    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.

    No your opinion on where you place your passion and money is never irrelevant.

    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

    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.

    let me say this... just a few years ago... Thunder was a stupid name... the logo looked dumb and the uniforms were bland as all get-up.

    now... no one talks about that at all... they buy the merch and the team is popular

    it'll grow on everyone over time

    I agree somewhat. Much of the popularity is because of the players, not the name. Hopefully, Pelicans will fall in that category as well with Davis, Gordon, Anderson...
