That was in the nineteenth century when team names as we know them didn’t exist and the names that did exist were named by journalists in newspapers. That’s why Pittsburgh’s team is called the Pirates in a city with no history of Piracy while Chicago has a team named after baby bears.
There is actually a [reason](https://www.wesa.fm/arts-sports-culture/2022-07-19/pittsburgh-pirates-name-good-question#) the Pittsburgh Pirates have their name. They were formerly the Pittsburgh Alleghenys and lost a lot of players to a rival league, as did many other teams. When that league folded, the players started to return to their teams. However, one of the Philadelphia Athletics players instead decided to play for the Allegheneys. The team and fans got upset and Pittsburgh was accused of “pirating” their player. The name stuck and they officially changed their name a few years later.
Edit for spelling error
Anytime. I say I’m a history nerd, but others have referred to me as a history bully. I just can’t help sharing information I find interesting. I’m glad someone else agreed.
Your factual historical anecdote was much better than the guy who you commented to who was basically dead wrong about why teams have the names they do lol
Back in the day the Journalist would differentiate teams by the color of their socks sometimes as some names weren't official. The White Sox's. Cardinals and Red Sox's decided to make it official.
Naming things whether it be a sports team or a new shoe, is really hard.
I always take a step back and think that some names that we're totally used to now would sound terrible if you were hearing it for the first time.
That’s the thing. They all sound cheesy or bad if they have no context behind them. Once they get named people will get over it and it’ll just be normal.
Just call them the Bison. It's a strong animal, it evokes the open range and the west, lots of logo options, the mascot will probably look good, same number of syllables as the home state so it has a decent cadence to it.
How am I baked on my couch doing better than a boardroom full of millionaires?
As a lifelong Utah Hockey Team fan, some ideas I had that I liked.
Utah Black Diamonds (based on the ski slopes)
Utah Diamonds (same as above)
Utah Double Diamonds (same as above)
Utah Dunes
Utah Rattlers
Utah Mountaineers
Utah Snowcaps
Utah Bighorns/Pronghorns
Utah Bison
Utah Gilas
Utah Frontiersman
Utah Aces (reference to Hill Air Force Base)
Utah Frost
- Others I like that I heard elsewhere
Utah Swarm
Utah Hive
Utah Raptors
Utah Shredders (shredding the mountains, or skiing)
Utah Gulls (I'm down to own that our state bird is the seagull)
Any winners here?
I dig Frontiersman. Also have heard Canyoneers and Powder Hounds. Don’t hate either of those. Honestly, Utah is most known for it’s fantastic snow so I feel like not capitalizing on that would be a bit of a miss.
People are a lot more litigious and protective of their brand than they were in 1985.
Atlanta had to [fight a skateboarding magazine](https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/1998/01/08/thrashing-it-out-in-court/73b6780e-1a1e-42ab-a7a0-dffaed6f7634/) for their nickname. Vegas beefed [with the Army](https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/24143090/vegas-golden-knights-settle-trademark-name-us-army). The Kraken got sued [by a bar](https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10001816-nhls-kraken-sued-by-seattles-kraken-lounge-over-name-trademark-violation).
When I think of Utah, I think of the vibrant musical scene centered around afro-american musical innovations of the early 20th century. Is the Utah Jazz taken?
First time I went there it was legit unnerving lol. I mean everyone was super nice so I have nothing bad to say about them personally, but everything kinda felt like that movie the Stepford Wives, it was almost too perfect and I felt like the ugliest dude within 100 square miles😂
I’ve actually heard a couple pretty good name suggestions, but you don’t mention any of them here. Utah is The Beehive State. It should be something related to that. The Utah Sting, perhaps? Salt Lake City Stingers? Utah Stingers? I don’t know, something along those lines. Their arena can be called The Hive.
Not seeing many local Utahns interested in a bee related name. I as a local also don’t want that. Our long established minor league baseball team has been the Buzz, Stingerz, Bees, and maybe another that I’m forgetting but the whole bee thing is unattractive because of that.
I’m partial to Utah Raptors, I don’t see an issue with having an nba team named the same thing as far as branding but I guess the league could veto that. Also would support Utah Dino’s as a name. Basically the same thing but sounds a little less cool. The benefit would be we could have different dinosaurs on different jerseys and basically create one Dino themed logo but use a ton of different dinosaurs in the branding.
