My oldest brother has been a lifelong Leafs fan for some unknown reason, so I cheer with him for them. Quote It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of a poster from the 90's that had Sakic, Roy and Forsberg superimposed in front of a similar mountain backdrop.

DustDevil61 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I think the only possible clue at this point regarding a color scheme is the Light Blue seen in the generic "UTAH" found on the "UTAH Est. 2024" images. Other than that, and including what Ryan Smith has said, we can expect some level of Purple and/or Light Blue somewhere in the color scheme. That said, I'm eagerly awaiting what comes of it and when. As for the names trademarked so far, it looks to go down to Yetis, Outlaws, and Mammoth. I'll admit, Mammoth is growing on me, as I always thought Mammoth(s)--improper English aside--would be a great name for a hockey team, and a mammoth mascot should be instantly recognizable in the NHL. Plus, there are mammoth fossils within the state. However, if I were a betting man, I'd say Yetis wins out for the reasons discussed in this thread--IMO it's clearly got the momentum at the moment. I don't hate it, and there have been some pretty good concepts out there; hopefully Doubleday and Cartwright can nail the branding and Ryan doesn't try to micromanage things too much like he apparently did with the infamous Jazz redesign. I don't think we'll hear much about the name or colors until after the playoffs finish, though who knows. What does intrigue me is that Ryan Smith mentioned a couple names that haven't yet been trademarked in Black Diamonds and Golden Eagles. I wouldn't be surprised if Chicago or Vegas put the kibosh on either of those, but I wonder if "Utah Ice" could be a way to backdoor something like "Ice Eagles" as a name, as minor league-ish as it may seem. I'm not counting on it, but I could see something like that.

I was just saying that the graphic reminds me of an Avalanche poster I used to own. And that if they go with something like 'Yeti' they'll have to go to extra care to differentiate themselves from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our little height slogan/marker for the town/lake is “6225” (I live above town), and I absolutely would not be shocked if the high school football team did that on their helmet bumpers. 3 Quote On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

Smith has already said it would be 6-8 names in the bracket, and they've trademarked 7 already (Yetis, Blizzard, Outlaws, Venom, Fury, Mammoth, Ice). I don't think Hockey Club is going to be one of the choices, so maybe we get a surprise for the 8th option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz_Matt Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 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 ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
