LOL!
Brilliant. 
Thanks, guys. How the heck did I miss all those? Sigh.
I can deal with the Freemason's Universal, but... dang. I hate blue and purple.  (That's also my frustration with the X-Marks the Scot tartan -- which I want to use, but can't bring myself to like.)

Go to http://www.tartanregister.gov.uk/index.aspx type lodge in the search - there are about another five.

For the same reasons that there can be no universally accepted tartan for a religion the same holds true for for the noble Craft of Freemasonry.
Each Grand Lodge is its own authority and can, indeed authorise a tartan for itself but that is not binding upon any other Grand Lodge whatsoever. A rite is still under the authority of an individual Grand Lodge which again is not binding upon another GL practicing a rite.
It is nice to have permission to wear the tartan agreed by the GL of Utah, but it would not still be recognised by my own GL - the United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) which also covers Wales!

Is recognition necessary for wearing it? I don't believe my Grand Lodge recognizes the Utah tartan either, but I think that's partly because the mere question would raise eyebrows here in Texas.

No of course it isn't but no GL, even if interested in a tartan, is going to accept that of another officially as representing the Craft.
I would refer you back to post #9 in this thread where the link to the Grand Lodge of Scotland (the closest to the land of Tartans  ) explains precisely why there can be no universal Masonic tartan.
If your GL permits you to wear tartan at Lodge then wear it with pride whatever tartan it is.
