    Are you in line for 1 of 15 limited edition replica Big Bird mascot costumes they are giving out to promote the new name change? Many of you are just accepting it because it is what it is and you have no say in the name change - so you are sucking it up and accepting it. It's a horrible name and something i will not get used to. EVER. I will accept it because i have too but that doesn't mean i have to LIKE IT.

    The same goes with everything else in life. You either like it or you don't. The world goes on.

    Thinking the same way. Bring on the hate outsiders. This is a great franchise, with a great new name.

    So they went with Pelicans, huh?

    I would've greatly preferred Voodoo, but whatever. As someone who has loved everything about the "Hornets" (colors, branding, jerseys, etc) ever since their days in Charlotte, I'm really sad to see that name, and everything associated with it, go. I can only hope that "Pelicans" catches on outside of New Orleans.

    Where are you guys getting these pics from? That logo looks really nice but we don't know if that's the official logo right?

    Pelican Pete or if we want to stick with the French background we can call him Pierre the Pelican.

    I'm guessing Pete.

    Come to think of it, if the colors are going to be red, navy, and gold, we're going to look an awful lot like the Hawks. I wonder why the NBA said there was "too much black" in the league? The cliche "red/some shade of blue/whatever else" (or just plain red) is just as widespread.

    Only read now. I honestly liked more brass, much, much less krewe (yeah i know what it stands for and so on, but i still don't like it). I really like pelicans, couldn't care less what other teams fans think bout it

    I'd be down if was the logo. Really looks nice in my opinion.

    Someone there said this? I never go to that site. I hear it mentioned often but I never go there. Maybe once or twice a long while back.

    "Seeing "Pelicans" in plain text just looked boring. Dat looks cool."

    "New Orleans Pelicans... Ok, so this is not so bad"

    "cooler than I predicted but a little busy. Nice"

    To Da Throne...you're complaining about how ESPN, national fans, and people you know are hating the name and that "there's a reason why." I'm contending that a large part of the reason why is because there is no brand attached to it, although you say that a brand has no effect on the name. So when you think of the Lakers' name, do you just think of it in plain 12 point Times New Roman, do you think about a mythical person called a Laker, or do you think about the regal purple and gold, block italic font that is used with the team name? Branding definitely goes hand in hand with a name.

    Some people say that the mascot is stupid because it is perceived as a goofy, cartoony bird and not "fierce." Well, what's the comeback for a Nugget? A Celtic? A Laker (WTH is that anyway)? A Net? Outside of the Celtics, none of these teams even use their actual mascot, just the name itself, and they intimidate tjust fine.

    I think it's unfortunate that just the name by itself was leaked...kind of a PR blunder IMO. Should have had more rolled out at one time...logo, local history, etc.
    The logo, color scheme, and team name are 3 completely different aspect of the rebranding. Neither impact the other and there's no reason to settle.
