Are they? I can't see people lining up to buy generic jerseys that will be outdated in a year.
Seattle wasn't playing hockey games before the name was revealed. And as you say, Vegas took five months. There's no reason for Utah to take longer than Vegas, is there?
Four teams have relocated in the last 30 years. Three (Avalanche, Coyotes, Hurricanes) were renamed and rebranded. While the Jets used the name of the previous Winnipeg franchise, they designed the uniforms and logo from scratch. And all four of those teams did it in one off-season.

I don’t know why you’re hung up on a year and a half. It’s not going to take a year and a half, but they want to take longer than 3 months. They’re getting fans involved (instead of Colorado that almost ####ed it and called themselves the “Rocky Mountain Extreme” until everyone hated it lol).
If Utah takes the same amount of time as Vegas, that puts them past the start of the season. I think we can both agree that they need a jersey and everything before they start playing games.
Maybe you can explain to me what the manufacturing deadlines for Fanatics is to produce NHL jersey changes for the on ice product, and some of the turnaround times for the elements required here, and then we can see where Utah went wrong by taking the extra time to involve the fans in the naming process.
