PlayGloria Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 1 hour ago, Bayne said: Utah Yeti works for me just because of the way the two words compliment each other. It's such a unique combination of letters and they balance nicely. There's a story there and its kind of fun to say. I don't know - it wouldn't necessarily be my first choice (I'd probably go with something a little more traditional sounding), but I'd also be fine if that's what they end up going with. Utah Mammoth is also cool to me. A hockey team being called Mammoth has a lot of great potential. It sounds big and powerful which is synonymous with physical hockey. It's easy to say, 'the Mammoth' and it's also very unique. For me, both of them work so much better as a singular than they do with an s on the end. Mammoths suddenly makes it sound like you have a lisp and its not as clean of a word. Yetis is not as bad, but Yeti is just better in my opinion. The same way that Kraken is better than Krakens. If they are named Yeti and Yeti coolers doesn't become their jersey sponsor, talk about a missed opportunity. 2 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Really we can all thank the 1987 NBA expansion for all this--but that's neither here nor there.) Except Avalanches is an actual word.

After seeing the Utah list, I was thinking the same... Just stick with 'Coyotes'... But I guess the Arizona Coyotes aren't officially dead...They're just hibernating...maybe. 1 Quote *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kachina set had plenty of problems, such as an unclear color hierarchy and a blending of too many dark colors. There’s a good reason why the later redesign was initially liked (before Edge ruined it and people realized the Coyote render looked awful). Cleaning up the Kachina would be a good move for a returning Coyotes team. But we have over 500 pages of a thread detailing why the Coyotes were a bad idea, so let’s just assume they won’t come back. 1 Quote MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Kachina logo was good. The Kachina uniforms, though, especially the road whites, never solved the color problem for TV. I know what the colors are because I've seen photographs and I've seen the jerseys in person, but from the TV angle everything looked like a muddy very dark brown. Also very dependent on lighting to see the colors as they are. People might yell at me, but I loved this. A team in an all dark red is unique to the league, it's Arizonian, and it's got the cactus on the leg for some fun flare and you can get away with a little extra zaniness when the color palette is that subdued. Put the kachina on the front of that. 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like the Avs should have the Yeti name for themselves, they had the awesome yeti footprint on the shoulders....... remember that one? before they replaced with that garbage logo they have now. looks like a curling team logo.

Put the kachina on the front of that. Could have worked. My only pushback is the same as with the Bolts, that newer teams can't just go one-color no matter what the color is. I still liked the alternate they had that matched black sweaters and socks with brick red helmets and breezers. That was a color distribution no one was doing either, and brick/sand/black was a good palette for them.

kolob Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 The problem with "Outlaws" is that it just doesn't FEEL like a Utah name. Outside of Butch Cassidy, the outlaw imagery seems more appropriate for the Southwest (Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma) and Colorado. Not Utah. Then again, neither does Yeti or Mammoth either. Only solution? ICE JAZZ! 2 Quote "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."
