The Alliance of American Football, a new league that will begin play next February, released the nicknames and logos for the Alliance East last week. On Tuesday morning, the league unveiled its Alliance West nicknames and logos — including the Salt Lake franchise.
“The name Stallions honors the spirit of the region and the rumbling presence of horsepower, inspired by Utah’s famed Bonneville Salt Flats, where world land speed records have have been set and broken for decades,” Salt Lake coach Dennis Erickson said in a team statement.
The new franchise’s team colors will be sky blue, royal blue and silver, a scheme inspired by the blue sky off of the Great Salt Lake and the silver tips of the Wasatch Mountains, according to the team release.
