Utah Hockey Club’s New Uniforms Won’t “Deviate Too Far” From Current Set – SportsLogos.Net News
The Utah Hockey Club is still without a name for next season, but at least we’ve got an idea of what the uniforms will look like…
Basically the same as this year’s.
According to Utah president of hockey operations Chris Armstrong in a recent article on NHL.com, Utah will stay close to their current jersey design.
“What I would say is that, based on the very encouraging feedback that we’ve received from fans and our players alike on the inaugural season jersey design, we’ll be making some adjustments and some what we think are improvements, but we don’t want to deviate too far from what’s already been well received in our inaugural season,” he said.
So what exactly does this mean?
Well, we can really only speculate of course, but I’d take it to mean that the colours and striping will either be carried over exactly as they are or just slightly adjusted. Armstrong’s note about “making some adjustments … we think are improvements,” could point to fixing the discrepancies between the home and road jersey striping so they actually match each other.
The graphic above gives us a peek at what consistent striping across the home and road sets would look like on a blank jersey, just pop in your favourite Utah Whateverzz logo concept on the chest and you’re good to go.
Utah Hockey Club recently made their jerseys available for sale at retail both in-person at Delta Center and online at NHLShop.com, though it appears there are no longer any available online. Fans wanting the 2024-25 Inaugural Season patch must get their jersey at the arena in Salt Lake City.
When the franchise was granted earlier this year, the club announced they’d use a temporary identity for their first season in the NHL due to the quick turnaround time between acquiring the franchise and their first game. Several months later, however, the team still hasn’t announced a name, nor have they even revealed if they’ll even change their name at all. As a reminder, the six finalist names are Blizzard, Mammoth, Outlaws, Venom, Yeti, or keeping Utah Hockey Club.
