NBA files for trademarks for the Hornets and the names are...

[NewOrleansBBall]

We should be the New Orleans Golden Eagles, for this video alone:

That is one of the craziest, funniest, not funniest, horrifying and incredible things I have ever seen...

Wow...lol

[Teal Lantern]

100% behind Rougarou. I didn't think Benson was considering folklore, but that is far superior to derpbirds. Rougarou! Rougarou!

[Pelicans23]

I'll take Rougarou out of these.

[NSFW]

This is ritarded...if its anything other than Pelicans it might as well be called the Louisiana whatevers...New Orleans is not swamps and cajun folklore, Louisiana is. The original names everyone was clamoring for is way more NOLA than this pile of crap.

[hagios]

Anyone else here call it a "Loup Garou?" And I always thought of Loup Garou like a swamp-boogeyman rather than a straight-up werewolf. I'd never even heard of "Rougarou" until I saw that silly Cajun Justice episode a few months ago.

Yes. You've heard "Loup Garou" because that is how it's actually spelled. It is French not some made up language. Did I miss anything, or is "Cajun Justice" the only place where anyone has actually ever seen it spelled this way?

This is fake. If you are gonna name a team, you wouldn't make it a "swamp misspelling" of an odd French word.

Although, I do think Loup Garous are pretty awesome.

Selfish much? Jeez dude. I don't see a problem with picking a name that represents the state as a whole or New Orleans. After all pelicans is the STATE mascot, don't see you crying about that.

[DC-Hornet]

If they select anyone of those dumb a** names, I will be done with this franchise.

Tell me how some Swamp Bull**** represents New Orleans....it doesn't.

Alligators are found no where near here. What are they thinking

[eballa1]

Apparently Loup Garou is the original french version and Rougarou is the cajun version. I have always heard Loup Garou too

Me too. We could use the display at the Audubon Zoo for our mascot.

Does part way down Lafitte Larose highway count as nowhere near?

How in the world does a made up creature, basically BIGFOOT, represent this state? If you think Pelicans was scoffed at, well I can't wait for the national media to get wind of this.

[bustahyndes]

Voodoo or Knights nothing else

Same way the Jersey Devil was enough to represent a pro hockey team I suppose.

Or Raptors represents Toronto.

[Panic Hoops]

Hoop Garou!

Rougarou --- fits with Benson's Catholic roots. Don't observe Lent or the Rougarou is going to get chu. Friday Night in the Swamp brought to you by Rouses fresh crawfish, you suck da heads or Rougarou going to get chu.

I didn't mind Pelicans, and I thought Rougarou was a joke word, but have to admit, its growing on me.... but then again, I observe lent.

Mascot could be Roux, the smiling, happy werewolf like creature...support the Rougarou little kids or I'm going to get CHU!

This guy didn't observe lent. How can you not love a mascot that thirst for the blood of bad Catholics?
