Utah Hockey Club Unveils New Identity Ahead of 2024-25 Season
The Utah Hockey Club has officially unveiled its color scheme, logo, and jerseys for its inaugural season in 2024-25. After relocating from Arizona, the Utah team has embraced colors that reflect the unique landscape of their new home.
For its debut season, the team will adopt the Utah Hockey Club moniker while it works on a more permanent rebrand for the 2025-26 season and beyond. The team's colors and uniforms have been revealed, even as it awaits a final decision on its future name and logo.
New Color Scheme
Utah has chosen "rock black," "salt white," and "mountain blue" as its color palette. These hues resonate with Utah’s natural beauty and rugged terrain, providing a solid foundation for the team’s identity. The club is keeping the logos simple, featuring "Utah Hockey Club" in various forms, including versions that incorporate the state of Utah.
These colors will remain part of the team's identity even after the new name is finalized. Currently, the new name is being decided by a fan vote, highlighting the organization’s commitment to community involvement.
Jersey Designs
The home sweater prominently features black as the primary color, with "UTAH" spelled out diagonally. The away jersey follows the same design but uses white as the main color. This diagonal text format is a well-known design in the league, famously used by the New York Rangers. Other teams, such as the Carolina Hurricanes, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Vegas Golden Knights, have utilized 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. The unveiled design and color schemes not only set the stage for the future but also create a sense of belonging and pride among fans and players.
Upcoming Rebrand
The Utah Hockey Club is set to finalize its permanent rebrand soon, with fan voting for the new team name scheduled to end on June 20. The finalists in the naming contest include Blizzard, Mammoth, Outlaws, Venom, and Yeti, along with the option to retain the Utah Hockey Club name.
This community-driven approach to the rebrand underscores the organization's dedication to building a strong, local fan base from the start. The future looks bright for the Utah Hockey Club, and the months leading up to the new season will be filled with anticipation as this new chapter in the team’s history unfolds.
