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.

Yeah, I can get down with this for sure. That's pretty BA.
haha I just knew everyone would be in love with the name by now
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?
Its probably not the official logo. That was made a lonnnng time ago by some design company right after benson bought the team. It was different colors though.
What will the new mascot's name be? Pugo????
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.
At least it's not voodoo:D
Hawks have more of a silver thing going on now.

If anything red, navy and gold might be similar to the Cavs' current logo. But there are different shades of red, and gold that could make ours different.
saw this somewhere else

Wow. I just found out Celtics was chosen over Whirlwinds, Olympians and Unicorns.
I can't wait till clever photoshops involving unibrows and pelicans start happening. It will be a gold mine.

regardless of name anything is better then getting called Char sorry New Orleans Hornets... and with that im out...
Drew Brees posted "Another option for the hoop team, New Orleans Brass" Is he just considering this name, or is he saying they are also highly considering changing it to that name instead of the Pelicans now? mmmm
Well, apparently Stern was with the Saints today so maybe he let Drew in on something. :huh2: :hihi:

I think Drew is just trolling for Twitter hits and retweets. I doubt he has any inside knowledge whatsoever.
Not that it leads any credence to it being Brass, but you really think that Brees cares about twitter hits? :hihi:
fwiw I think he just heard about that and liked it, that's all. For the record I'd be totally down with Brass though it makes us look like Utah's little brother.
Okay.
These are all franchises without a tangible entity for a mascot. For them particularly, the only way to possibly brand themselves and create an identity is through using their name.

Primary logo? Check. Displays color scheme? Check. Displays the team name? Check.

So are you still going to tell us that the three DO NOT go hand-in-hand?
You are entitled to your opinion that it's not a good name. But I find that on this issue (and others) you tend to speak in an "absolute truth" type of tone at times. Who says that they're settling? I don't think you know that for certain. You also make it sound like we will be mocked and ridiculed by ESPN and 90% of the world forever and ever for all eternity, when history suggests that it will eventually become engrained and accepted. And since we have clearly seen that logo, color scheme, and the team name do in fact go hand in hand, it's hard to speak in absolutes about it when we don't have a brand to permanently associate the name to. And even if you continue to hate it after the branding is revealed, it won't necessarily make the rebrand an absolute failure--it would just be a failure in your eyes. Can't please everyone. There would be a vocal group of haters for the name no matter what would be picked.
I honestly like the Pelicans name. Since you guys are worried about what people think lets name the team The New Orleans Swag! Yeah. No
The New Orleans Based Boys...... ThankYouBasedGod!!!
After last night, I'm starting to grow more comfortable with Pelicans. While I don't believe it is the best name, I think it will become more liked with time. Think if Denver had a different name and came out to rebrand as the Nuggets. People would laugh and hate it. I think we'll be fine.
ok for you nationals the rebrand would be good (i read a lot of things why you want this). but for us "world" fans it would be a sad day. i was a hornet fan since the days in charlotte, not a fan from the town charlotte but from the coulors the team and HUGO :D.
later, after the move to new orleans i said to me it doesnt matter in witch town they play, still a hornet. my interessts now on the team growes the last 3 years and i could identify me with new orleans as city too. i read mutch about NO and i liked it, it will be one of my first visiting points if i could travel so far sometimes. i stay as a fan from NOLA doesnt matter witch name comes but for me it would be strange to see hornets back in charlotte, maybe like to see a ex girlfriend you loved so mutch but you now you have a better girl on your site now.
