Statements
The Utah Hockey Club has unveiled its color scheme, logo, and jerseys for its inaugural season in 2024-25.
After relocating from Arizona, the Utah team is incorporating primary and secondary colors that reflect the unique landscape of the area.
The team will adopt the Utah Hockey Club moniker for its debut season while it sorts out a more permanent rebrand for the 2025-26 season and beyond. Utah revealed the colors and uniforms it will use while awaiting its future name and logo.
New Color Scheme
Utah has chosen to go with "rock black," "salt white," and "mountain blue" as its color scheme. These hues are selected to resonate with Utah’s natural beauty and rugged terrain. The club is keeping the logos simple, using "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
The home sweater uses black as the primary color with "UTAH" spelled out diagonally. 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 like the Carolina Hurricanes, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Vegas Golden Knights have also employed this design in recent alternate uniforms. The simplicity and classic feel of the uniforms provide a sense of tradition while the team prepares for its permanent identity.
Upcoming Rebrand
The Utah Hockey Club should 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 highlights the organization’s commitment to building a strong, local fan base from the start.
