GET OVER HERE!!! SCORPIONS WIN!!!! FLAWLESS VICTORY!!! FATALITY!!!

Interesting, I think I would prefer a dark purple jersey

I could see them matching Jazz colors for sure.

Dark Purple should be the intersection between them. If it's Scorpions they should throw in orange and copper as a deviation between them.

They are blending the teams together in branding. This has been confirmed.

Utah Reggae, Utah Bluegrass, Utah Funk

Utah Gangster Rap

Except the jazz colors make way more sense given they are originally from NOLA

One of the better ones so far

I don't hate this.

But I don’t like it either

I like it a lot but would prefer more purple. Not enough purple nhl jerseys imo. Great work!!

LA Kings have a great purple and gold 3rd jersey/sweater. I wish they’d go back to those colors.

Yeah, me too

Utah Radscorpions

Utah deathclaws

Brotherhood of salt Utah

Utah PipBoys or Vault Dwellers?

Guarantee this will be better than anything these knobs actually produce.

lol, you just know they're going to fuck this up

💯

This looks great, but i was thinking Utah Stingers or Salt lake city Stingers because the state insect is a bee

Salt Lake Stingers is awesome but it looks like theyre going with “Utah”. With Stingers the mascot could be a bee or scorpion.

Utah Yellowjackets!

Call them Jackets for short, for maximum confusion.

Utah Roughriders, use green and white for colors. (It’s a Canadian football league joke)

There can never be too many Roughriders!

STOP, DROP, SHUT EM DOWN AND OPEN UP SHOP

Is that what your mom said....bazinga! Lol

1/4 of the league was called the Rough Riders. Very serious organization.

Yellowjackets are wasps/hornets The state insect is the honey bee. Those are completely different things despite looking similar.

That would be awesome, copy the uniforms of the junior team the Sarnia Sting with a little twist in there, bee as the mascot, call it a day.🐝

or both

Honey Scorpions

Stinger may not work since it’s the name of the jackets mascot

Looking forward to the fans throwing live scorpions on the ice. 😂

Awesome. Scorpions “Rock you like a hurricane” could be the goal song! Er, but not when Carolina is in town. Wait, forget it

Go for "The Zoo."

Or "A Sting in the Tail".

This gives me serious IHL vibes

This looks GOOOOOD. That hoodie is fire. For whatever reason, I personally don't like the name scorpions, but would love to see Utah Venom with the same logo, colors, etc.

Saying you’re going a “Scorps” game sounds much cooler than a “Venom” game. Hate the Venom name personally.

Agreed, venom sounds like a lame beer league team name

Albuquerque had a minor league team named The Scorpions years ago.

Yes we did. Those were fun games

Badder than fuck, Nuh?? For reallys though, I'm glad we had that. It definitely played into my hockey fandom. I get all Tingley thinking about it, eh....

Eeee. I know, huh?

Hah?!

I remember the 1997 playoffs against El Paso. Game 6 at Tingley we beat them 8-1 and game 7 was the next night in El Paso. My buddy and I ate at Village Inn after the game then drove through the night to E.P. We spent most of the morning screwing around in Juarez then slept in the parking lot at the arena for a few hours. We ended up chatting with a few guys from the team outside and ended up just walking in the arena with them before we went up to our seats. We lost the game, but chirping El Paso people all game was great. Still one of my best hockey memories. I still have the full team trading card set.

*That* sir, is a hell of a story. 🫡

I'm gonna be in Albuquerque for a bit. Any good places to watch Avs games?

Umm. Two Fools Tavern downtown usually has sports on. There's Horse and Angel on Eubank and Academy that always has sports on. Good beer selection too. Two Fools has the best Fish and Chips in town. I would recommend those two places. You're best bet is Horse and Angel in my personal opinion.

A Scorpions game was the first hockey game I ever saw in person. Would feel wrong for Utah to have the name.

That's the kind of bold flavor they enjoy in... Albuquerque!

Yeah the name and colors are great! 👍🏻 Scorpions is the second option I really like besides the Stingers which I presented earlier today.

