'Tusks Up': Utah Hockey Club officially unveils Mammoth name, logo

A poorly kept secret became official news when the Utah Hockey Club announced its new team name Wednesday.

I think they should have gone with either Utah HC the rest of the names sounded kind of dumb.
The Mammoth? Meh.
Tusks Up is their rallying cry. Dumb too.

Kraken was already kinda dumb. This one isn't great and won't age well either.

I don't think it's that bad actually, I kind of like the logo too. Reminds me of the black red white Sabres jerseys which is one of my favorites.

Could do without tusks up though.

I hate using singular nouns to represent teams. Did this start with women's basketball?

The name is whatever I guess, this day n age cant be anything even close to politicly incorrect...in fact, I think fat people should complain about this one.

The battle cry is horrendous...I mean, thats really bad IMO

mammoth makes sense... they couldnt do Morman, so why not do something with many similar letters...

Thats funny. I Just heard the guy on NHL radio say the same thing yesterday. That thought had never crossed my mind.

God no. The Heat, Magic and a few others were around before the WNBA.