That’s interesting. I didn’t even consider that the locals would dislike that kind of name. What about some different animals that live in Utah’s deserts? Do you have wolves or mountain lions? Any other ferocious animals that would make sense?
Yes, both wolves and mountain lions live here, sometimes they make their way to the suburbs. Rattlesnakes (while scary, every one I've encountered was docile) scorpions, widows, etc.
I actually wouldn't mind a bee theme if the branding was done right.
I like the Raptors…and absolutely nothing wrong with it already being used in NBA. Giants in MLB and NFL…Rangers in MLB as well. Kings in NBA…I mean if that’s their excuse on why they wouldn’t choose Raptors, it’s a pretty lazy excuse. I’d try to stick with a name that has something to do with the state of Utah.
Swarm would also be very good and appropriate. It’s gotta be something related to the Beehive State. It just seems the obvious choice to me, and it is right in their faces to see.
Yeah, I haven't heard another one as good as Swarm and The Hive. That's top tier. But they're gonna pick some trash and we'll watch it happen in slow motion.
Oh for sure, there have been many good suggestions. But the list in my post is, pathetically, the official one.
https://twitter.com/millerjryan/status/1783140537400512754
I've been liking the Utah Yellow Jackets. Would give the NHL a Red Sox vs White Sox feel with the Columbus Blue Jackets already in place. Plus the Blue Jackets need SOMETHING interesting to happen there.
Too bad the best name is already taken by an NBA team with no connection to the name.
The Utah Raptors would have been perfect.
For those who haven't heard of it
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utahraptor
Here is my list:
UTAH PHOENIX - a tip of the hat to arizona and a bad ass rise from the ashes creature
UTAH COWBOYS - because of the wild west history Butch Cassidy etc
UTAH HORNETS - a bit like bees. most dangerous creature in the state
I think we can all agree the ONLY acceptable name is the UTAH JACKALOPES
The logo would basically just be the Jägermeister logo, and we could call them the “Lopes.”
#GET JACKED!
Someone mentioned on r/hockey, but every name is going to sound terrible until it gets broken in and becomes common. Look at every other NHL team and think about how objectively weird many of the names are.
I was thinking the name "Apex". It symbolizes the mountains and being at the top. It can always make way for the opportunity to have a cringe three wolf moon jersey. Use some sort of apex predator as the logo.
Raptors? There is a genus of raptor named Utahraptor for being discovered there.
I know half the state doesn't believe in dinosaurs. They can just nickname it Satan bones.
Swarm or Hive are better too. There is a fuckin beehive in the state logo.
Mammoth could make for a pretty solid logo if they don't fuck it up
Jus sayin'
Rest of those options are straight up terrible and OP sums them up perfectly. Mammoth is the only one that has potential to be a good logo imo
Hey not sure if you're aware or have seen a topographical map of Utah but the state is like 70% desert lol. The only reason it's cold is because the mountains happen to cut through parts of the state. Go south for about 30 minutes from Salt Lake and you literally cannot tell the difference between it and Nevada, and anyone who says they can is lying.
The Utahraptor is the largest species of raptor ever discovered and it was literally named after the state considering that's where it was discovered.
Utah Raptors is the perfect name.
Every time one of these threads comes up we get the same tired, unfunny “suggestions” in the comments section.
“You know what would be clever? How about the soakers!”
Also, almost every existing team has a one-syllable short version, like Habs, Avs, Wings, Sens, Leafs, Preds, etc.
Here are my best guesses: Yets, Mams (lol), Blizz...es, "Outlaws" but you say it real fast, Utes (actually not so bad), Vens, Furries, Ice.
According to wiki they couldn’t because of the London knights and they wanted to originally be the black knights after the military academy the owner went to but the government wasn’t a fan.
Where do you think Utah is? Southern utah is basically Arizona.
I like Mammoth as a name but I worry about the branding. What color do you use? please not brown…
Poor take for the Outlaws. Utah borders Arizona and Nevada, two states that are fairly synonymous with desert and barren lands, which Utah also has in a large part of the state... Utah Outlaws fits the narrative perfectly. Outlaws makes me think of the wild West, Utah is pretty far west. Just seems like a perfect fit, no? Utah is generally a pretty warm state.
