2008 National Champ

You answered your own question. Yeti LLC, by its response, made it known that it was willing to go to court to maintain the singularity of its trademark. Yes, it’s possible the the UHC would ultimately win, but not before a protracted, years-long, and costly court fight. And realize this, Yeti LLC has deeper pockets than the Smith Entertainment…[Read more]

I hate this because it keeps Utah in the new Big 8.

Tony, okay, I give up. How do you do that? I’m following the directions for posting a link on the site.

It really has everything to do with merchandising. In addition to coolers, Yeti sells drinkware, tshirts, hats, camping equipment, etc…with the name “Yeti” affixed to them. These are all things that the Utah “Yeti” would like to sell to their fanbase, also with some version of Yeti branding affixed to it. In addition, the club and the company…[Read more]

RoboUte wasn’t replying to you. He was commenting on the color scheme of the leaked concepts and logos.

Links don’t work.

Yeah, me too…and I’m voting that way tomorrow…it’s also a way to stick it to Yeti LLC legally. The official name will be UHC but the unofficial name, and the one that all fans will use, will be Yetis. Plus, all the merch will have a Yeti, the mascot will be a Yeti, etc…

Etes-vous français?

Same, LOL, and I have season tickets…

Well, it looks like if UHC is selected as the team’s name, they’ll really be the Yetis unofficially. I’m talking the team mascot will be a Yeti, merch will have a Yeti on them, the team will be nicknamed the Yetis by fans and media…there just won’t be anything with the name “Yeti” officially sold by the team or signage in the arena.

No worries Aloha…we’re all family here…and like all families, there are disagreements aplenty on a regular basis. In the words of the esteemed rappers Heavy D and The Boyz, I’ve got nothing but love for you…best regards…

Jim, could be the reason for that attendance is that Logan is a true college town. Lots more things to do on an everyday basis in the SLC metro.

It is profoundly surprising even playing in a lower tier conference. I do know that their arena looks packed for every home game.

I don’t think so. From what I’ve read, one of the main reasons why Outlaws and Mammoth are still around is precisely because they have no copyright issues.

I told another fan at the last home game that it would be great if Utah could find a head coach that could recruit like Larry K and coach like Smith. Those guys do exist but they’re hard to find and not on Utah’s radar.

Utah Utahns…there used to be an ABA team called the Miami Floridians…no kidding, the Heat occasionally wear their jersey on Throwback nights.

It’s strange to explain why you don’t like a proposed team’s name and then say what you’d do if the does go by that name? I guess I’ll just see myself out.

Blizzard is out, also due to trademark infringement.

Hey UteBacker, in the words of John Rambo, he drew first blood. This guy has a habit of immediately engaging in personal attacks on people that post comments he doesn’t agree with and you can look that up. I don’t mind him having a disagreement with my opinions but I could do without the name-calling.
