The United States Patent and Trademark Office rejected six of the names the team filed under intent-to-use applications back in April. Notably, that list includes the Utah Yeti and Yetis, which is known as a fan — and organization — favorite.

I know it wasn’t a finalist, but it would have been a hat tip to the Mormons (latter day saints), a reference to Slap Shot — the Minnesota Fighting Saints were the inspiration for the Chiefs, a hilarious irony since the Utah NBA team moved from New Orleans and kept the name and the New Orleans football team is the Saints, and an homage to me.

The Utah Hockey Club
The Utah Mammoth
The Utah Wasatch

Those Mormons really have the creative juices going, don't they?

What are the odds they stick with what they're already wearing??

That franchise is the joke that keeps on going.

Yeah, I did see that. My reply was very 'tongue in cheek'. Do wonder why it was rejected though, any idea?

Because Yeti (think coolers and canteens etc.) have a very particular and complicated TM on the name.

The trademark for a hockey team called the Utah Yetis (and others) is held by someone else - therefore the team can't claim the trademark, and it was denied. It has nothing to do with the coolers (or did I miss a winkie?)
