I expect Voodoo to fade in the this pole

Nooooo!

The New Orleans Brass is perfect. New Orleans is known for its music, food and culture. The Brass is a very cool name that would promote the New Orleans Music Scene to the Country and the World. I attended the Hornets, Pacers game in March and the guys playing the Saxaphone and drums between time outs and quarters were outstanding and truly added to the game experience. I saw Hugh Weber at the game and made a point to tell him how entertaining the live music was and he told me they were planning on expanding it next year. As a youngster I will never forget going to the early Saints games in Tulane Stadium and hearing Al Hirt play his trumpet with his band, it was electric and really amped up the crowd. The New Orleans Brass is a Winner!!!!

There is music in Mardi Gras, so the music aspect will be encompassed by it.

I moved away about 6 years ago. When I think of New Orleans I think of the Saints, the unique buildings, Bourbon Street, the Quarter...I do not think of Brass or Brass bands. I think of Jazz. I think of the rhythm and spirit of the city. To me Mardi Gras is the biggest event in the city that brings all that together. Being part of a "Krewe" that reps the city no matter where I go has a Who Dat feel to it. Who Dat Nation/Krewe of Orleans. I can tell people I am apart of the Krewe and in 5 years they would know exactly what I am talking about. I do not have the same feeling about Brass. Brass is boring, mediocre. Brass is a very small scale association symbol. I am not trying to knock it. I understand its meaning and significance to New Orleans, but to me Krewe has much bigger potential to being meaningful and uniquely ours.

'Who Dat Nation' is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard associated with the Saints and it was only dreamed up by Hebert like three or four years ago.

I debated even posting that because I agree. I was trying to point out the association that I feel with the city/fans being an out of state fan. I guess I should have put Who Dats/Krewe of Orleans?

Brass Krewe of New Orleans.

[Rugger]

Krewe of Orleans will kick your Brass?

[Eman5805]

New Orleans Brass Krewe Voodoo.

[daybreaker]

"Krewe of New Orleans" I think is a unique New Orleans name with enough history to make it relatable to people who want to visit the city. I dont think it's *so* unique that it rubs it in everyone else's face how different we are.

If they go for New Orleans Krewe, however, I am 100% against it.

Also, just think of all the SYNERGY we would get with KREWE DAT? (this last line was sarcasm... dont worry)

I gotcha. I'm still sort of lukewarm on Krewe. Part of me thinks it's cool but another part thinks it's a bit too 'local' if that makes any sense. Believe me, I'm rarely one to care what the outside world thinks of the city and its teams but I would prefer if they didn't look at it and say: 'wtf is that?'

New Orleans Brass Krewe Voodoo.

Brassy Krewe of New Orleans Voodoo.

[The JNR]

Maybe you've just forgotten since you've been living elsewhere, but not many people from here give two ****s whether or not someone from outside of NOLA gets it or us.

Of course I haven't forgotten. I just don't think "we don't give two ****s if you get us" is a good business model. Again, just what I think.

[IamQuailman]

I still like Voodoo the best (Krewe = geeky, Brass = ugly stepchild to Jazz), but vow to respect the will of the people

[Luke's Pelicans]

More I think on it I would be happy with any of these 3.

[Eman5805]

Problems with each name as I see it from other responses:

Krewe: Too quirky and stilted to resonate and causes more questions and fewer "That's a nice names"

Brass: Borrowed name from hockey team, feels like a poor man's substitute to jazz

Voodoo: Perfect name, but is already taken


I'm down with all these names plus the Arc(h)Angels.

What is taken can be... repossessed!

New Orleans Krewe - Horrid

Krewe of NOLA - Awesome

One reason to not go with the Brass name is because the name can be altered and made fun of by other fan bases as in scratching out the Br in Brass or adding holes to the end of the name. Just saying

I still haven't decided out of the 3. Tough choice. I'm leaning towards VooDoo out of these 3.

[Mr. West]

Wow Krewe and Brass have got a good race going, don't they?

No, make your vote count. Vote Krewe
