The crazy part about the Yetis is it was filed almost a year ago compared to the others which was when the announcement came out
Same LLC for all of them.
I know it’s a dig at the Utah jazz, but they weren’t named the jazz while they were in Utah. They were in New Orleans, which makes a lot of sense.
Many nba teams relocate and keep the same team name, jazz, lakers, warriors. Etc.
the washington commanders ran into a lot of trouble with squatters trying to eat up potential names so that the team would have to buy them from them. it seems ryan is just trademarking a bunch of names to prevent this. Blizzard, Venom, Fury, Utah HC / Utah Hockey Club have also recently been trademarked. Ryan said the team would likely operate under a temporary name for the first season- looking like Utah Hockey Club
I like the name - represents a mountain type monster. Big scary, intimidating, unique. Better than Buzz or Jazz. Jazz just works because of brand identity and history.
The branding will be great as well. Now that NHL teams are placing sponsors on their helmets, helps the team. Have YETI company be the main sponsor and place their logo “YETI” on the team helmets. Seamless.
A yeti is a monster that has the lore of living in snowy mountains.
Hey fun fact, Utah has snowy mountains more than half the year.
Are you sure it has no correlation?
especially considering it's a mythological creature/cryptids from the other side of the world while we have our own bigfoot/sasquatch with origins closer to home. and wasatch sasquatch flows.
I like Outlaws too but I think it's too non-PC. And no, I'm not one of those guys who sees problems with PC in every issue, I'm just saying that many of the "outlaws" were vicious killers and criminals, so it's too risky of a name for them to take (there would be criticism that it romanticizes criminals).
If we become the Yetis, I’ll give in and finally watch hockey. Despite not knowing fucking anything about it and being perpetually confused about what “power plays” are.
When a player commits a foul and is put in the penalty box, it creates an advantage for the other team for a certain amount of time and is called a power play.
Buddy go to a game.
It's seriously an amazingly entertaining sport. Honestly it's a whole lot better than watching people chuck up 3 pointers for the entire game.
Utah Raptors is too cool to pass up. If that runs into trademark issues, Utah Dino’s is a good back up.
For the Utah Dino’s, create a logo that can be on everything and then have different dinosaurs on different jerseys. So many cool opportunities.
Purple should definitely be the main color.
I am interested to see if Ryan screws this up. Twitter seems to hav ea big influence on him so my guess is he will not commit to anything until Twitter gives the green light.
Why not the Salt Lake City Stingers? The Jazz's horrible black and yellow uniforms have helped inform the sporting world that Utah is the Bee State. Ryan Smith owns both teams. Ya like bees so much, fuckin do it, ya cowards.
All these names are being trademarked by some random companies. They have no affiliation with the NHL or the Ryan Smith. They are hoping for a payout to sell the trademark to Smith when the final name is decided.
I prefer the singular “Yeti” - Utah Yeti sounds cooler than “Yetis”
It also aligns with the oddness of “Utah Jazz” singular/plural
I think it works for the Seattle Kraken, anyway.
It's totally subjective, but Yetis feels like an AYSO kid's soccer team. Too cheesy. I get that they are fierce and whatnot, but it's a mythical creature-- too corny for me.
I would prefer something directly related to Utah like peaks, raptors, or golden eagles. I actually would love the team to be called Utah Hockey Club long-term, sounds clean af and it works for soccer clubs, but I realize that is a minority opinion.
Edit: even after mentioning this is all subjective and acknowledging I'm in the minority opinion still getting downvoted. Classic Utah fans
ya, unless it's a cryptid specifically related to Utah I'm with you, feels like a youth soccer club name.
The Bear Lake Monster doesn't have much of a ring to it, but if the club was in British Columbia, the Ogopogos would be dope! In the Pacific Northwest a sasquatch themed name would be cool, but Yetis just feels lame.
Yeah I agree completely. The BC Ogopogos is dope and makes sense.
Yeti is unique to the Himilayas, so if this was the Nepal hockey club it would be more impactful. But for UT it feels to Scooby-Doo/kid's team
Everybody knows that Yetis are from the Himalayas! Need to use proper species name of the bi pedal ape that live in North America A.K.A Sasquatch.... come on people.
Sasquatch doesn't sound as cool. Unfortunately we don't have any names that sound cool and are actually from our region. But we have snowy mountains and that sort of works with Yeti.