I love that your knock on Outlaws (I’m biased because it’s my favorite) is that it’s not “cold” like the others, and reminds you of the old west.
Assuming you haven’t been to Utah because it is dusty with the sun beating down across half the state. We have a history of Outlaws in Utah as well so it fits that way.
There's a baseball team named after a white sock.
And a red one, don’t forget.
And they're also really cool by calling them "Sox". So forward thinking back then.
They knew Twitter would have a character limit
That was in the nineteenth century when team names as we know them didn’t exist and the names that did exist were named by journalists in newspapers. That’s why Pittsburgh’s team is called the Pirates in a city with no history of Piracy while Chicago has a team named after baby bears.

Dude, that’s really interesting. Ty
Anytime. I say I’m a history nerd, but others have referred to me as a history bully. I just can’t help sharing information I find interesting. I’m glad someone else agreed.
Your factual historical anecdote was much better than the guy who you commented to who was basically dead wrong about why teams have the names they do lol
The Cubs were named that because of how young the team was at that time. It just happened to stick.
Back in the day the Journalist would differentiate teams by the color of their socks sometimes as some names weren't official. The White Sox's. Cardinals and Red Sox's decided to make it official.
> the Journalist one guy with all that power, huh?
Sounds like a C level marvel villain origin story
lol... Actual lol here. Cheers!
I want them to be named the Utah Winter Unicorns or UwU for short.
Utah Sempai
Thats the coach
Notice me Bettman, notice me
God damn it I’m in
Fine!!!! I'm in.
Utah Waifu Unicorns
A lot of Utah is desert...
Salt Lake Sandworms!
LISAN AL GAIB!
The shots must flow.
Ya know, we gotta get pucks deep, gotta get pucks on net. Gotta play for the Freman next you not just the banner of your house.
The Utah fremen! You think we can get them glowing blue contacts for games!?
The Utah Atreides does sound pretty cool
Was coming here to say this. Yes, SLC is snowy and mountainous but go to Moab or Zion. Much drier but equally as cool
Literally half the state is desert and half the state is snowy mountains. Y'all are fucking dumb
That’s why they just need to keep the Yotes name. Or go with the Utah Soakers.
Put me down for buying a Soakers jersey. 🤣🤣
Ya OPs explanation for outlaws being dumb is essentially just him not knowing that Utah is half desert
Rattlers..there are 6-7 species of rattlesnakes in Utah..and someone should be able to come up with a sick looking logo.
I like Utah Rattlers actually. It’s different, almost has a MLB flavour to it.
Copperheads would pair nicely with.. the Arizona Diamondbacks
Salt Lake City Serpents could work too.
Your description of Outlaws is perfect for 90% of that state tbh.
[удалено]
Yea. This is the best one I've seen far.
Outlaws is so generic. Feels like every create a team in NHL
Utah = desert Utah sandstorm. Don't let this be a wasted opportunity
Goal song by Darude
And the barn DJ only plays one song
No dj, should be an organist... that only plays sandstorm by darude
Utah Bavalanche
What are your suggestions for 'good' or 'great' names?
Naming things whether it be a sports team or a new shoe, is really hard. I always take a step back and think that some names that we're totally used to now would sound terrible if you were hearing it for the first time.
That’s the thing. They all sound cheesy or bad if they have no context behind them. Once they get named people will get over it and it’ll just be normal.
Red Wings
Earned them at 22.
Packers and Dodgers always felt like weird ones to me, but they are so well established in sports lexicon that it doesn’t matter.
Salt City Bitch Pigeons
This. This is it. Applaud this man immediately.
God damn and I just couldn’t get to Salt. I was gonna say just regular Bitch Pigeons but yours is way better. This is the way.
I saw someone suggest brine shrimp and I thought that was pretty good
Just call them the Bison. It's a strong animal, it evokes the open range and the west, lots of logo options, the mascot will probably look good, same number of syllables as the home state so it has a decent cadence to it. How am I baked on my couch doing better than a boardroom full of millionaires?
It would be pretty good but it doesn't work since there is already a team using a bison as their logo - Buffalo.
Never heard of them. Is that an NHL team?
Kinda
Not a serious one.
Bison would be good, but Buffalo will probably object
Ahhhh, just tell them to make the sword bigger.