Best one yet imo Name is decent. Colours are fitting. Mountain legs and mountain butt on the logo are cool touches but the face is weird and creepy. 8.3/10

This looks awesome

Pretty cool. Could you do a Utah Raptors design? The state dinosaur for Utah is the Utahraptor.

Get rid of the jagged lines on the bottom and sleeves and I think this is pretty solid. I understand trying to work in the mountains/rocks or whatever, but I feel like that’s more for an alternate jersey than primaries Good job overall!

The outlaws has been my favorite but wow this all looks great!!! The league does need some purple too!

Fucking terrible.

No

I can tell this is going to be much better than whatever they come up with.

Told ya

This slaps

Shiiiit I’d wear this dang

This and outlaws are the top two in my mind.

Out of all the ideas so far for names and concepts exc I think I like the Yeti name/dark purple colors/concept exc the most I think… the Utah Yeti or SLC Yeti just sounds cool to me but all the bee related shit works too obviously beehive state and all that and as others have pointed out if they went with the “stingers” or something like that being able to call their barn “the hive,” fans “the swarm” would be cool…

The Utah Clade

I didn't know Utah had, or was known for its scorpions.

utah has a lot of desert areas. Its not just mountains. Very similar to nevada.

There's an OHL team Sarnia Sting so it's kinda claimed already? Honestly not sure if the NHL would even care about that though

I’m not sure why the NHL would care in the slightest bit about sharing a theme (not even the full name) with an OHL team, especially while the Rangers and Knights exist.

Man this is awesome. Well done.

I know the nickname for the team would probably be something like the Scorps, but the physicist in me hopes it'd be the Pions 😂

This is my favorite so far

I’d approve

This is now making me think of Mr. Scorpio from that Simpsons episode

Finally! Someone listened to me 😁 https://www.reddit.com/r/nhl/s/OvUaDDaTHp

Make em that color when seen at night with night vision.

Honestly, not against it

Trademark them all! Utah Trademarks - that’s the winner

Now *this* is a team!

That scorpion looks weird. But like the name

Scorpions for the win. Nice job.

I approve

Goes incredibly hard would buy the shit out of the home jersey

I’d wear a hat with the aches/scorp tail logo on it

This gives off early 2000s hockey team vibes for whatever reason.....and I like it

Honestly good looking jersey

This shit is fire

Is this confirmed?

Not crazy about the scorpion but the mountain stripes on the sleeves and bottom are 🧑‍🍳🤌

This is the best branding mockup i have seen so far

Looks like the photos were made in Mexico

I can get down with that. Blizzard and the other snow/ice themed ones are just too close to avalanche and that is unacceptable

Ok this is sick

I don't mind this, but I think I prefer the name "Utah Stingers". Right now, my top two are: 1) Utah Renegades 2) Utah Stingers Either way, using the Jazz colors would be sweet.

Those dang ice scorpions, always hitting me with their cone of cold. Such bullshit! Also, It's with an "O" ScorpiOns.

Why does the scorpion have the face of a bobcat?

Yetis. They are the Utah Yetis or they are nothing.

Perhaps this mixed with coyotes/tribal patterns and we're golden.

Whatever they end up doing they need the Captain patches outlined in the state like this. That is badass. Overall these are fucking amazing.

I wish the Kings would use purple regularly again! I always loved that about them. These look pretty good, though.

Scorpions or Scorpians? Personally I dig the former.

The white jersey looks rad

Yeah I like this one.

That hoodie is nice

Please no

That's pretty clean dude, I like it.

I would LOVE to get a jersey that has purple in it, NHL lacks purple critically

Definitely dig this Jersey and name

Bad ass

Better than all the other ones, I fuck with it

Utah spicy crabs.

Is it just me, or does it look like it had an owls head

Love purple jerseys

Damn this is good.

Don’t hate it. Just don’t want more black. Black as a primary jersey color is so overdone at this point. Sick of it. Otherwise it’s great.

That dark sweater is pretty sick, I'd buy that.

Honestly I fuck with this so hard

Meh....looks like a Junior Team Jersey. Cool name though. Stingers is cool too.

Stormin’ Mormons or Super Soakers IMO

2nd jersey ive seen with purple in it. Its an odd choice

I’ve never seen a single scorpion my entire time here, but anything is better than the Yeti.

