NHL Team Name Idea: Skinwalkers

49 comments

1. we 100% need a purple and yellow team

2. Not appropriate!

3. I’m listening…..

4. This is fucking sick

5. “Skinwalker” makes my skin crawl but the logo and color scheme is *chef’s kiss*

6. Someone please do a logo for the Stormin’ Mormons!

7. Lol. Yeah. A predominantly Mormon and Christian state is totally going to pick a native American supernatural mythic creature that represents evil and is heavily taboo to talk about for natives and fundamental religious people.

8. What happened to the game I love

9. Ya let’s go Skinwankers!

10. That’s a scary name.

11. Utah Hoodoo

12. This is very insensitive to the Diné (aka Navajo who live in Southern Utah) who very much believe in this phenomenon . Im not a PC guy by any means (love the Braves and hope they never change their name) but have spent a decent amount of time around the Diné and they do not like to discuss skin walkers at all. Its a very taboo and sensitive topic for them.

13. Since Seattle went with Kraken I swear 90% of team name concepts are mythological creatures now

14. Would be cool if it wasn’t AI art. AI art is the opposite of creative.

15. Better than willingly calling yourself a Predator.

16. From what I gather this will be an unpopular opinion, but the purple and yellow together is horrible. Not aestheticly pleasing

17. Chill dahmer

18. I love it

19. hahahaha NO

20. Utah Teeny Boppers

21. Should be Salt Lake Sasquatch.

22. Nordiques

23. Wendigos. Wendigofuckyourself!

24. Soakers or riot

25. Utah Coyotes. Salt Lake coyotes. Same team, same players. Unless the name is trademarked to Arizona my opinion is to keep it the same.

26. What?

27. Skinwalkers…that doesn’t sound good

28. that would be a very bad omen to choose that name. ppl don’t know it’s not to be taken lightly

29. I like Coyotes….

30. I still like the Utah Soakers

31. Yes please

32. AI garbage

33. The use of purple is nice. I wish purple was more present in NHL brands.

    Purple is very commonly used in other men’s professional leagues.

34. This has my vote for sure

35. LOVE IT!

36. [Utah Utes](https://images.app.goo.gl/PcmaNyfRyMzWznQA8)
    Or the Utah Nihonjin sounds about right

37. Utah Soakers or Quakers.. or it’s a naming fail…. lol

38. I love the logo

39. Hard pass

40. This is always the expansion team I do GM mode with in the NHL games. Would love to actually see this

41. Love it!

42. The Mormons are gonna LOVE that one…..

43. ChatGPT: How about the Salt Lake City Snowhawks? It combines the region’s winter theme with the swift and fierce nature of a hawk.

44. r/UtahJizz

45. The Utah Butimtallers

46. All I think of with Utah is the salt flats… the original crazy fast record breaker that made the hunt for speed a national pastime in the 60’s was the spirt of America… so the Utah spirits?

    The car that beat that record in Utah was the blue flame…

    I’m sure someone can make a logo out of the jet powered cars… they weren’t cool colours or anything, so free for all for colours.

47. ECHL calibre name.

48. I’m on board with this

49. what if they switched it up and went for ideas like this? i mean, if it’s a superstition thing or a controversial topic, i can understand. but still, the imagery is pretty cool imo
