Oh God! I'd rather keep Hornets
lol you actually made me look that up.. i was like wait.. IS Big Bird a pelican? ahahah
per wiki :
Quote:
The book "G" is for Growing: Thirty Years of Research on Children and Sesame Street refers to Big Bird as a canary.[8] In an episode of Sesame Street, Big Bird was asked if he was related to the cassowary, he replied, "I'm more of a condor." On a 1976 episode of Hollywood Squares, he said he was a lark, causing host Peter Marshall to crack up.[9] In the film Don't Eat the Pictures, Osiris calls Big Bird an ibis. Big Bird appeared in a series 11 episode of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, in which he declares he is a "Golden Condor". Regardless he is always described as being flightless.
If this is the new name change, then a little part of me inside will die.
KEEP THE HORNETS "THE HORNETS"!!!!
Do not incur my wrath, StarFoxx.
If we cant be the Krewe of New Orleans, I dont mind Pelicans.
I'd rather keep the hornets for the next 50 years than change to the name to pelicans.
I don't like Pelican at all for a basketball name. Doesn't fit well.
I like em.
That has to be a joke, right? That looks like something my 4yr old cousin would draw.
I'm not feelin' the Pelicans. Waiting for the color scheme and uni concepts. I hope they don't suck as much as the name does.
alright, the only way this can happen, is if were called the rusty pelicans
This is 100% true. People are so quick to cry about this, even with the memory that Spirit and Angels were once primary names as well, and nothing came of that either. I have names I like better than others, but I'm just excited that the rebrand will be happening. Even if it's Krewe I won't complain about it.
New Orleans is all about great music. The New Orleans Brass is a winner hands down.
New Orleans is about Mardi Gras as well. New Orleans Carnival would be the next best thing to the New Orleans Jazz.
Feel this should be duplicated.

I think that most of us would agree the best option is bringing the "Jazz" name back home.
but since that more than likely won't happen... I will cheer for whatever the artist formerly known as the New Orleans Hornets will be called. I will buy their merchardise, I will go to games when I can, and I will cheer them unconditionally... and I'd hope all of you bemoaning the "Pelicans" name do the same... even if they are called the Pelicans (or shortened to Pels)
either way... it'll mostly be about the look... and I hope they come up with a look we all agree with... no matter what the name eventually becomes
I'm not in love with Pelicans......but it's better than most of the names I've heard.....so I can deal with it.
voodoo
still hoping.
God that sounds awful
My defiance gene is making me want Pelicans now.
As well as Voodoo cuz that'll cheese off WDC.
Hm. New Orleans Voodoo Pelicans.
Someone say this is a bad joke. Just keep the Hornets!!! This team will be a laughingstock with the name The Pelicans!
If your answer is "Keep the Hornets" then you're already lost to us.
Honestly...... I don't give a **** what the name is.. I just wanna see some ball!
It's the silly logic that our name needs to be something intimidating. Like teams will give a damn. If the Cats (really, Charlotte?) rebranded to the Destruction Sharks from Krypton would that make their team suck any less based on what people think of their team name?
I want Voodoo and Krewe. But whatever. It's a Louisiana name and no more Hornets is the most important thing.
Awesome name for our team :) By the way i go to a ULL, asked people all over social websites and walked within the city of N.O. and NO ONE liked the "New Orleans Pelicans". NO ONE. NO ONE. NO ONE.

I will say i like Krewe or Voodoo more then Pelicans... But if we are the New Orleans Murder Birds (which will be MY name for em) so be it.
Like it REALLY matters..... After a year of being the Pelicans or whatever they become no one will care.
I will care lol
I don't know about you guys but i can't see myself sporting a pelicans anthony davis jersey.
I guess the names "New Orleans laughing-stocks", "N.O Jokes", and "Louisiana Lame names" were already taken right?!
Yea the Knicks, Magic, Thunder, Bobcats, Lakers, Nuggets, Nets, Bucks, Wizards, Kings are sooooooooo much better then Pelicans.
I mean if you really think about it MOST team names are "jokes" "lame" and "stupid".
Dunno bout you guys but i watch basketball for basketball not because I think the "team name is awesome!"
I'm going to support the team regardless but some of u kill me thinking that ur bigger fans because u like every name in the rebrand thread.
