Never even considered Venom could be scorpion-influenced. Always thought of some type of snake. I'm way more excited for that, with that option. Great call!!
Caribou at 16 is a violation of the Geneva convention. It’s not perfect, but the Deer-type motif would be just such a gorgeous aesthetic for logos and jerseys. Maybe pronghorns instead of caribou, but still - would be beautiful
Haha. I just think it sounds bad. Pronghorns too. I like the Iowa Heartlanders, but I think its hard to name a deer-like team and have it sound good like that.
Honestly, the only ones I like at all as options are Venom, Swarm, Freeze, Yeti(s), Outlaws, and maybe Black Diamonds because it's unique. I played for a team called the Freeze growing up, so it does work, but I think other options are better. Venom, Swarm, and Outlaws would be my top picks personally.
Ditch same old, same old. BOLDLY GO IN A NEW DIRECTION! One syllable is more impactful. No ending in "S". Have the city of Salt Lake represented by using "SL" in the name. UTAH SLxx. Like verb SLEW - sound like hockey? UTAH SLEW suggests gladiators in a ring. SLAM v Hockey Club, SLUICE v Ice, SLALOM v Powder, SL Usyk v Fury, SLEIGH v Caribou, SLOG v Squall, SLICK v Freeze, SLIDE v Canyons, SLEDGE v Frost, SLIPE v Mountaineers, SLEET v Blizzard, SLINK v Black Diamonds, SLAG v Mammoth, SLAKE v Yeti, SLATE v Blast, SLAY v Outlaws, SLICE v Glaciers, SLOOSH v Swarm, SLIVE v Hive, SLITHER v Venom. UTAH SLAKE stands out for being so close in spelling to Salt Lake. You get the picture, hundreds of "SL" words out there. Get crackin'. UTAH SLARK is a combination of SL for Salt Lake, and ARK which contained every conceivable critter. Yeah, make up a word and explain it.
I live in Toronto and personally wtf do we have an nba team and no other Canadian team this city is like the worst place to live and why tf are they called the raptors like who named that
I agree. But if it had to be an American city, I'm glad it's somewhere new. I really hope they don't go back to Atlanta, but I wouldn't be surprised at this point if they eventually decided to.
shorten it to SLAKE, SL for Salt Lake; slake means "subside, abate" as in vanquish the opponent, "to lessen the force of" as in beat the crap out of the opposition, "to quench, satisfy" as in take great satisfaction in tarring and feathering the other team; UTAH SLAKE
