[BleedFire]

Any suggestions?

[Jabinho]

I wonder if the name will be announced tommorow?
Anyway, it's going to be "The Utah Gulls"
5/4 odds in Vegas..

From the rumblings I've heard from the Checketts camp, I wouldn't be surprised if they actually do go with Salt Lake City FC.

Here's to helping Checketts out ;)

Seriously, there have been a bunch of good suggestions put out in various threads. Here's a few I found off hand.

Which should the Utah team be named?

[Eric Bekins]

How many different threads should there be with suggested names?

[Lone Star]

Any suggestions?
Great Salt Lake

Never happen, but at least it's original. Well, maybe. I haven't read all the other threads yet.

Other then that I like Utah Saints. Pioneers or Sting work as well.

How many different threads should there be with suggested names?
I dunno. How many polls?

[LeeS]

How many different threads should there be with suggested names?

A lot, apparently.

Salt Lake City Sting

or SLC SC (with nickname Sting?)

[Hayduke]

I read an AP article suggesting it was to be the Utah "Blitzz".

I was listening to 1280 AM about an hour ago, and Craig Bolerjack was interviewing Dave Checketts. When Boler asked Checketts what the name of the team will be, he replied that the name will be revealed in 3 weeks and he will guarantee that it will not have zz, will not be pioneers, brine shrimp etc., and it will have an "international" flavor. Here's hoping that FC will be in the name.

Salt Lake Bears was another name I saw thrown out.

Any obscure/specific names for local types of native big cats, bears, or other large/wild animal out there (ie Grizzlies, Cougars, etc) that aren't being used? ;)
