He/him. Fan of the Utah Jazz, Utah Mammoth, BYU, and DC Comics. Obsessive reviewer of sports logos and newspapers in comic books. Profile pic is me racing in the 2023 Walt Disney World Marathon, dressed as the Genie after he was freed.
I’m amazed at the level of detail they put into that paper!

The Kansas City Scouts also relocated this season, moving to Denver. They were renamed the Colorado Rockies (not to be confused with the future baseball team). And since the Scouts already had red, white, blue and yellow uniforms, the Rockies decided to just use the Colorado state flag as the logo.

Dallin H. Oaks was the president of BYU, a member of the Utah Supreme Court, and is currently the president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My parents didn't name me after him explicitly, but his prominence did make the name Dallin kind of popular in Utah. So now you know.

And in case you were wondering, my name is sort of inspired by the artist Cyrus Dallin. His other most famous work was the golden angel on top of the Salt Lake Temple. In 1932, a pregnant Stella Oaks got to meet Dallin and was so impressed by him, she named her first-born son after him, Dallin Oaks.

The other expansion team went to Kansas City, where they originally wanted to be called the Mohawks. But the Chicago Black Hawks objected, saying it was too close to their name. After holding a fan contest, Kansas City settled on Scouts, inspired by a 1915 statue called The Scout by Cyrus E. Dallin.
