The Utah Hockey Club is just a few weeks away from playing its first-ever game in the National Hockey League. While it may not have a proper name, logo, uniform, or sensible franchise timeline yet, it does now have a commemorative inaugural season logo.

The Hockey Club released the special logo today via a video posted to their official X account. The logo is shaped like a pennant with three mountain peaks at the top, similar in style to the design on the new Utah state flag. Within this black peaked pennant is the Utah Hockey Club logo near the bottom and a black banner draped across with 2024 2025 in white. The entire logo is trimmed in powder blue.

I’m hoping Utah wears this as a patch on their uniforms to give their set a little extra life this season, but I’m not optimistic.

Looking back, the inaugural season logo is pretty solid compared to what we’ve seen from the NHL. There’s a clear lean toward shield-like shapes and banners (except for that oval phase from 1999-2000), but that’s just typical of most commemorative season logos overall.

Also revealed today was Utah’s centre ice design (at least what they’re using at their practice facility), which again is this inaugural season logo. The best touch, though, is the little state maps of Utah inside the red line. We love it.

Earlier this off-season, Utah Hockey Club revealed their uniforms, which are black at home and white on the road, and both feature “UTAH” written diagonally down the front. The team is currently in the process of choosing their actual team name and developing a permanent identity, but it will not be used on-ice until the 2025-26 season. Last we heard, there were six possible names the team was considering: Utah Blizzard, Utah Hockey Club, Utah Mammoth, Utah Outlaws, Utah Venom, or Utah Yeti.
