FINALLY! Utah Announces Hockey Team Mascot

This has been like when Moses went up to Sinai and really just took his sweet time. 

Utah getting a hockey team is still surreal to this fat man, but it's already through its first season. And they did it without a name.

There's been much speculation about what the heck the name will eventually be from the Yeti to the Outlaws to the Wasatch (!).

Let's go.

That's pretty good.

I like Mammoth. Apparently there were mammoth bones found somewhere in Utah.

Wow. Basically, Utah runs this joint when it comes to mammoths.

I'm not sure about them using the singular "mammoth" instead of "mammoths." But I think I understand why. Saying mammoths is difficult for people with lisps and why alienate a portion of the fanbase when you're trying to grow?

From ESPN: (LINK TO FULL ARTICLE)

"Goodbye, Utah Hockey Club. Tusks up, Utah Mammoth.

After a 13-month process that included trademark drama and more than 850,000 ballots cast by fans in multiple rounds of voting, Utah Mammoth was revealed as the new name and permanent identity for the NHL franchise Wednesday."

And it just fits with hockey. It's cold, it's wooly, it has tusks. I like it a lot.

I would have liked Yeti too because of the sound alliteration, but those nerds from the cooler company got all up in their feelings about it.

I'm looking forward to seeing the actual mascot costume they come up with. I hope it's big and scary but they'll probably Disney-fy it.

What do you think?
