The Utah Hockey Club Unveils Colors, Logo, and Jerseys for Inaugural Season
The Utah Hockey Club has officially unveiled its color scheme, logo, and jerseys for its inaugural season slated for 2024-25. After relocating from Arizona, the Utah team has decided to incorporate primary and secondary colors that reflect the unique landscape of the region.
Embracing Local Identity
For their debut season, the team will adopt the moniker "Utah Hockey Club" while they sort out a more permanent rebrand for the 2025-26 season and beyond. The team revealed the colors and uniforms it will use while awaiting its future name and logo, a clear indication of their desire to root themselves firmly in the local culture.
New Color Scheme Reflecting Utah’s Landscape
The Utah Hockey Club has chosen "rock black," "salt white," and "mountain blue" as its color scheme. These hues were selected to resonate with Utah’s natural beauty and rugged terrain. The team aims to keep the logos simple, utilizing "Utah Hockey Club" in various forms, including versions featuring the state of Utah. These colors will remain even after the new name is finalized, which is currently being decided by a fan vote.
Jersey Designs: Simplicity and Tradition
The home sweater prominently features black as the primary color with "UTAH" spelled out diagonally across the chest. The away jersey follows the same design but uses white as the primary color. This diagonal text format is a common design in the league, famously utilized by the New York Rangers. Teams such as the Carolina Hurricanes, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Vegas Golden Knights have also employed this design in their recent alternate uniforms.
The simplicity and classic feel of the uniforms provide a sense of tradition as the team prepares for its permanent identity. This understated approach aligns well with the transitional nature of the team’s current branding phase.
Looking Forward to a Permanent Rebrand
The Utah Hockey Club is expected to finalize its permanent rebrand soon, with fan voting for the new team name set to end on June 20. The finalists in the naming contest include Blizzard, Mammoth, Outlaws, Venom, and Yeti, along with an option to retain the Utah Hockey Club name. This community-driven approach to the rebrand highlights the organization’s commitment to building a strong, local fan base from the start.
In the Words of the Club
An official statement from the club read, "The new team colors—'rock black,' 'salt white,' and 'mountain blue'—perfectly encapsulate the spirit of Utah's rugged landscape." The statement continued, "While the interim name 'Utah Hockey Club' and the simple 'UTAH' diagonal text on the jerseys keep things straightforward and rooted in tradition, these elements provide a solid foundation for the team's future identity."
The club eagerly anticipates the conclusion of the fan vote and looks forward to unveiling its new permanent brand.
