Definitely better than Hornets, but much prefer Brass, Voodoo, Gators, 2nd Liners, etc. I also don't like the new colors navy blue, gold, and red. And please someone let me know what these colors have to do with Pelicans. Hopefully this poor choice name isn't etched in stone.
I'm sitting here cackling while wondering how many rebrandistas changed their tune today.
Why am I not surprised? This organization has a long history of self-humiliation. It's not enough that the team hasn't even gotten to a conference finals in it's first 23 seasons, or had only one division title. Now we have to have the worst name in any pro sports league. LOL! This would be more painful if I hadn't gotten numb to the team's ineptitude a long time ago.
New Orleans Derpbirds. LOL!! What a life.
Old fan. Tired fan. I want to believe.
Worst sports names......
NBA- Lakers, Magic, Thunder, Blazers, Jazz
NFL- Browns, Jets, Dolphins, Colts
MLB- Phillies, Marlins, Padres
New Orleans Pelicans-Seattle Seahawks-Atlanta Braves-Anaheim Ducks

History in completely relevant history has made the Knickerbockers Packers and the Soxs pop culture over decades
My point is all of the teams you mentioned spent years as such and have built fan bases and brand recognition around the country.
From day one the Pelicans have a up hill battle against a society that is constantly connected as such you can't compare that to a team that has history is all I'm saying. the Thunder or Bobcats would be a better comparisons.

Hardly being optimistic are you?
Maybe Stern is in town to watch Kobe surpass 30,000 career points.
This name is not bad. It fits and we will all adjust.

this absolutely deserved its own thread.
The colors are the colors on the New Orleans city flag.
