This whole rebranding had the opportunity to be something fun for the overwhelming majority of NOLA basketball fans. Now it quickly become a toxic topic that can push many fans away. As much as I've embraced this team since day one the fact that so many could be so strongly against it and that goes ignored just doesn't sit well with me.
I'm not going to say anything overboard, but I can see this pushing people away and honestly I can't blame anybody for turning their backs on this franchise.
Again: Pelicans in the Finals... you in or out?

btw... for those who haven't read it yet... google "deadspin pelicans" and read that article about the name (adult language... esp the F-bomb in the title is why I'm not linking it here)... very compelling case about why Pelicans is an awesome name

"The pelican is fearsome. Take a raven, for example: it's omnivorous. It eats bugs, and seeds, and fruit, and carrion. Compared to the well-rounded citizen that is the raven, the pelican is the serial killer of birds." - Barry Petchesky, Deadspin
All i want is a cool logo. Please don't give me somthing like what DC has
As a fan who is not a big fan of pelicans, it really will.
I get what ur saying. Most borderline fans will be turned off by the name change. I a know of a few die hards that didn't want it to change because of the love their kids had for Hugo or just because they thought the Pelicans was a stupid name. Hopefully the name will grow on people.
So you are saying you care more about our name than the actual franchise? You care more about the Pelicans name than the excitement of watching Davis, Gordon, Rivers, and Anderson grow together? About Monty and Demps? About local ownership?
Hmm.....
We could be named the New Orleans Butt-Munchers for all I care, and I'd still support this franchise. It's about more than just a name.
