Yeah this likely won't turn out well. But at this point I'm also resigned to the fact the logo and identity will end up looking like an esports team.

If Flames' AHL affiliate fan votes have taught me anything, it's that the new team will be called the "Utah Heat"

I don’t see the issue here. He said a bracket which means it’ll be predetermined names you vote on, it won’t be a write in. He also said “help” not name via direct vote.

Sounds like they’re just asking for public feedback on their name ideas.

Seems to me that if they call themselves the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Skates, they don’t have to pay taxes.

IIRC Anaheim had a poll. Then went with the name they already had.

Raptors were named from a poll. None of the other choices were any better (yes, there was a "Scorpions").
