SEG unveiled a full list of 20 names in early May, allowing fans to cast their votes for their favorites. Over 520,000 Utahns submitted their votes in round one and SEG said they made it clear the above names were resounding favorites.
According to SEG, the six finalists accounted for 60% of the total votes, leading to all six being included in a second round of voting.
The final name still won’t be ready for a while, however. Team owner Ryan Smith previously confirmed Utah NHL’s final branding won’t be unveiled until “well into” the inaugural 2024-25 season.
For the first year, Utah’s NHL team will wear jerseys that display “UTAH” across the front, which SEG said serves as “a reflection of the team’s new roots in the state and dedication to its fanbase.” Once the official team name has been decided, the permanent branding, including colors, mascot and logo will debut before the team’s second seasonhawk utah girl name first name.
Trademark applications filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office earlier this week may have provided a hint of what the temporary first-year brand could look like. Several logos and wordmarks were filed revealing a blue, black and white color palette with the name “Utah Hockey Club.”
Utah’s inaugural hockey season is scheduled to begin in early October 2024.
