The mountain scene on the paw could use some simplification but that's the only nitpick I have. I had to do a double take to see if that was a copper but it’s just orange. Still looks nice with a dark purple, light blue and orange/copper. I still kinda want Outlaws but it seems Yeti is the most popular choice.

adsarebad Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 14 hours ago, kolob said: No, that makes sense. But, I guess what I’m trying to say is — historically speaking “outlaws” wouldn’t be one the first things that come to mind for Utah compared to the states I referenced. The imagery of the west was won in this lawless — sheriff vs. outlaws — kind of way doesn’t really fit Utah in general when you understand how orderly most settlements were established (most were missions under the direction of Brigham Young). Agree 100% Outlaws do not fit. Utah Doorbellringers would be nice........ The Utah Gotwives is not too shabby either, for that historical touch. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish it was purple because of the over abundance of blue clad teams in the league. But, I can live with the light blue. And, I don’t think this official marries the team to the color in the future (hopefully)? Ryan Smith has mentioned how popular purple is with the market, so I'd be very surprised if it isn't part of the permanent brand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash61 Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 It's a shame that the best Yeti logo has already been used. Those colours look awfully familiar, though... 6 Quote On September 20, 2012 at 0:50 AM, 'CS85 said: It's like watching the hellish undead creakily shuffling their way out of the flames of a liposuction clinic dumpster fire.

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

Foxxtrot44 Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 All of the trademarked logos have been released.

spartacat_12 Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 The article mentions that we won't be getting an announcement on the name before the season, which doesn't make any sense to me. Obviously logos & uniforms need leadup time to be ready, but they've already narrowed down the names to 4 options, all of which have been trademarked. Why not give the fans something to attach themselves to in the first season? As far as the logos go, these are about the best we were going to get from placeholders. The UTAH wordmark in the northwestern stripe is interesting. I wonder if they'd use that across the chest like the Red Wings throwback/reverse retro. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So...you haven't heard of the 'Yeti Outlaws'?... The Ballad of the Yeti Outlaws Generations ago...when humans began To encroach on ancient YETI land, These MOUNTAINEERS of MAMMOTH size, SWARMed from their GLACIER CANYON HIVES. Through the FROSTy cover, of BLIZZARDS and SQUALLS, They fought to save their sacred halls. Racing down, BLACK DIAMOND-esque slopes On boards of ICE, they carried the hopes Of putting a FREEZE on man's intentions, With some YETI interventions. They even enlisted the CARIBOU As rides, in a cavalry unit or two. But alas, they incurred the settlers' FURY. Deemed OUTLAWS by a VENOMous jury, And faced with man's black-POWDER guns, The YETI OUTLAWS had to run. Escaping through a hidden nexus, They ended up in Austin, Texas, And started making coolers. Some say, It's the popular YETI brand of today! This ballad of YETI OUTLAWS fame, Used 18 Utah H.C. names. Whoop! There's 19! It's been a BLAST! 20!... BOOM!!! 1 1 1 Quote *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m really hoping that’s what they do with the sweaters. I think that could actually end up looking okay, all placeholder things considered. I didn’t mind the more modern take of that style that team USA wore at the 2022 Olympics, and would be fine with something close: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmac Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Yeah, if the sweaters are just going to have "UTAH" on the front, adding some kind of chest stripe would be a good way to spruce it up a bit. 3 Quote https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they should go the Minnesota Wild route. Make a logo that signifies their name, but also represents something simple and obvious when seen from afar. And yet ties into the name. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could get behind that, and if the finalists are Yeti, Mammoth, Blizzard and Outlaws — 3/4 or 2/4 of those could or should use that treatment. 1 Quote "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

Hide contents https://thehockeynews.com/news/opinion-utah-has-a-clear-choice-for-its-nhl-team-name Yeah at this point I think it's a foregone conclusion that it's going to end up being Yeti. If they are officially known as UHC for the first season I could picture fans starting "let's go Yeti(s)" chants at games. The Jazz just unveiled new uniforms (ironically 2 of them are also not going to be worn until 25-26), and it wouldn't surprise me if the hockey team's permanent colour scheme ends up being similar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t remember where - it may have been on The Pat McAfee Show - but Ryan Smith said something along the lines of wanting the color schemes to be “related” without being the exact same (like Pittsburgh teams). I’d be curious to see if the sky blue in the Jazz rebrand is the same one on the suspected Utah HC placeholders; from an eye test, I think it could be. My best guess is that the blue and black will be the same, but the differentiator will be that the Jazz have purple and the (likely Yeti) NHL team will not.
