"The Trenton Ironhawks will be the name of the relocated Utah Grizzlies franchise. The team held a naming contest that received over 2,000 submissions (unfortunately none of our submissions from part one or part two were winners). The team name was announced on Tuesday morning with a fan event held at their new home of Cure Insurance Arena that event."
"The Ironhawks name pays tribute to the city's industrial past, specifically the iron industry. The league's official press release goes onto to explain that the name honors "Trenton's proud past as an industrial powerhouse" while Trenton's mayor added the name "reflects Trenton's industrial roots and the strength and resilience that define this community." Trenton s famously a manufacturing hub, with a local landmark sign on a bridge proudly displaying the phrase "Trenton makes, the world takes"."
"The team's main logo was also revealed as a steel riveted hawk clutching a hockey stick with its claws. The primary colors are grey and blue, to represent steel, with red accents to represent the fire needed to forge the iron and the team's new intensity. The logo was created in partnership with the team and local marketing agency Adapting Social."
