Utah’s newest NHL franchise has released its list of twenty team names being considered for its inaugural season in 2024-25.
Fans can vote for up to four of the twenty finalists on their ballot, but are limited to one ballot per person. Voting begins tonight and ends after two weeks on May 22.
The twenty options listed in the survey include:
Utah Black Diamonds, Utah Blast, Utah Blizzard, Utah Canyons, Utah Caribou, Utah Freeze, Utah Frost, Utah Fury, Utah Glaciers, Utah HC, Utah Hive, Utah Ice, Utah Mammoth, Utah Mountaineers, Utah Outlaws, Utah Powder, Utah Squall, Utah Swarm, Utah Venom, and Utah Yeti.
There is a healthy mix of skiing, mountains, winter, and bees among the options.
The team mentioned that there will be a second round of voting, likely consisting of the top vote-getters from the first round.
Additional information released by the team tonight states that regardless of the chosen name, the team will wear uniforms for the 2024-25 season simply featuring the word UTAH on the front. The team’s colors, logo, mascot, and uniforms will be developed over the next year in preparation for their debut in the 2025-26 season.
It was previously announced that the team is working on its new identity with Brooklyn-based design agency Doubleday and Cartwright, who have worked with professional sports teams such as the Brooklyn Nets, Detroit Pistons, Chicago Fire, and LA Dodgers according to their website.
