especially since this was kind of a last-minute thing, since the league waited forever to finally move on from Arizona.

Yeah, they wanted 3 years to get ready.

NHL said 6 months, take it or leave it.

I guess you gotta generate excitement / talk, so having this process last over time and creating a competition type atmosphere might work.

I am sure they know their market.

i had actually read in two different places that they were going to call them the utah hockey club for a year before coming up with the real name. seems like a bit of a money grab maybe so everyone has to buy one jersey in year one and then a different one in year two.

maybe they ditched that idea. or maybe it was BS in the first place.

if it's for a year, that's fine, because when I saw the list the other day I thought "Utah HC" was among the choices for a permanent name...

i think someone mentioned it in the comments for that tweet. and then i read an article a few days ago that mentioned them maybe going with hockey club for the first year.

if they take a year and then show up with purple and blue mountain uniforms i'm heading out there to break some heads.

I'll give it a chance before judging, I don't necessarily hate those colors so there's potential for it to be fine.

to be honest though if I had to wage I'd put a whole dollar on all of it going horribly wrong.

Purple, blue, yellow.

Let's do it.

Purple, blue, yellow.

by "let's do it", do you mean "break some heads"..?

they can't really do mountains anyway, can they? the avs have a mountain and even have mountain stripes.

they also have like 50,000 square miles of salt flats. let's see them do something with that!

I heard something similar, if they run into issues getting it all done by camp.

The NHL at its best.

You realize that the PHX owner has a crack at an expansion franchise if he can get an arena built, right?
