I wanted to hate the new team name but it is awesome

It's cool but why are they The Mammoth (singular) and not The Mammoths (plural). It's not like Thunder or Heat where it's kind of an abstract thing. Seems weird to not pluralize mammoth

This and Seattle names and logos are both excellent.

Top marks.

Fun fact, there are efforts under way to bring the wooly mammoth back via cloning. Think Jurassic Park with furry elephants. First clones are expected within the next few years.

Boo. They had an amazing opportunity to be the first American pro team outside of MLS with a normal name. They should've just stayed Utah HC. Instead, they go the typical 14-year-olds-will-think-it-cool Murican sports team name.

Go Chattanooga Angry Animals of Some Kind. Or something.

Excellent, then bring back dinosaurs and the black plague.

Because mammoth is also an adjective. I'm guessing they're trying to evoke both meanings.

Yes it’s very good and I love the color way. People are saying it looks like a create a team on madden or whatever but I think it’s absolutely incredible. You can’t please everyone. 10/10 design and colors

The Bulls are the only NBA team to never change their logo and it’s so fierce people who aren’t Bulls fans wear it. I go up to people on the street wearing Bulls gear and ask them who they’re hoping we get in the draft and they look at me all confused and then tell me they’re not Bulls fans and they just like the logo.

A few weeks after the Bucks won the title in 2021 I saw a guy with a Bucks t-shirt (which never happens here). I went up to him, gave him a thumbs up and said "Congratulations!". The guy had no idea what I was talking about, lol. Probably just thought the deer looked cool.

Apparently they can't bring back dinosaurs because the DNA is too old or something.

I don't think bringing back the black plague would be a good idea on account of people dying a horrible painful death. For the same reason, I wouldn't be in favor of cloning Hitler, the more I read about that fellow, the less I care for him. To paraphrase a famous thinker.

To be honest, that logo is amazing and it always reminds those phenomenal 90s. It would be meaningless to change it.
