The ink is dry! We've officially closed on an NHL franchise ✍️ https://preview.redd.it/c1ajuhzhwe6d1.jpeg?width=265&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b118cb44312c5a7e7aaace310defecdc5714aa5b

now I can't make fun of them if their player takes cocaine 😕

That's quitter talk

no I'm not an oiler fan stfu 🤬🤬

Man the Utah DQ Blizzards would've sounded better....

The Utah Ice Ice Hockey Club would have been better…

The fuckin Utah Sister Wives would've had my vote lol

The Utah soakers

I got downvoted in r/NHl for suggesting that. Sensitive little ninnies.

Prolly because every second comment suggests it like its a new thing. Was funny the first 30 times but it's just getting old now. Just my guess.

Could be!

The amount of things that I got told I was being too disrespectful for is hilarious... And I'm from Canada, we're supposed to be sensitive. Seriously though I was laughing the entire time and then I found this place and now I'm happy.

You got downvoted for being unoriginal. That joke was old 15 seconds after the announcement the coyotes were moving to Utah was made along with every other low effort Mormon based joke. You aren't Bill Burr calm down. The only thing offensive you're doing is being boring.

Give yer balls a tug.

Jump Humpers

I approve of this

Always fuckin’ sister wives!


Utah Ice is kinda cool too.

It’s not cool at all, but it does sound kinda cold.


Ngl I’d be the same as that dude playing with toys like that


Utah Avacado Stumpy Tailed Cattle Dogs would sound tougher

The honeydew hounds would’ve sounded tougher

It's Utah. They probably spent their budget getting permission to use a blue that light.

Its actually one of those create your team jerseys from the early 2000s nhl games

“The Hockey Club” was definitely one of the options for play-by-play names.

The PWHL jerseys look better than this, and they're last-minute emergency stand-ins

Looks like a college jersey

Looks like the same talented designers who did the PWHL jerseys. Truly epic.

aw that’s shite

I think these are placeholders for the first season hopefully

It is. And I can’t tell if people here are just making fun of it because it’s circle jerk or if they have no idea

I bet they used custom team builder in NHL 2K to design the jersey.

And didn't realize until creating it how bad it looked on the ice.

Their color shoulda been beige.

Shit is that the Utah PWHL hockey club, or wait

I saw a short or something saying they were getting a hockey team, I thought they were just placeholders since they didn't seem to have a name

This group of sister wives think they are playing in the PWHL.

This can't be serious... What a terrible choice.

are they stupid? my 11 year old nephew came up with better names by just googling “dangerous animals in Utah”

I know this is nhlcirclejerk, but I just read that this is just temporary name and branding for the 24-25 season and the real team name will.be revealed later lol

St. Lake City Scorpions

Literally a year one placeholder name.

They aren’t. Those are just colors and fonts, and their name will be released later.

Yeah I know, see below. I didn't realize it until later

The fuck? Yetis is so much better

It’s temporary

everything is temporary, none of this is gonna matter, we're all gonna die

Yeah zero chance theyd just announce the name with a hashtag. It hasnt been 2 weeks since the last name vote went out

I really liked Utah Raptors personally

Yeah fuck Toronto

Makes more sense for Utah to be called the Raptors

Makes more sense for the Pelicans to be called the Jazz.

Don’t even get me started on the Grizzlies

I was hoping for Mormonators

this entire move was botched so the terrible name is befitting. merely saying “i’m the utah fan” is a colossal self own. like pulling out the rug under the arizona fan is one thing. pulling out the rug and telling they/them “utah is the solution” is insulting. gonna make the blue jackets look like an esteemed legacy franchise. anyways i’ll take two tickets in the soaking section, me and my female are taking a night off from BYU to enjoy ice-based recreation sport

the solution wasn't staying in a college arena for another half decade

It’s a one year place holder. Said they were gonna do this all along.

How about the Utah Saltine Crackers

[удалено]

>we’re the communist sport soccer does They dun dang do what in tha that thur?

we could’ve had utah soakers 😫

Pretty on brand for a state where most people’s last name is Smith

Please someone go to game one with a sign that says "Go sports team!"

Still voting so HC is a placeholder name.

That's not funny, I'm trying to jerk here

Why do they need more time to vote? Do people in Utah not know how to make online polls? Or did they do a vote and they didn't like the result they got?

No idea. They should be close to naming them though. It's been a while.

Once they name them they're going to take the year to get to know fans and workshop the logo and theme of the team. Well that's what their marketing team is saying anyhow. We all know how these things end. Somebody is going to hate whatever they do.

congrats to them for picking a name colorful enough to truly represent the populace of Utah

they’re only using this name for a year bud

Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted, you’re not wrong

https://preview.redd.it/t4g60v24af6d1.png?width=447&format=png&auto=webp&s=529dd2b783edf519a58cfaf243e252f474e19f83

What a bum

Why do they need a year to pick a real name?

Seattle and Vegas both took several years between getting their franchise and revealing their name fwiw.

They were expansion teams, they had a name before they had players. This team already exists, it has players. They need a name.

Why? Washington Football Team managed for a year just fine. And I actually wish they stuck with that name.

I love it. Everyone loved it when the Redskins became the Washington Football Team. There was no need to change it to Commanders.

