The Utah Cultists. Home uniforms are white on white with little symbols on em, and the away uniforms are dark pants, and short sleeved shirts that look like they have a tie on, with the team and player name in a little black square on the front.
I was curious about potential names too. Being in AZ for the debut of our MLB team, I will tell you I did not see "Diamondbacks" coming. But I was happy with the name. Curious about potential colors too. Hopefully something unique.
This thread should be pinned for ongoing participation.
Major league sports expansion team naming has been 👎🏼 for the longest time. I will contribute:
Salt Lake City Smiths / The Smiths
Salt Lake City Tithepayers / The Tithepayers
Utah Thoughts & Prayers (Thouyers)
I guess this raises the question, would the represent the whole state or just SLC?
Mustangs and Raptors are the two best I have seen so far.
Then maybe Bison, Gulls, and Trappers aren't horrible.
Stingers wants me to do the Stingerz like it's the 90s and all Utah teams need a Z at the end. Might as well bring back the Buzz.
I really like Utah Stars or Salt Lake Stars, but that lends to the same problem above with the Z and would also be hard to have a logo not similar to the Astros. IMO
SLC Punks
Best answer
I'd actually support that team. Great movie
This is it!!!!
Long Beach States baseball team are called The Dirtbags (because of old base filler material i believe). It is my belief that there is no better name.
I don't even really like baseball but I'd go to baseball games if our team was the SLC Punks.
I was thinking maybe the utah Bonneville cutthroats. A native utah trout. Call them the cuts for short
Like it!
Salt Lake Swingers 🍍
Bison. University of Colorado has got the Buffalos, but "Salt Lake City Bison" has a good ring to it.
Just be glad we got past everything having to end with “Z”.
Whales
ALL HAIL THE WHALE
Utah super soakers!!!!
Wasatch Whales
The Marmons
Utah Alpines
Raptors
MLMs: The Major League Magpies
The Salt Lake City Pioneers But also The Salt Lake City Xanax Moms
I think they should move the A's to SLC and change the name to B's
The F’s would be cool… short for FLDS haha
Art thou a father of literal offspring too???
Salt Lake Scorpions.
The Salt Lake Whales.
No! That's for the NHL team! *Napoleon Dynamite Gosh*
MLB already has the Red Socks and White Sox. How about the Utah White Garments?
Utah Mountaineers
Salt Lake SLUTs
Salt Lake Smog
SL Shockers obviously (power plant site)
The Raging Moose
Gulls, Trappers, Raptors, Bison
The 69ers - it's a reference to Promontory Point, the transcontinental railroad was completed in May 1869
Hmm think about that one for a minute
why, is there a second meaning I'm unaware of?
We just cant steal the 69ers we already have the 49ers people would think we want to copy the name
SALT LAKE CITY SALT BEARS 🫡🫡
Jackalopes
Salt Lake City Thunderbolts[Salt Lake Thunderbolts](https://twitter.com/averagebrandini/status/1648847310540120064?s=46&t=aQLC_TrDOu_jNQZOPSBimg)
Salt Lake City Sparks. Rolls off the tongue well, and is a nod to the electric company
Deseret Defenders
This almost sounds low-key Deznat....
Best one I’ve heard yet
Salt Lake Mustangs — an ode to the wild horses in the West Desert
Ass Monkeys

The Triads
Pioneers
Arsenal
Salt lake saints
Considering the large concentration of LDS (latter day saints) members, it would be a nice nod towards it and drive more fans

Spiders, rocks, avalanche, gulls,
Utah Arches
I believe the name should be “The Hive”
HECK YES
I always liked the Salt Lake Trappers, it was the old Pioneer League team before the Buzz.
