Should've forced Utah to change their name and give them back the Jazz.

worst thing about the Pelicas would be not having a real short form for it. Pels?
Every other team in the league with more than 2 syllables has some sort of short form. Blazers, Wolves, Cavs, Mavs, ..


edit: mh, I guess 'Cans could work. that just sounds like scrap metal though.
Pels doesn't sound that bad

again, i like Pelicans. but just thinking of New Orleans Brass once more. man
they could've had a nice trumpet as the logo. dang

This has to be a joke. What a horrible nickname.

Pelicans are such awkward birds. They move in to my part of the country every summer because a lot of our lakes have spillways and they nab fish out of them. They're gigantic, for one thing. Out on the lake they look like Disney rides.

Yeah I think Krewe would have been too real of a name for Stern to approve lol

But finally the Hornets return to The City.

Charlotte basketball is about to take a turn for the better.. cant wait

A Pelicans sports team was around in New Orleans than the Saints, Hornets, Voodoo, Brass, Zephyrs, etc. People called them the Pels. Some people would even argue that Pelicans has more historic value than the Saints. I love it.

How bout the New Orleans Mardi Gras?

Their logo could be a nice pair of big ol' titties

I'd make a joke that you'd like a racial slur as a nickname if it was picked for New Orleans, but I'm a fan of the Indians.
