Apologies if this is too soon (and I'm still holding out hope), but all the Utah stuff was getting mixed in with the Arizona stuff.
But, this seems like a done deal. So what do we name this thing?
One assumption is that they will be Utah, not Salt Lake City, to represent the whole state. It also matches the Utah Jazz name, the other team owned by Ryan Smith.
Some most common names seen online:
Utah Yeti
Utah Swarm (though, seems unlikely as there is already a minor baseball team named the Bees)
Utah Eagles (former IHL team was named SLC Eagles, also already used in NFL)
Utah Vipers (or something else Snake related)
Utah Stags (or something else Moose related)
Utah Grizzlies (current ECHL team, can they get the rights?, also already used in NBA)
Utah Saints (also already used in NFL)