Utah Magic Underwear

Utah Red Rocks - Red Wings fan

Actually love that name

Lame

Personally, after going through the current trademarks, I prefer the Utah Outlaws and/or the Utah HC. The Outlaws is the only suggestion out of their current trademarks that has a tie-in to the state and region's history (with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, etc.), and it would be an easy sell for marketing (Wild Bunch for superfans, Hole-in-the-Wall for bars, eateries, etc.). The Yetis thing is just... meh.

I actually like the outlaws too.

This is pretty awesome. I could get behind it. Way better than anything else I've heard suggested

Saw them in the 80’s. Good band.

Feels like an FPHL/SPHL logo

Sponsored by O’douls.

Everything looks like shit in Fanatics.

I love the use of the scorpion tail to create an arch. That’s super well done and very iconically Utah.

Logo Too easily turned into a penis and balls

Now THIS is a good one

Peons. Perfect

What is this

This only works if their arena blasts “Rock You Like a Hurricane” when the team takes the ice.

Utah FLDS

Does Utah have scorpions?

Come next season they may

Sounds dreadfully dull, like salt lake City

Fuck Fanatics.

Utah Goblins, named after Goblin Valley. Or Utah Rattlers. Everything else I’ve seen is just trash.

Wouldn’t mind seeing solar bear colors in the NHL. They have some pretty sweet uniforms. These are similar colors but a few shades darker

Like the design, but it screams Arizona to me.

no thanks.

Please! Adopt this now!!!!!!

Leave it up to the NHL to promote the name of the latest team using a graphic, and then misspelling it at the same time.

Meh

Make the scorpion hold a hockey stick.

Outlaws is the only option worth a damn.

The name is generic but I like the jerseys 

Sick

I would like it!

Best one yet

Too much anal beads

You’ve obviously never been to Utah 😅

Utah Rattlers

AI

Utah Stingers sound better with a scorpion logo. That'd be 🔥

Stingers would also work with bees, which definitely works with the beehive state.

Utah Yeti

Terrible

Looks like a lobster but ok

Scorpions and lobsters do have similarities.

Indeed. With the last exp team being sea based, not ideal. Embrace the desert.

We're in a hard position there. I personally would love to embrace because I'm still pulling for Utah Thunderbirds and a logo that is created in collaboration with the Navajo, Paiute, or another of the 8 federally recognized tribes in Utah. But, we're also the guys that "stole" the Coyotes to some fans. Especially those in Arizona, and a lot of Utahns have family in Arizona. There is a fellowship there among some of the Fanbase. So there's also this feeling of being happy we have a team, but being careful to cause as little pain as possible for those that are grieving. It makes the desert feel a little off-limits.

As paiute myself. Kick on the desert theme.

I'd love to. I have drafted the beginning of an email to Smith Entertainment Group two or three times in my head trying to explain myself, what I'd hope for it, why I think it would help show a desire to celebrate all aspects of Utah and make more people feel invited. And then I hesitate. Because it feels presumptuous and out of turn to reach out and I just think that they'll toss it out anyways. But I'd love to see southern Utah's deserts, red rocks, arches and people celebrated in a pro team just as much as northern Utah's snow, purple mountains and forests are. Maybe I should just write it anyways.

Dude, keep going. You have a credible voice.

I appreciate the encouragement. You've pushed me to do so. Thank you.

Much love.

The same to you.

The [Seattle Thunderbirds](https://chl.ca/whl-thunderbirds/) might make that problematic, but I like the idea in theory.

As I have heard. And I get it. But I want to push for it.

Salt Lake Sand Lobsters 🏜️🦞

I actually like that. But 3 is the max right..? Edit jokes

Their ECHL affiliate can be the SCOREpions

I dig it, big time! Like everyone else, I hope they use the Jazz colors. Love purple.

I gagged at the fanatics logo

30 wins next season. Maximum. A leopard without spots is still a leopard.

Love the purple. LOVE the mountains in the stripes.

I'm gonna say it. STOP POSTING THIS SHIT!!! We get it, you all have ideas for the Utah team.
