Pelican is also some sissy mascot along the line of the Chapel Chipmunks or the Mount Carmel Cubs. I would rather my mascot not be seen as a cute Disney character.

Knights - anyone have some good logos for Knights?
Love the Pelicans. Love the Brass. Nothing but positive vibes for the Voo Doo. The Krewe, however, would be the worst mascot choise sice Auburn got that gimp vulture to fly across the field. In fact, I'll go so far as saying those who want the name "Krewe" are nothing more that front-runners, who would like nothing more to see our team fail and then move to the Pacific Northwest. Please do make my hometown heroes bear this yolk, noose tightenting with each and step.
I am a fan of Voodoo too, but the Brass and Pelicans are absolutely sissy names. I mean what are fans going to say "Oh look the big scawy medal is going to dunky on us...Oh you mean itsa twumpet. Now we scared". And I would rather not cheer for a team with the bird version of Charlie Weiss for a mascot. http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...kb6zyT9h3cfsug http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/a...84_389183a.jpg
Here are my choices: just spitballing
New Orleans Carnival
New Orleans Gators
New Orleans Hurricanes
New Orleans Zydeco
New Orleans Crescents
New Orleans Zombies just a joke haha
New Orleans Shoremen
New Orleans Sportsmen
New Orleans Dixie
No offense, I think Krewe is a terrible name for this team. Yes, you want to have something that resembles the city but also have a name that makes sense to other fans. I'm pretty sure at least 90% of the people outside of Louisiana don't know what "Krewe" resembles.
Don't like Pelicans either. Sounds more of a baseball name to me.
The ones that really make sense are Voodoo and Brass.
new orleans mardi gras
:idoh:
I want Hustlers. It is a play off the Saints (Good vs. Evil), it has a basketball connection, and we could have a pimp in a colorful leopard spotted polyester trench coat for a mascot. Oh and he could have a jester on the top of his motivation stick. I mean imagine the photos with the Honey Bees. Instant success. Where's BigDub?
It's better than Brass or Pelicans :ipuker:
cmon now, stop making threads like these. theres already a stickied rebrand thread
We sure are getting alot of new members since Benson mentioned rebrand.
if someone could offer the Swap Donkeys as their final suggestion, I was thinking I might be able to come up with one of my own...you are welcome to boo one too, but what would you think about the New Orleans Tradition?
But Mardi Gras comes from places like France. It doesn't "represent" 'us'.
Not all traditions "represent" 'us'. Mardi Grad represents France, right? Voodoo, Caribbean. Brass, the Mediterranean.
I feel like Blaqmoon now. All of this rebrand talk has me sick of it.
You sir, have failed epically!
Again not being from N.O. I cant say if this name makes sense, but what about the New Orleans Wardens. I was just thinking of how the city is divided in 17 wards. I doesnt really have a ring to it though.
yeah
New Orleans ArcAngels
Anthony Davis: "Yeah, it's exciting, I'm excited to be an ArcAngel."
ehhh. Not too sure about that.
New Orleans Reapers.
NOLA Reapers.
Man, it's growing on me like the Venom symbiote!
The more I think about this, arent some of these names (mine included) we are coming up with a little too menacing for the NBA? I mean, think of all the team names in the league right now: Spurs, Suns, Nets, Knicks, Kings and so forth. All pretty tame. And the teams with somewhat "hardcore" names arent striking fear in anyone with their logos or colors. You got to think of this from a marketing standpoint 1rst and the local flavor second. You want the team to have fans not only in New Orleans but everywhere.
new orleans soul, beat or rhythm. Thats what im going with.
Don't Fear the Reaper... built in taunt and a cool tune... can jam out to the other team taunting us...
Yup. I'm sold. No more arguing for any other name. I got it bad, so bad...hot for Reaper.
The "colors" of New Orleans are blue, gold, and white. Too me, that seems like it could be a nice color scheme. I put this together real quick:

The three different blues are from that blue dog we see all over the city, and the gold is the Saints gold.
Well the Bobcats are a bit better than their record. Injuries, plus what seems like total ignorance on the part of Paul Silas as well players seemingly quitting for much of the season is why the Bobcats will end the season as the worst NBA team of all time. Also much of the key players from the playoff run a few years back have been traded for lesser parts. A rebuild was necessary for the team. Overpriced players left the team devoid of cap room and the team could not really improve and were only good enough for maybe two more playoff appearances that led nowhere. Rather than go through that only to rebuild, the team started rebuilding sooner rather than later. With Rich Cho being GM we hope the team can improve quickly. Hopefully we get the first pick but if not the draft appears to be fairly deep so a player of star caliber could be drafted. No matter what I can guarantee you the team will finish with at least 25 to 30 wins next seasaon. That is if they fire Paul Silas and get a better fit at head coach.