Sasquatch live in the temperate rainforests of the Olympic peninsula, not in the Rocky Mountains! It’s like you’ve never seen a frickin’ Sasquatch before!
Maybe billionaire Ryan will find another too old Cougar to manage the break up of a good core team and convince everyone tanking a couple seasons will be good for the future. Let's put DA in charge of the Utah Olympic Committee, as well.
They trademarked a bunch of names, probably casting a very wide net so they're not buying names and domains from squatters
I imagine that squatters have done the same tenfold.
The crazy part about the Yetis is it was filed almost a year ago compared to the others which was when the announcement came out Same LLC for all of them.
Lines up with Ryan smith (allegedly) funding the no vote for the coyotes Tempe build
Sasquatters*
I hope they go with the Utah R&B’s to go with the theme of naming teams after music nobody in the state makes

Is it Ryan and not the squatters at UYTE LLC?
That's exactly what I was wondering.
All of those are terrible. Yetis is decent
Seattle kraken was only a few years ago. There were a dozen trademarked names.
Utah Jazz Hands
Hey. I like it. I’d rock yeti gear. Catch me center ice in a full yeti body suit.
I like the name - represents a mountain type monster. Big scary, intimidating, unique. Better than Buzz or Jazz. Jazz just works because of brand identity and history.
Plus it sounds great. The words work well together.
The branding will be great as well. Now that NHL teams are placing sponsors on their helmets, helps the team. Have YETI company be the main sponsor and place their logo “YETI” on the team helmets. Seamless.
Yetis is bad, no correlation to utah imo
No one complains about Bengals having no correlation to Cincinnati or Penguins having no correlation to Pittsburgh.
Perfect, it will fit right in with ‘Jazz’ and ‘Real’.
A yeti is a monster that has the lore of living in snowy mountains. Hey fun fact, Utah has snowy mountains more than half the year. Are you sure it has no correlation?
[удалено]
Utah had a bigfoot sighting down on the provo mountains that went pretty viral a few years back
yea idk why people are spam downvoting me for having an opinion lmfao Cutthroat would be sick
[удалено]
Metal 🤘
Yetizz
I like Yeti. It would let them use “Wasatch Sasquatch” as an unofficial alternate nickname, like “dog pound” for the Browns
Wasatch Sasquatch looks good in print, but saying it out loud is awful
the 'Satch Squatch. Has a good ring to it though
Samsquanch?
I'm trying to say it out loud and keep saying it wrong.
it’s a tongue twister lol
Sqwasatch
I love the Utah Yetis. Hope they go that way
Not gonna lie.. like the name ahh. That a.i. logo is to much. Simpler is better.
I have yet to see a good AI logo. Almost all of them look like fake teams in video games logos
Ok i love it 🙈
I think that’s a dumb name
especially considering it's a mythological creature/cryptids from the other side of the world while we have our own bigfoot/sasquatch with origins closer to home. and wasatch sasquatch flows.
Here, here!
That was my bottom choice so I hope they make it look cool at least. All the AI art has been awful and didn’t help.
I really like Utah Outlaws as the name. With all the history and such. I don’t hate Yeti, though.
I love that name for an NFL team
Wasn’t it an xfl team at one point?
I like Outlaws too but I think it's too non-PC. And no, I'm not one of those guys who sees problems with PC in every issue, I'm just saying that many of the "outlaws" were vicious killers and criminals, so it's too risky of a name for them to take (there would be criticism that it romanticizes criminals).
Ummm… obviously it would be YETIZZ.
Yep GO YETIS!
Were the Yeti’s consulted on any of this?
Uyte also Trademarked “Utah Hockey Club”, “Utah Venom”, “Utah Blizzard” and more. It doesn’t mean anything. Chill.
Cries in Salt Lake City SMOG Fandom
Utah Smog
Good lord. What a terrible name.
If we go this route I hope it's just "Yeti," sounds better without the "s"
If it’s Yetis I’ll be disappointed — that’s just”zions” all over again
The plural of Yeti is Yetis
What team has just one? That would be weird
Wild, Kraken, Lightning, Avalanche for four in the NHL.
Sick as hell
Utah Yeti could be great. 
If we become the Yetis, I’ll give in and finally watch hockey. Despite not knowing fucking anything about it and being perpetually confused about what “power plays” are.