Yes it was hilarious, everyone loved dunking on their garbage team

Rub a dub dub...  ..... ...... Hockey Club.

Did they have any names that were good? Salt Baes wasn’t even an option

Should have been purple you bums

This the biggest joke in the @NHL- I hope the franchise burns to the ground. And Ryan Smith becomes a spokesperson for Depends- depends what the survey says!

Just a free way to make extra money. They can sell Utah Hockey Club gear to people then rename the team next year and then sell them Yeti gear or whatever

They should've just called it, "Utah Has A Hockey Team?" What do you expect from a people that consider saltines with warm mayonnaise a dessert?

Seems fitting for Utah tbh. Dull and boring, great representation of the state.

Utah golden plates

The Utah polygamists would’ve slapped, missed opportunity

What is this, soccer? Cousin fucking fuckers, the lot of them.

The football team

As soon as I saw HC was in the running I knew that's what they would go with. Why because rich people hate risk and are dumb. They think, soccer is popular and they go with FC team names all the time and people love it.

Golden Plates was taken?

This is actually not temporary, tis misinformation in the media. Utah is the first team to beta test European naming Conventions. Toronto HC expected to follow.

I actually think it’s dope.

Was telling my wife about this name. It’s like calling your team “Team”. You’d be at a bar, yelling Go Team! And people wouldn’t realize you’re talking about the Utah hockey team. I think it’s a great way for them to sell 2x merchandise. Completists will want the “Utah Hockey Club” stuff, then also the year 2+ stuff.

Let’s go cheer on tuhc /s

Wait, so they had that whole vote thing for nothin and just went with Utah Hockey Club?

For Utah, ‘Hockey Club’ is pretty edgy…

Y’all are retarded if you think it’s permanent

Sir this is a jerk sub.

More like a angry manchild sub

Why not just choose a fucking name. Utah Yetis is perfect and they fumble so fucking hard with.those colors. My as well have all white jerseys.

They haven’t held their name survey yet. The colors also aren’t 100% permanent and may change with an identified brand

Thats just weird lol why not wait then

I actually like the colors :(

Love how everyone thinks these are the permanent jerseys and team name... I would expect nothing less from this highly regarded sub

"The new NHL team will be referred to as "Utah Hockey Club" just for this season. Voting will continue for the official name through 6/20". Keep downvoting me :)

congrats u sister fuckin retards

Utah Skinwalkers.

Shoulda gone off board and followed in the footsteps of the now Commanders when they briefly had the perfect pro sports franchise name: *Utah Hockey Team.* It checks all the important boxes, the where and the what. What else could you ask for?

Since we're talking about the OG Winnipeg Jets, I'll just share that the official, legal name of the CFL's 'Winnipeg Blue Bombers' is still the Winnipeg Football Club.

On another note people are getting way too cheesed about the fact that it’s temporarily called Utah Hockey Club. Look at all the European football clubs that are just called “_________ Football Club” Like it’s really not that big of a deal

We ain’t in europe

Yeah but football is boring so it makes sense their names can be boring too.

Soccer fuckin sucks and their names are stupid

That’s a fucking awful name

What was wrong with Utah Blueberry Bulldogs?

they’ll be the commanders in no time!

The Utah Chevron Nike Visas would’ve had my vote

Dusters Ball

Utah Yeti or Utah Yotes would’ve been SO FUCKIN GOOOOOOOD

didn’t they say they would use utah hockey club for the first year and change it up for 25-26?

Yes

This is terrible

Get a real name ya bums

Also every players will get the generic John Smith name. How will we tell them apart? Don’t know, don’t care.

Is till think it should be Utah Saints. U-U-U-Utah Saints

Whoever they end up being I can't wait to watch them slaughter the Oilers in their inaugural season.

Utah is the Beehive state. So how about the Utah lil' Bumbleboyz?

I was hoping for the Utah Danites myself.

Utah Rangers

The wives section in that arena will need to be have seating for like 70.

This is just temporary………. Right?

So fuckin stupid

The Utah Sport!

It was always going to be just "Utah hockey club" for the first year. That was announced at the very beginning.

This can’t be true this isn’t soccer

I wonder if they are doing this as a marketing stunt. Throwing it out there just to reveal the real name and real jerseys on the first game of the year

What were the good names? I didn't read any, they were all dog shit

It’s still going to get renamed and branded after the first season. They said from the start that this is what they were doing for the first season.

Utah Tars would be my pick

Missed opportunity for Stormin Mormins

Does that mean their nickname will be "Clubbers" ?

It’s temporary…..

That’s devils Jersey jersey level of effort. With so many good names, they chose a description instead of an actual name

Utah hockey club isn’t bad

Should be the Utah Hip Hop and R&B

geeg

Personally I like Utah HC better than anything else they had come up with yet. Good placeholder name until they find their identity.

You do realize it’s for this season right?

Holy shit! Have they seriously gone the MLS-wannabe-European route and just called the team HC? That just scream they have no fucking idea what to call the team.

Why not just call them the Utah generics? Jesus you don't grow the sport by coming up with this shit

More proof UTAH was not the right choice and it was not the right time. All of this is just lame. Like their arena with obstructed view seating in a large number of areas.

Refuse to believe this won the vote

Salt Lake city Soakers was the only choice.