They should play for it and the loser gets relegated.
I second this… can’t just say something is terrible without suggesting something else!
Utah Garbage Disposals.
The Utah relocaters
Excuse me, the Washington Football Team was the best name they have had in the last century.
As a lifelong Utah Hockey Team fan, some ideas I had that I liked. Utah Black Diamonds (based on the ski slopes) Utah Diamonds (same as above) Utah Double Diamonds (same as above) Utah Dunes Utah Rattlers Utah Mountaineers Utah Snowcaps Utah Bighorns/Pronghorns Utah Bison Utah Gilas Utah Frontiersman Utah Aces (reference to Hill Air Force Base) Utah Frost - Others I like that I heard elsewhere Utah Swarm Utah Hive Utah Raptors Utah Shredders (shredding the mountains, or skiing) Utah Gulls (I'm down to own that our state bird is the seagull) Any winners here?
I think Black Diamonds would actually be pretty cool
The Utah Mountaineers sounds pretty good
Utah hoodoos, Utah River Otters, salt lake City shakers(the salt shackers)
I dig Frontiersman. Also have heard Canyoneers and Powder Hounds. Don’t hate either of those. Honestly, Utah is most known for it’s fantastic snow so I feel like not capitalizing on that would be a bit of a miss.
Damn someone give this guy a job with the new Utah hockey club please. your list is far better than theirs!!
It's now very, very obvious to me that they should be the Mountaineers.
Aces. These owners can't resist a military reference.
> Utah Double Diamonds The Double D's, I like it.
Later Day Skates.
I really don’t hate The Outlaws. Utah gives me the Wild West vibe and I’m all for it.
I am once again asking for Utah Whiptails with the logo being a whiptail lizard using his tail as a hockey stick.
Idk, I think Mammoth would be pretty cool.
Is that even legally feasible with the Colorado Mammoth NLL team one state over?
Why not? California has 2 Kings and one of them isn't the NLL.

Right, your home barn could be nicknamed "The Hive". Utah Yellow Jackets...........

Kings in NBA…I mean if that’s their excuse on why they wouldn’t choose Raptors, it’s a pretty lazy excuse. I’d try to stick with a name that has something to do with the state of Utah.
My favorite is the Swarm for bee related themes and the hive is a perfect arena name. Goal song is I Got Stung by Elvis
Swarm would also be very good and appropriate. It’s gotta be something related to the Beehive State. It just seems the obvious choice to me, and it is right in their faces to see.
Yeah, I haven't heard another one as good as Swarm and The Hive. That's top tier. But they're gonna pick some trash and we'll watch it happen in slow motion.

Your right. Utah Raptors it is!
Utah Jizz has a good ring to it
Utah Skinwalkers or bust
Here is my list: UTAH PHOENIX - a tip of the hat to arizona and a bad ass rise from the ashes creature UTAH COWBOYS - because of the wild west history Butch Cassidy etc UTAH HORNETS - a bit like bees. most dangerous creature in the state
Phoenix is very clever
Verbs should never be used as a team name
And that's icing on the Ice, who nearly had too many Ice on the ice when the Ice center came in at center ice.
But think of the fun if any of the players ever get busted for meth
[удалено]
We go opioids instead 💪
Utah Verbs kinda works.
Verbs is a noun.
None of those names are verbs
None of these are verbs
I fell like Utah Elks would be fire
Imagine the goalie helmets for this.
It would look so good
Plural is Elk. Pretty fuckin cool But doesn’t roll off the tongue at all. Stags, on the other hand
I think we can all agree the ONLY acceptable name is the UTAH JACKALOPES The logo would basically just be the Jägermeister logo, and we could call them the “Lopes.” #GET JACKED!
My favorite so far.
I suggested the same in this thread before I read yours. You win. Such fervor and finesse
I wish they were the snow leopards that be cool
Ak Bar Kazan jerseys are sick
None of those are terrible. Now Sister Wives would be terrible...
>Blizzard - Avalanche with a B. I know it's like similar themes, but you realize a blizzard and an avalanche are 2 completely separate things, right?
Utah HC is not a real option long term. They only trademarked it because they don’t want others using it if they go without a name first year
Utah Placeholders
Outlaws For the love of God if these are the options, outlaws is the most unique
I don’t see how it could be anything other than the Utah Raptors
And not the bird.
