PELICANS, KREWE or BRASS

[B504ever]

With the rumored three names (Pelicans, Krewe and Brass) Benson was deciding between. Which name would you have preferred ?

[Bee-Fense]

Krewe

[Eman5805]

This'll be pelicIN-teresting.

[takezor]

You should put another option

- NONE

[RUFshreve]

Out of those three, Krewe.

[harschman]

Krewe is cool with only New Orleans. Brass sounds like we wanted Jazz back, but couldn't get is so we went 2nd rate. Pelicans is unique and encompasses Louisiana. The first time I heard it I didn't like it, but I like it now. I think I like it more now that so many people hate it.

[Pelicans78]

Neither of these 3.

[Eman5805]

You should put another option

- NONE

As in a different name or none as in you prefer we stay Hornets? If the latter, yeah your opinion is worth less than a large sum of money.

[RUFshreve]

Voodoo is still the best name for this team.

[groundpatty]

"Krewe of New Orleans" would be the best... but Pelicans is still good for me.

[Tip-Off]

I think you guys know where I stand, but anything is better than being called the Charlotte Hornets.

^^ What he said

[luckyman]

Brass, Krewe, Angels, Cardinals, Cardinal, Pilots, Arc Angels. I could stomach all of those. But nooooooooo. They pick the one name that makes me sad.

^ I'm with you, I think everyone will hardly care once it actually happens. Honestly, I think I've heard us called the charlotte hornets at least ten times by other teams announcers just in the last two weeks.

[Purple Haze]

Wow, it's almost like we already did this poll or something. Deja vu?

[luckyman]

Okay what Pelican boot licker created multiple IDs? From 5 to 14 in less than an hour, after sitting stagnant and in 3rd place eh?

[ImSorryMonty]

I voted Pelicans. Brass and Krewe are too close to WNBA/AFL team names. I would rather Angels/Cardinals/Bucs etc but an NBA team has to be generic and it is very much that.

[Eman5805]

LOL @ the results right now. Something fishy goin' down. Hehe.

[CarnbY]

Pilots, Arc Angels

These you can stomach but not Pelicans? I swear some of you people are bat**** insane! No offense, but it just blows my mind...

[LAHornet85]

All,

"The Pelicans" is seriously bad. You can tell no test groups were done about this. NBA teams need to be marketed to young guys, and no young guy wants to sport a Pelicans hat.

Don't spam the forums, dude. Put it in your sig, and leave it at that.

Link to a poll done on this a while back - Brass was the clear winner

If you can't convincingly win this poll as the pelicans that just seems like an issue because you won't find more people who like that name than in here and it's still not the favorite. They need to do it the same way every other name change haplens in the NBA... give us 4 choices and let the fans decide

There was a poll done on this.

A poll of one.

I know who was in it: Tom Benson.

Is that what EVERY NBA team does when there's a name change? EVERY one has done this?
