SI thinks a rebrand is on the way

Winner: New Orleans Humidity

Have steam and fog throughout the arena. Instead of confetti after a win, it starts to rain. For a mascot we could have a giant Sprinkler.

Pelicans, Brass, and the Gators names all sound good to me. Surprised Gators didn't even pop in my mind till I saw it. We got plenty of them around here, and it's something that actually resonates outside of the region. Brass is about as close to the Jazz name as we can get. Could even have a nice trombone or something on the jersey. Pelicans is more nostalgic than anything. Agree that is seems more fitting for a baseball team.

[JPHesterly]

Pelicans is solid

Be careful what you ask for.

At this point I would take Neonights.

[Eman5805]

At this point I would take Neonights.

I would take MudBugs. Don't even care at this point.

Don't want Hornets no more.

lol everyone would leave after their rookie contract.

Another good one would be the New Orleans Hurricanes but...well, you know

I don't think the New Orleans Krewe would really resonate with anyone outside Louisiana. The rest of the country would be like wtf are they a crew and why can't they spell. We really should be the New Orleans Jazz, but I'm sure the 8 black people in Utah don't want to give up that name

[Tip-Off]

At this point I will take just "New Orleans"

[Perth_Hornet]

Can't get rid of the Hornets name

lmao. After every win, the fire alrm goes off with the sprinklers. The only way out is to trample everyone out the way to the exit.

I support Krewe, VooDoo, Sound, Beat

[P Raff]

I feel like every thread on this board either dies, or becomes a thread about rebranding or the draft. Oh yea, and ownership. Not saying its a bad thing, I just find it comical.

The draft, ownership, rebrand, and cable deal are the only things to look forward too. Until the draft lottery, the only excitement we can have is watching Eric Gordon come back Wednesday. We are actually setting a up a great foundation for the future, which is very bright.

Without a doubt. I'm giddy just thinking about our future. As of next year, we're gonna have 5 draft picks from the past three years, four of which came from the lottery. When you add that to a healthy EJ, a healthy Okafor, and the rest of our team, we become playoff contenders immediately.

since when have we cared what the rest of the country thinks about us. In fact, i think that's even more of a reason to rebrand to the KREWE.

I agree with the sentiment but I'm thinking of luring in free agents. FAs originally from LA would love it but others? Maybe not so much. Seems just a little bit too niche for me

[Pilot172000]

That would make me want Krewe even more, because they sure don't care about us as the Hornets. I am speaking about the national media, not our Austalian and European diehards who spend so much time here discussing this team with us.

Eight?

Eight?

Maybe 9.

The name of a team is irrelevant to to FAs. They want money first, winning second, location third. 2 and 3 are often reversed.

Besides, I think the name Krewe will resonate with youths, big name.

What could a new cable deal mean? Would they stick with CST or move to another station that's more accessible to everyone else?

I hate almost everything about CST. They FINALLY updated the graphics for the score board, but all the other graphics are very early 90's-ish. Oh and the music is horrible.

Fox Sports is making a competitive push to get the deal.

[Penuckle]

How about the New Orleans Louisianians.
