Unfortunately, I can envision a pelican eating the spur or the knickerbockers and choking to death. They are bigger dangers to themselves than other creatures.....although that does sound like this franchise's history.Originally Posted by LetsGetWaffles
Old fan. Tired fan. I want to believe.
Anything other than Death Pelicans and I will be upset
I don't know if I can wait for the Pelicans merchandise to go on sale. The Board of Governors need to go ahead and vote so that I can empty the pocketbook on gear.
I once had some of the worst grits and drippings in the Queen City
Sorry wanted to bring this Thread back to life...........
No this thread is dead, just like the chances we rebrand to the pelKLFJPSNOW{MLHSH{:A:GKDSJPOGDLNSLNVLVJTP
AHHHHH PELICANS AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! SO MANY!!!!!!HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!
As long as there is NEVER a "dirty birds" reference to the Pelicans, I'm cool with this name.
I like Pelicans number two right now.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
"You're Next." -the pelicans
I'm against the Pelicans name. Tried to let it sit and marinate in, even ask plenty of New Orleans ppl and ppl in other cities and only 2 out of 34 ppl like the name lol. New Orleanians hated it tho. I advise u guys to question and showcase the logo on popular social sites. I prefer Knights, krewe, and cyprss over Pelicans. Also Jesters is pretty badass to me as well.

Don't need to base your opinion of the name on whether other people like it cuz even if we do go by Pelicans the name will stop mattering in time. Especially if we're racking up wins.
Krewe... hated it from the beginning, kind of like the Clippers where there can be now marketable style or logo. Also ugly jerseys.
Knights... Arena football here we come!
cypryss... Really?
Jesters... see Knights but add ugly logo and jerseys
I disagree. I rather start off on the right foot. Pelicans name is pretty risky.
Actually the reason I like the Pelicans is it's a safe name. You can't really go wrong with birds, or animals in general.
thats your opinion bro, but IMO Krewe is pretty unique and sounds hip and "cool" to appeal for merchandise and mainstream America for sales and popularity.
Knights is a generic but safe name with ties to the city.
Cypress name is also unique and roles of with perfect pronouncement. Also the arena can be the marsh pit haha.
Jesters is my favorite name. It has endless opportunities with logs, mascots, madri gras ties, etc. Think about how creative we can go with that route.
Pelicans has to many syllables and "New Orleans Pelicans" doesn't sounds appealing nor natural to say. Also many think of a pelican as a wimpy animal, i do not, but many people in the city and majority outside do.
Knights is a safe generic name. The New Orleans Pelicans sounds so goofy.
i still like Pelicans and Crescents, but NEONIGHTS OVER EVERYTHING!
It took all my strength not to laugh out loud when I read this at work.
I am ALL FOR re-branding to the Pelicans. This thread is 5-star.
When we re-brand to the pelicans, can we hall of fame this thread?
Contributor
Also can we create a Hall of Fame?
The Archive Board is pretty much the Hall of Fame. They should rename it though.
A pelican, derived from the Greek word πελεκυς pelekys (meaning "axe" and applied to birds that cut wood with their bills or beaks) - don't know how much more bad a** you need to be to be our mascot
Some of you overthinking this by a mile
How about New Orleans Dive Bombers...with a Pelican mascotSome of you overthinking this by a mile
These birds are ruthless AND fearless...oh, and the new owner has secured the rights to "New Orleans Pelicans".
