Just pick a damn name.
re: Letting public pick.
I'd have to think the following actually happened.
Owner says: I like this nameX and that nameY.
AdAgency says: We agree, that nameX and that nameY are really good.
Owner says: What do we do?
AA says: We will do small survey and see what small-sample of fans like.
...
AA comes back: They all like NameX and NameY.
Owner says: Where do we go from here?
AA says: Post it publicly - but sort of a mid-range website, let fans "choose" - we have good confidence they'll also choose NameX and NameY.
Owner says: Let's do it.
I don't think Utah is going "surprise"-y here.
I think it's going to be Ice, Yeti, or Blizzard. Something hockey-cold.
Meh. That's fine for me.
Shit... I mean Toronto went with Raptors on the heels of Jurassic Park.
These AA companies know what's up.
All that said - I'm rooting for a John Scott coo.
So, no name for first season..? I wonder what they'll be called the first season and how well it will stick. Utah John Does does sound decent.
"Survey names for Utah's NHL team
"
Black Diamonds Blast Blizzard Canyons Caribou Freeze Frost Fury Glaciers Hive Ice Mammoth Mountaineers Outlaws Powder Squall Swarm Utah HC Venom Yeti
The names considered, I believe.
Think I like Mammoth. Both fun, good sounding and a bit stupid.
these are all bad. there's only a couple with an "s" and really the only good one is Outlaws, which isnt great. Yeti"s" maybe

Gonna be hive. It's too perfect with the commonality with the Utah tradition and the nature of hockey being such a team sport.
My money is on hive.

They missed out on Buzz... the Utah Buzz...
Its the perfect transitional name from Arizona
Arizona was a minor league team like the like the Buzz start out in the movie - Major League back to the Minors.
But the coach makes them into a legit team that beats their Major League team.

The Hive can be the arena nickname. Swarm is fine. I was previously all onboard with Yetis, but I read somewhere that it crosses with the Avs and the bigfoot print.
Go with Utah Salt Licks, lol!

you do realize quality of a team name is based on individual's opinion right? you put 10 people in the room and give them 20 names chances are everybody picks different...i personally think Outlaws would be horrible name ...
if they get public to decide it will be majority vote and i would imagine it will be round voting and not just one time...
Personally i dont think it matters what name they have, what will matter is how quick this team can become relevant because i think they got lots of good pieces and if they can add payroll they could be playoff team as soon as next year...

I think they’d be better off being called Utah Swarm then making their arena the Hive instead of being Utah Hive (which doesn’t really sound great to me).
Some of the names are pretty awful.
Outlaws better then most, I just don’t know the reason behind it?