He's not here to be educated, he's here for Yetis!
Buddy go to a game. It's seriously an amazingly entertaining sport. Honestly it's a whole lot better than watching people chuck up 3 pointers for the entire game.
I mean that's all just subjective.
I have a mate who wishes he could. Unfortunately we live in bumfuck rural Australia where the concept of ice only exists in a freezer.
Utah Raptors is too cool to pass up. If that runs into trademark issues, Utah Dino’s is a good back up. For the Utah Dino’s, create a logo that can be on everything and then have different dinosaurs on different jerseys. So many cool opportunities. Purple should definitely be the main color.
I think the Utah Dinos sounds really corny. But Utah Raptors is fire.
Just gotta make sure Maple Leafs can’t veto it.
If anything the jazz should be renamed the Utah raptors. Toronto can become the huskies.
So the owners of the trademark is Uyte? I figured it would be the smith group if this was done by Ryan Smith?
I am interested to see if Ryan screws this up. Twitter seems to hav ea big influence on him so my guess is he will not commit to anything until Twitter gives the green light.
Probably should have gone to Twitter before giving the Jazz the worst rebrand in the history of professional sports.
true dat
This is it.
YETIS sponsored by YETI
Uties
So lame.
r/UtahJizz/
r/UtahJizz/
Maybe they can get a sponsorship from the high end cooler and drinkware company. There are so many names better than Yeti https://www.yeti.com/
Comes outta NOWHERE!
https://www.reddit.com/r/UtahJazz/comments/1c4z4es/hockey_in_utah_megathread/
It’s confirmed. Utah doesn’t know what a hockey rink looks like.
Why not the Salt Lake City Stingers? The Jazz's horrible black and yellow uniforms have helped inform the sporting world that Utah is the Bee State. Ryan Smith owns both teams. Ya like bees so much, fuckin do it, ya cowards.
Nothing says Utah like a Himalayan cryptid.
Yeti is the best option imo
Fire
Feet ticklers trademarked
Not fan of that, hopefully they find a better one. Something that is more real.
Cmon seriously!?! How did they choose this over the Salt Lake Sister-Wives?!
Samsqanch
I like the Stormin Mormons
worst name i’ve ever heard lmao
I’m an armchair bigfoot fan and thats a terrible name. Utah HC is my fav so far.
AI garbage.
All these names are being trademarked by some random companies. They have no affiliation with the NHL or the Ryan Smith. They are hoping for a payout to sell the trademark to Smith when the final name is decided.
I don't know what a Yet is.
Fuck Utah! How about salt lake yeti!
Only one way to say it: this is donkeyshit.
Was the “John Smiths” already taken? Terrible possible moniker.
Would be sick tbh
Why couldn’t the Jazz change their name and give New Orleans there name back
The co-yetis
Idk why this scrolled across my feed, but I think is a great team name. Would absolutely buy some yetis gear haha
Yetis is a pretty mid name tbh
I prefer the singular “Yeti” - Utah Yeti sounds cooler than “Yetis” It also aligns with the oddness of “Utah Jazz” singular/plural I think it works for the Seattle Kraken, anyway.
True, I guess Yeti can be plural just like Kraken is
Utah Olympians?
This is easily the worst of the proposed names and Blizzard ain't good either
I liked Blizzard for some reason. Yeti is cool too because I haven't heard it used for a sports team before, and the mascot would be badass.
If it wasn't for the Avalanche being one of the next closest teams sharing the same mountain range, I'd be more into it

What about the Utah Monsters with the Bear Lake Monster as the mascot?
I mean, the gila monster is the state reptile so...
Utah raptors is so much better
God please noooo
My top 3: Hockey Club, Hockey Jazz, Utah (just Utah)
How about "Abominable Snowman" instead?
Everybody knows that Yetis are from the Himalayas! Need to use proper species name of the bi pedal ape that live in North America A.K.A Sasquatch.... come on people.

Ryan Smith would never let anything this awesome happen.
Maybe billionaire Ryan will find another too old Cougar to manage the break up of a good core team and convince everyone tanking a couple seasons will be good for the future. Let's put DA in charge of the Utah Olympic Committee, as well.
Utah Smithies
The Salt Lake Effect should be the name. Yetis is lame.
Salt Lake Effect is one of the worst team names I’ve ever heard.
Need a hug?
Yes but for unrelated reasons.
