Pelicans for life! Creole blue and gold get it done Benson! I hate Mardi Gras Uni's they're nice every once in a while but not as full time colors.

gotta believe you would end up hearing Pels more often than not...
"we might make dollars, but we don't necessarily make sense"
"always be sincere....whether you mean it or not"
And when we suck we can be called The Pelican'ts !
I really want to get behind the "Pelican" movement, but I just can't. Everytime I say New Orleans Pelicans it just doesn't sound right. "Who dat say they gone beat them Pelicans" Sorry it justs doesn't work.
Honestly, I wouldn't want the who dat chant anywhere near my basketball team anyway. But I get what you're saying.
WHO DAT SAY THEY GON BEAT THEM KNIGHTS!!!

One issue is that Pelicans doesn't have an obvious abberviation, shorthand like Timberwolves had. P-Cans? Pelys? Dem Birds?
Pels?
Dem PCans.
I think this is what it would be...Pels?
Don't even get me started on that. Whose massive brainfart resulted in sports teams being named after the weather? In the future, we might see a rivalry like Seattle Downpour vs the New Mexico Humidity.I was going to post a list of team names dumber than Pelicans but it was mostly just Raptors and inanimate objects like Heat and Thunder. I know Hawks are smarter, but I'm not so sure about pants (Knicks) or Celtics
Old fan. Tired fan. I want to believe.
LOL!
You think that's bad? I was at the NFL Hall of Fame game in 2010, when I saw a bunch of people in black and orange chant, "Who Dat? Who Dat? Who Dat Say Dey Gon' Beat Dem Bengals?!"

They swear up and down that they invented that phrase to. Just changing "Dat" to "Dey" doesn't mean a thing.
Who dey doesn't even sound right. At least "Who dat?" follows some kind of sense. Who they? Who the hell says that?
It should be "Who dem?" at the least.
They say that.
Down in da' Parish
New Orleans Pelicans was the name of our baseball team for over 80 years.
They were very frequently abbreviated "Pels". One version of their cap in 1977 had "Pels" written across it.
So, not sure how anyone can say "New Orleans Pelicans" doesn't sound right or that it has no abbreviation.
Our own sports history contradicts both statements.
A football game can't stop hurricanes.
It can't fix levees.
Or rebuild houses.
But it can let a city know...
That it's a city once again.
Welcome back, New Orleans.
And it's only on our state flag...speaking of which even that one is hardcore
Ripping it's own flesh to feed it's young...no wonder they are blood thirsty
Hey hey hey, don't bring us into this. Some of us speak just fine.
The New Orleans Pels really doesn't sound great either. It's just my opinion. I like it because it has meaning to the state however it just doesn't have that "ring" to it.
Please no Mardi Gras colors!
I'm digging the Pelicans. I really am. Especially if they use the black/gold/red logo from earlier in the thread. I LOVE that logo!
It's starting to make sense... connect the dots. Gayle Benson hinted at a black/red/gold combo. The old baseball Pelicans used red (as far as I can tell). Homage to the old team of the same name, perhaps.
asdfghjkl;'
....and pairs of pants (knicks), drunks (celtics), and pieces of metal on boots (spurs) have very high IQs.
