Name the team after the state bird - Utah California Gulls

Sounds like a 'Weird' Al Yankovic parody of a Katy Perry song.

California gulls
We're unavoidable
At, the, beach
We eat up your trash
Latter Day saints repent
Now put your wings up
Oiiiight oigghhttt ahhhahhhahhhah
Oiiiight oigghhttt ahhhahhhahhhah

(Ooo that ending really grates the ears)

I can hear Al doing it now.

Had to look that up. That’s hilarious

I'd figure the state bird would be any other bird besides that one!

I guess Mormons knocking on your door works in Utah?

The Vegas-style pre-game show is REALLY going to be out of control in Utah, too....

(Cate Blanchett LOTR style narrator over the PA system)
Narrator: "Christians!!! A pack of heathen lords has arrived from the East to invade the kingdom of the believers..."
Zinbanejad to teammate: "Wow, this is a little much..."
Narrator: "We cannot allow these foreigners to invade our home turf" (camera closes in on Rangers, crowd boos)
Zinbanejad to teammate: "I'm Swedish and my dad fled Iran BECAUSE he was Christian, but sure, I have long hair, so..."
Narrator: "These long-haired gypsies cannot feast in the temple of the Mormons!!!"
Zinbanejad to teammate: "I KNEW it was the hair... and I am in band, but so what."
Narrator: "RISE UP and become one as we cheer our ice CRUSADERS, the Stormin' Mormons, to victory over the Rangers" (crowd in a frenzy)

Before they became a state they had a swarm of locusts that was killing their crop, it was looking like a famine was incoming. That bird arrived in droves and ate some bugs. So they named it the state bird because they faced some serious starvation without them.

Plus if you ask the Mormons they will tell you that God sent the birds, not that the birds went where the food was. So California Jesus Gulls!

Utah Whiteys

I think he was talking about the potatoes grown in the northrrn part of the state.

Whiteys in reference to snow cap mountains or all the people in Utah.

No worries. If there is a state that can fit 2, 3, or 4 people in a space traditionally occupied by only one person... it's Utah.

We have a place in BC like this with an appropriate name - Bountiful

They cheered Bettman?

Fuck Utah



Also "about to be hockey fans". How fucking condescending can you be?

They'll learn. I still remember Game 7 of the Boston-Vancouver final, which Boston won, but as the Cup was presented, every fan of Vancouver joined with every fan of Boston and booed Bettman. THAT is what hockey is all about.

I'm just not much of a fan of the non-plural name (of course, that seems to be the current trend with Wild, Lightning, and Kraken). They have nine species of scorpions in Utah, I'm thinking you could have a lot of fun with a scorpion on a jersey.
