Controversy Looming After Artist Exposes the Utah Hockey Club for Stealing Logo Design

After 12 months of speculation and rumours on the situation, the Utah Hockey Club is officially no more, as the organization finally announced their change, revealing the Utah Mammoth name and their new logo.

While the name has seen some mixed reactions, the logo has been highly praised, with their new jerseys appearing to be fantastic, with the team now having arguably one of the best looks in the entire NHL.

It's not all good for owner Ryan Smith and the organization however, as one artist has taken to social media to accuse the organization of stealing their logo, one that was floating around on social media after being posted back in Februray.

While the artist known as Blue Shells Hockey didn't explicitly say theft or accuse the franchise of stealing the design, instead giving them this message while asking for compensation of some type.

While it's not exactly identical, it's easy to see why Blue Shells Hockey is looking at the immense similarities between the two designs, with both being full of details and absolutely incredible.

It's unclear if something will ever come of this, with the organization claiming all the details of their new design as their own, but it's definitely a story to monitor as the Utah Mammoth are officially born.
