Utah Hockey Club Unveils Color Scheme, Logo, and Jerseys for Debut 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 team is embracing the unique landscape of Utah through a carefully selected palette of primary and secondary colors that will define their brand.
Transitional Identity
For its debut season, the team will adopt the moniker "Utah Hockey Club" while it works on a more permanent rebrand for the 2025-26 season and beyond. During this transitional period, the club has revealed its colors and uniforms, providing a glimpse of what fans can expect as they await the final name and logo.
New Color Scheme
The Utah Hockey Club has chosen "rock black," "salt white," and "mountain blue" as its official color scheme. These hues are inspired by Utah’s natural beauty and rugged terrain, embodying the spirit of the state.
Keeping the logos simple, the club has opted to use "Utah Hockey Club" in various forms, including versions featuring the state of Utah. Notably, these colors will remain constant even after the new team name is decided, which is currently being determined by a fan vote.
Jersey Designs
Delving into the uniform details, the home sweater will feature black as the primary color with "UTAH" spelled out diagonally across the chest. The away jersey follows the same design but utilizes white as the primary color. This diagonal text format is a popular design element in the league, famously employed by the New York Rangers.
Other teams like the Carolina Hurricanes, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Vegas Golden Knights have also used this design in recent alternate uniforms. The simplicity and classic feel of the uniforms offer a sense of tradition while the team readies itself for its permanent identity.
Upcoming Rebrand
The Utah Hockey Club is expected to finalize its permanent rebrand soon, with fan voting for the new team name set to conclude on June 20. The finalists in the naming contest include Blizzard, Mammoth, Outlaws, Venom, and Yeti, as well as the option to retain the Utah Hockey Club name.
This community-driven approach to the rebrand underscores the organization’s commitment to building a strong, local fan base from the outset. Engaging fans in the decision-making process fosters a sense of belonging and investment in the team’s future.
