Yes. Brees has sponsorships on Facebook and Twitter and pimps those companies. The more hits, retweets, and followers he has, the more money he can get, I would imagine. Marketing.

I'm not keen on Pelicans. I do love New Orleans Domino! Domino is a Latin word for Lord or Master and the root word of dominate. Also, it's the name for the half mask worn at masquerades or balls and the name of the famous nola musician Fats Domino!
I would like to see a logo that is Domino spelled with the NOLA street tiles.
Jesus. Clowns are calling in talking about Vampires as a team name.

“We were the meat capital of the world,” said Klein at the time. “At first, I was thinking of names like Matadors (funny how that worked out given today’s Matadors) or Toreadors, but if you think about it, no team with as many as three syllables in its nickname has ever had much success except for the Canadians. I was sitting around the house, kicking these names around with my wife and three sons, when my little son Mark said, ‘Dad, that’s a bunch of bull!’ I said, ‘That’s it! We’ll call them the Bulls!’ And that’s how the team got its nickname.”
After 2-3-4 years from now, there will only be 3 or 4 players remaining from this 2012 team at best, that's how NBA works. Today I'm on this team, and tomorrow I will be playing for the rival.
How many players from the Hornets roster of 2 years ago are still on the team? I'm going to tell you:
Only 1 and it's Jason Smith.
That's why someone identifies himself MOSTLY because of the NAME, the COLOURS and the LOGO. Because the players come and leave (the NBA is just a trading cards game) but the IDENTITY of a team will always remain.
So if logo's, team colors, and team names are linked than why are the 1st 2 of the 3 change all the time?
Yes logo's can be connected to the team name but just because they can be linked don't mean they have to be. Somebody used the Lakers logo as an example. Which is simply the team name over a basketball. It could just as easily be the letters LA over the basketball in the same font and it wouldn't change anything.
Maybe you glossed over it, maybe you missed it, but please read this post:

What I often wonder is why does a team nickname need to be shortened at all? Are people too lazy to speak full words these days? :hihi:
I was shocked that Tony and Mike on PTI were very reasonable they said they like the name and how it is the state bird. And plus Mike said everytime he said Hornets he thought of Charlotte and not New Orleans.
And if some had to choose between Bounce and Pelicans they're choosing Pelicans.

Some would choose poboys and some would choose lasagna. Life is full of choices. :hihi:
I hate the name Pelicans, but if you can't get past it then just stop watching them. It's the dumbest thing to get upset about. I would rathered literally any other name, but I will get over it. Trailblazers suns heat lakers magic pacers thunder spurs are all "dumb" names. It's pointless to get upset about something that doesn't effect anything basketball related at all. Who gives a **** if people are laughing I was laughing at Thunder.
Bounce was one of the worst in my opinion. Equally as bad as Nets.
I'll take Pelicans over Nets, Magic, Bounce, Wizards, Heat, Thunder, cRaptors, Bobcats, T wolves, Knicks, Lakers everytime.
Bounce is turrible. Not great as a genre of music and even worse as a team name. Just turrible
And honestly i am fine with being the laughing stock.
On the flip side if our football team re-branded to "The Saints" today...people would be saying the same things. THE SAINTS WTF!!!?!? What are they gonna do bless people? Pray that they win? Maybe they'll throw holy water into opponents eyes.
Metaphorically speaking, it's 1:55 a.m., and people's heads are in the same state. Last night, it was, say, 11:30 p.m.
People discussing our name change on espn. Saying it's horrible like i think. EMBARRASSING
Chad Johson just said to name the team to the New Orleans Second Line.
It took one day for me not to hate this name anymore.
