Utah's hockey team name and jersey for the inaugural season were revealed Thursday.
The announcement was made on June 13, after the NHL and Smith's Entertainment Group came to an agreement, establishing the Utah franchise.
The team will be known as Utah Hockey Club until phase two of the multi-phase voting process for the official name is finalized on June 20.

The 2024-2025 team jerseys feature a black, white, and blue color palette. Officials said the color scheme was designed to intentionally mirror that of the Utah Jazz, also owned by SEG.
Each color included in the team jersey has a different representation. "Rock" black the darkness of night in Utah's mountains and the volcanic rock of our state's desert, while "salt" white mirrors the snow on the mountain peaks and the famous salt flats, and the "mountain" blue stands for the state's and history in winter sports and its nearly year-round clear skies.
