Yahoo Sports report pelicans name is the name {merged}

[luckyman]

"Carmello Anthony, you are now the face of the franchise named after underpants."
"Kobe Bryant, you are now a proud member of a team best represented by a moderately sized body of water."
"Deron Williams, welcome to the Nets! That thing that, you know, you throw the ball through. Why didn't we call ourselves the Hoops? That's just silly."
"Dwyane Wade, we hope that your shot will be just like our team name."

"Anthony Davis, it is time for you to gobble up the rest of the league like our namesake does to everything it sees."

Can't use that. Language changes with time. You don't hear people in New York calling everything funny or good "a riot" nowadays do you? i never thought Heat was bad, just a bit awkward to hear a name without an "s" at the end back then.

Peilicans though? It's Disney World. Now and forever.

He is not wanting to leave the Bucks because of the team name. That is just a ridiculous argument.

I'm jokin man...just jokes....sweet lord did you not see the LOL. I'm not saying no one would play for us cuz of the name. I'm looking at it from a marketing standpoint mostly.

[FlyGirl]

LOL actually yeah it does.....Jennings is on the next thing smokin in the offseason if he's not traded and Ellis was traded there....

I don't think that's because of the name though.

Edit: Nevermind. I just saw your jokin post to Kibner.

Eman where'd you get those designs?

[nolaslim213]

Indeed. I'm using that a lot.

You mean..... PelicIN-DEED, right? .....right?

[DroopyDawg]

Can't please everybody. I'm digging the pelicans though. At first I hated it but as time went by it grew on me. Lets see those colors and unis.

Time to stop the Pelicinsanity.

I kind of like it, but I've grown up with Hornets, so it's going to take some time to adjust. Pelicans sounds pretty good and makes a lot of sense locally. I just hope it catches on.

[LoneyROY7]

This is on some WNBA sh*t.

[Hornetnojersey]

Is this official? That court is cool and the front of the second jersey. I'm still hoping for the Mardi Gras colors

[DroopyDawg]

the silver lining I see is that our mascot's pecker would probably be the envy of the league....

Winner!

[Purple Haze]

Don't like the white on the side of the one Eman posted but overall not bad.

[Eman5805]

Nope. But it's something some guy made on Photoshop or whatever. And it looks that good. Imagine if BigDub is working on a uni concept? He'll be sure to knock one out the stratosphere. I'd forgotten about how sweet that color scheme is.

[da ThRONe]

Oh God no!

Seriously. I can't friggin wait.

[luckyman]

Can only hope there is some salvation with the jersey. Please dont let that be a train wreck too.

[nolaslim213]

Oh God no!

This is the first thing you and I have ever agreed on.

[da ThRONe]

It was bound to happen eventually. But why did it have to be this.

[Make It Rain]

Wow that is absolutely incredible. I like a lot

lol @ people gettin' all worked up. This league is chock-full of terrible names. I mean, really, most of them are terrible at face value. But teams create "the brand" through winning and time.

You can't spell "Pelican" without I CAN, biznatches!

Language changes with time but not this language!

Let it all out. Let the tantrum flow!

No matter how you dress up the justification....the name is still wack. Its true almost all NBA names are wack....but this one is the wackest. I mean what can you shorten it to.. the Pels...that wack too. Just shortened wackness. LOL.

[Silverfoxx]

This is by far the worst sports name right now. I challenge anyone to verbally say "New Orleans Pelicans".... u cant tell me that doesnt sound goofy and bad.
