The Utah Coyotes are set to become the latest addition to the NHL, replacing the current Arizona Coyotes and bringing the thrill of professional hockey to Utah for the first time. This move represents an exciting new chapter for the team, offering a chance to create a fresh, dynamic identity that speaks to the unique spirit and landscape of Utah while honoring the legacy and passion of the Arizona Coyotes.

Utah Coyotes

During the rebranding process, I had to consider many factors, especially the transition from Arizona to Utah. With that in mind, I incorporated a Utah mountain skyline into the jersey design while building upon the color palette of Utah’s hockey clubs. My goal was to make this redesign as functional as possible, which led me to create a custom typeface for the jersey numbers and player names. For the logo, I explored multiple variations of a coyote before ultimately selecting the one you see here—undoubtedly the favorite.
