    Intimidation factor has never been the issue. For most people that don't like it, it's just because it sounds stupid for a pro basketball team. Jazz wasn't intimidating but everyone loved that name.

    Didn't he say he got contacted? His absence can only be a good thing! He's not on the other sites, either.

    Actually, they're such strong bandwagoners that they don't even truly realize the shambles that franchise is in. They're comebacks have to do with being up on the Hornets in standings.


    Pshhhtt. Not for long.

    Man.

    I've loved everything about the Hornets (logo, colors, jerseys, etc) dating back to their days in Charlotte. I remember being so excited and happy that one of my favorite teams was coming to my state. I've managed to get my hands on several different NO Hornets jerseys (Mash, B. Diddy, CP3, etc) and I consider their current look to be among the NBA's best of all-time. The style and color of the jerseys evoke a party atmosphere, a party like only New Orleans can hold. Their look embraces New Orleans while staying true to their Charlotte roots, and holding to their history, both good and bad.

    "Hornets means nothing" be damned. Regardless of whether Pelicans fits New Orleans better or not, this 21-year-old Charlotte/New Orleans Hornets fan from Baton Rouge, Louisiana will greatly miss HIS Hornets.

    And before anyone asks, no, slapping a coat of Hornets paint on the Bobcats won't help one bit, no matter who says otherwise. The Kings will never be the real Sonics, and the Bobcats will never be the real Hornets. History can be twisted, but it can never be changed.

    High schooler from St Paul's here and the exact situation you described happens at my school. They also fail to realize there are worse names such as the knicks and lakers. And I totally agree with you on the liking the name.

    that man gave A LOT of money to that school... the little practice gym in the Ridgley Center and the "Mall" as it's called is named after him

    As long as we have a cool logo it will help me get over the name quicker.

    Knicks and Lakers aren't worse. Knickerbockers was a popular term in those old days. I'd love New Orleans Lakers. Makes a lot of sense here.

    Are we going to fly a live Pelican around the arena before every home game now? Have a fish tossing contest straight from lake Pontchartrain at halftime? How about a race to see which one can stuff down the most CBD Pigeons?

    Endless possibilities tell ya.

    Haha good point but its the people that have no idea what the names significance is and say "oh they Kobe and Carmelo therefore everything about cant be topped and everything is perfect about them". I didn't necessarily mean the names are bad but these bandwagon fans make them seem amazing but do a poor job explaining why they are causing me to completely contradict them.

    Sorry for tangent. I don't like to talk too much shown by the 19 posts. Haha

    New Orleans Carnival was my preference, but Pelicans is what it is. I'll get merchandise and support the team regardless.

    Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams

    Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston

    Whether your joking or being sarcastic (I can never tell with you), I think you're obviously taking this way too literal. Not many other teams do stuff with their mascot like that.

    The Bucks don't let a freaking deer run loose before tipoff to get everyone pumped up, nor do the T-Wolves. The Heat don't make the arena a sauna. So on and so forth.

    And as for what the media thinks; do they think real highly of us as is?

    Not so fast bro. We don't do abstract here in Louisiana. Ever been to Baton Rouge? Even still, I think it'd be cooler than heck if they let a big 30 point Buck scare the crap out of an opposing team, or a pack of T-Wolves roam around the other team's bench in Target center. Get some hot chicks off South Beach, turn up the heat so they have to get almost naked and distract the other team straight to victory.

    Then, come here and unleash the PELICANS!

    I think It's going to be sweet. Remember, they are counting on this to make a BOAT LOAD of jack. Surely, they get this right. (They will, and please don't call them Shirley)
