    Rumor: "Pelicans" the current front runner for new name?

    Courtesy of another board. Don't know why Wope didn't post it here.

    Gerry V:

    @gvtalk
    Should I order my Pelican hat now? Cool hat right?
    Then, Hornets 24/7 writer:
    @NOLAJake

    After talking to some people and hearing certain things I might have to say Pelicans is the front runner for a Hornets name change.

    Now that name is not certain, just like Angels and Spirit weren't, more of a logical deduction based on who I've talked to
    We'll see.

    I'm guessing this is just a ploy to make us content with the Hornets brand. Well, it worked on me.

    I like your logo. If they use that and keep New Orleans on the home and away jersey and change the colors to black and gold that would be great

    LOL WTF.

    "I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

    Doubt it's anything other than speculation.

    However, I don't like the name Pelicans simply because no one would ever call them the Pelicans. The name is too long. It would be shortened to P-Cans or Cans (Warriors are the only 3+ syllable name I can think of in sports that isn't shortened. Even two syllable names are sometimes shortened).

    Turrible.

    If anything like what we saw bigdub made gets used we will ALL be happy. Trust me. You can make ANY name into a cool logo/uniforms if you have the right designer.

    My Little Pony Friendship is Magic would be a better name than Pelicans.

    I'm okay with an awful name like the "pelicans" if we get a bad *** color scheme out of it.

    Will we have the singing/dancing pelican from the old Pelican Homestead Bank commercials as the mascot?
