These are so so so bad

 

[Carbooja]

I picked Outlaws followed by
Blizzard (Jazz synergy)
Swarm
Fury

Outlaws just sounds so bad ass

 

[MMC]

Of these I like Mammoth, Mountaineers, Caribou, Squall, Blizzard, and Venom the best. Hoping it’s one of these

 

[Isles Junkie]

Outlaws, Yeti and Venom are the best.

 

[mr figgles]

I picked Outlaws followed by
Blizzard (Jazz synergy)
Swarm
Fury

Outlaws just sounds so bad ass

would also be jazz synergy

 

[PULSATING]

Yeti or riot

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

These sounds like 1990s IHL names wtf. So corny.

 

[Ignatius]

Utah Direwolf

I'm just glad the owner has committed to using purple as their primary color.

 

[Half Clapper]

I think Outlaws, Fury, and Venom are the three best.

 

[Reaper45]

The State emblem is a Beehive. I’m thinking they go somewhere with Swarm. Outlaws and Venom are cool too.

 

[JKG33]

Outlaws is the only one there that doesn't f***ing suck

 

[StreetHawk]

These are so so so bad

Only 5 end in an (s). Guess we are running low on trademarkable regular team names.

 

[Hrkac Circus]

I don’t get them going with just Utah in the first season. Seems like now to October would be enough time to roll out jerseys but I guess not.

 

[DuckDuckGetz]

Powder has to be the worst name I've ever seen suggested for anything.

I would name my kid Boaty McBoatface before I named them Powder.

 

[Emerica]

Outlaws

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Blizzard!!

Although powder would be funny for cocaine jokes.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

lets all vote for powder

 

[Maple Leaf]

wow they all sound like an expansion team

 

[Riggins]

Powder. How does that even make a list of 20?

 

[La Bamba]

These are so bad that I’d rather they be named Utah HC until they can find an actual name

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Powder has to be the worst name I've ever seen suggested for anything.

I would name my kid Boaty McBoatface before I named them Powder.

 

[mr figgles]

Can we combine the state dinosaur and firearm?

Utahraptor M1911s

Glad Canyons is included, that could be a great identity. Not a meme name, it's something you'd actually be happy to live with over a long haul. The Canyons around the city are such an iconic part of SLC.

But seriously, you're going to be close rivals with the Avalanche. Don't do Blizzard or Powder, it's just too similar to the Avs (also, Powder is just asking for trouble. Cocaine and powderpuff jokes out the Wazoo). I get you have all the ski resorts and it's a major part of the city- but you can hit that with "Canyons".

Also, no "Scorpions" is disappointing.
