper. Take all the things Arizona from them in one shot

I’m not sure if I’d make this switch if it was up to me, but it makes the design feel a bit fresher. Then again, I’m 32 and navy blue is really all I remember the Broncos wearing besides the odd throwback here or there.

 

 

All I see with that lighter blue is Boise State

I feel like the sleeve designs of the first Broncos leaks we saw, with multiple peaks, would have looked better and easier to tell they're mountains. Also, the colors being the same on the sleeves  of all the jerseys (orange sunset sky, white snowy peaks and the blue as shadows/ridge lines) would be best as has already been pointed out 

I really liked Vegas' red reverse retro sweater with their secondary logo on the chest. Promote that one to full time rotation in place of the gold one

There’s a fan event tomorrow at the arena. I’m doubting they announce colors or anything but that would be nice. Introducing the players and coach and stuff like that. 

I wouldn't be surprised if they have something and merchandise to sell, seems like a missed opportunity to not capitalize on the excitement and event without something 

New, blue, Lions helmet 

Not surprised that Fanatics screwed up and let things out before they're officially released. Has happened numerous times over the years.

I kind of get a Titans vibe (intentional or not) from that H* helmet, perhaps the colors and star combo 

I kind of like Venom...but almost immediately think of the energy drink. Something along the lines of their marketing could work
