The rebrand and name change thread part 4

[Eman5805]

WHODATCHRISTIAN,

You know that the Hornets did not move to OKC, right. Evangelicals will not be a major part of this re-brand. New Orleans is a Catholic heavy city and as long as beers are being sold through the 3rd quarter-they will be just fine.

On another note, I just want to point out to you that I am a Muslim and I have legit intel that Mr.Benson has actually converted to Islam (Hah-just snuck another one by you just like we did with Barack Hussein Obama). While New Orleans Muslims would be a great name, we like our plans for world domination and submission to be a little more stealth.

Bismillah outta town! Had no idea we were so diverse on ol' HR. Next you'll be telling me we have more than one female on this site.

Love it.

So you agree, its more than a name. That's all I was going after.

DUKES!!!

The best name yet!!!

Why?

Because I say so.

Dukes or Pelicans... flip a coin... either way the city of New Orleans WINS!!!

[BIG_CITY_BOI]

Dukes sucks nuff said

IMO, Voodoo is too polarizing.

One of the better supported names on here is too polarizing? I think you are greatly overestimating how many people think like you do.

While voodoo wouldn't be as unpopular as Muslims, it still has a negative connotation that would turn some people off.

Every bit as negative as Vampires and Zombies. You're right, the public would never spend their entertainment dollars on anything associated with something so unsavory.

Arena Bowl tonight -- if Benson were ever going to rekindle negotiations with the AFL now would be the time.

Argh if only we could be the Zombies!! Lol

This joint is empty.

There is nothing wrong with the name Celtics or Heat. There is nothing scriptural that gives a negative connotation about either of those names either.

The Kelts (Celtics) were pagans.

You are a hypocrite.

[Razorpens]

Mannn lets just go ahead and do the NOLA Knights

Didn't St Patrick convert them to Catholicism?

[Attila The Hun]

Most of them- of course now there are Neo-Druids, so technically Celts could still be symbolic of evil..

Given that I have Scottish and Irish ancestors, I'd like to think Celts can still be a little evil

i wish man

[bojangles837]

i was laughing when the guy was speaking highly of the fan support for the afl while there's no one at their championship

[Unknown Poster]

If attendance was about 7k, you figure maybe 2.5-3k from each team and 1k or so local? High school teams travel better than that.

Early on and after the moved some people from upstairs to downstairs.

[Joe Horn-et]

When Pelicans becomes the official mascot, hopefully placing the Louisiana State flag at midcourt will get some consideration.

They should have just sold Benson the rights to Voodoo in exchange for his buying all of those empty seats.

Just Scottish for me.

Neo-Druids weren't the Celts that Boston was named after. Just the Catholics

[GameBreaker]

I don't like the Voodoo name but WDC is making me like it more after each of his post.

[Luke's Pelicans]

I don't like the Voodoo name but WDC is making me like it more after each of his post.

Same here. I didn't like it but his ignorant attitude made me like it. I believe he is a troll and almost hope he is.

Please.God.No.Pelicans!

[SdotPaul504]

I really like the Pelicans! Have you guys seen the designs? It pretty swagish lol.

[Silverfoxx]

Pelicans will be a embarrassing disgrace to rebrand. No people will find it "hip" cool or cute but only a few New Orleans people. Let's be real people.

Yet matter of fact, pelican lovers should ask people of this website, on the streets, campus, social networks, and outer state and see how many New Orleanians and others think how "awesome" it is.

By the way I vote, Krewe,Brass, Knights, and Voodoo.

No one, and I mean no one, outside of the city of New Orleans will find Krewe "hip," cool, or cute. Brass and VooDoo, with the right design, could have appeal outside of the region. Knights, aside from alliterative value, is no less generic than Wildcats, Eagles, Panthers, or Bulldogs.