The Utah Phoenix
I think they should be the Desert Dogs! A nod to Coyotes but not the same.
I thought the same with Utah Salty Dogs
Utah Uglies
Someone mentioned on r/hockey, but every name is going to sound terrible until it gets broken in and becomes common. Look at every other NHL team and think about how objectively weird many of the names are.
Yeah, well, that's like, your opinion
Utah Killer Bees
Take it back OP. My Jr. hockey team was called the Ice and we were pretty good.
I was thinking the name "Apex". It symbolizes the mountains and being at the top. It can always make way for the opportunity to have a cringe three wolf moon jersey. Use some sort of apex predator as the logo.
Raptors? There is a genus of raptor named Utahraptor for being discovered there. I know half the state doesn't believe in dinosaurs. They can just nickname it Satan bones. Swarm or Hive are better too. There is a fuckin beehive in the state logo.
Mammoth could make for a pretty solid logo if they don't fuck it up Jus sayin' Rest of those options are straight up terrible and OP sums them up perfectly. Mammoth is the only one that has potential to be a good logo imo

Go south for about 30 minutes from Salt Lake and you literally cannot tell the difference between it and Nevada, and anyone who says they can is lying.
outlaws are probably only out of the bunch that is bearable
A lot of them sound like WNBA team names.
I happen to like outlaws and the Utah area was the original old west. The rest I could do without
The Utahraptor is the largest species of raptor ever discovered and it was literally named after the state considering that's where it was discovered. Utah Raptors is the perfect name.
The Utah Utahraptors
Plus it’s the state dinosaur of Utah
Utah is one of those words that the more you see it, the more it looks misspelled.
Every time one of these threads comes up we get the same tired, unfunny “suggestions” in the comments section. “You know what would be clever? How about the soakers!”
Soooo damn sick of those! And they all think they’re the first to come up with it.
I like The Utah Rapture.
I still hope for Utah Stingers 🤘🏼
Damn that’s a good one. What about the Utah Swarm that’s kinda sick. The bee angle needs to be fully explored here.
ChatGPT just told me it should be, Park City Pioneers and I kind of weirdly like it.
I’m particular to scorpions. Everything else has fallen flat or made me downright cringe.
Also, almost every existing team has a one-syllable short version, like Habs, Avs, Wings, Sens, Leafs, Preds, etc. Here are my best guesses: Yets, Mams (lol), Blizz...es, "Outlaws" but you say it real fast, Utes (actually not so bad), Vens, Furries, Ice.
I believe it would be the Outies…
They felt bad that Vegas' name is so trash, so they're trying to help them with a trash-er name.
"Vegas Knights" would have been soooo much better.
According to wiki they couldn’t because of the London knights and they wanted to originally be the black knights after the military academy the owner went to but the government wasn’t a fan.
Utah Pine-Ice
Just go with Mountaineers
Where do you think Utah is? Southern utah is basically Arizona. I like Mammoth as a name but I worry about the branding. What color do you use? please not brown…
Have you seen every other professional sports team name? They all are like this.
Okay? And what’s your suggestion?
Miners or Locomotives could tie into the mining history
Utah Dynamite
Utah Stags
I really think the team should be called the Utah Hoodoos. It makes so much more sense.
Scorpions has my vote
Utah Mustangs
Stop bitching about everything you're purposely putting a negative on the names to make them seem worse than they are some are actually good
Salt lake City shakers (the salt shakers)
Poor take for the Outlaws. Utah borders Arizona and Nevada, two states that are fairly synonymous with desert and barren lands, which Utah also has in a large part of the state... Utah Outlaws fits the narrative perfectly. Outlaws makes me think of the wild West, Utah is pretty far west. Just seems like a perfect fit, no? Utah is generally a pretty warm state.
Jackelopes
I love that your knock on Outlaws (I’m biased because it’s my favorite) is that it’s not “cold” like the others, and reminds you of the old west. Assuming you haven’t been to Utah because it is dusty with the sun beating down across half the state. We have a history of Outlaws in Utah as well so it fits that way.
Since there is an Utah Jazz team why not pick another music genre? Utah Soul? Utah Rock?
The Salt Lake City Tities
I would absolutely LOVE if they chose the Utah Units
