PELICAN TAKEOVER {merged}

Just called Black & Gold on Veterans. They said they have stuff and they're checking it into inventory right now. I'll probably stop by tomorrow.

I might swing by and see what they have later on. I can't get big boy sizes at the Arena or online so that's where I have to go. Hopefully Casual Male XL will start carrying items like they do for the Saints.

The Lids at Oakwood Mall just got the Pelicans hats in today...I had my wife pick one up for me ;)

I'm with ya! I wore my hat to work today because I'm so pumped to have it. I tried to get to the Arena on Friday afternoon, but it was shut down like Fort Knox preparing for the Super Bowl, so I had my friend pick one up for me at the game that night. I will most certainly be swinging by Black and Gold in the near future.

Some NBA players and coaches find humor in New Orleans Hornets' impending name change to Pelicans

Quote:

---

Though former Memphis Grizzlies forward Rudy Gay experienced one of his worst offensive performances of the season this past Sunday against the New Orleans Hornets, he didn’t lose his sense of humor to poke fun at the franchise’s impending name change to the Pelicans.

Gay, who was traded to the Toronto Raptors Wednesday, said naming the team after a bird not perceived to be tough was probably not a good idea.

But he offered a suggestion.

``I wish they would had been called the Fighting Pelicans,’’ Gay said laughing.

``They changed everything the name, the colors. But I have never seen red, blue and gold as colors for a team before. But as long as you got the right people behind a team, I guess it don’t matter.’’

So educated!

Dont worry we will take a dump on them all soon enough

I gave in and ordered a Pelicans hat, as much as I dislike the name that logo is too sweet to pass on. Benson wins again!

My brother was out in a mall somewhere in west Texas on Saturday and he asked a guy in Lids or some sports gear store if they had the Pelicans caps yet. The guys said no, not yet. They started talking about the logo and the guy said he's not even a basketball fan but he plans on getting a cap.

Yea, I was the main one saying I would never wear one of them before the name was official but now I think we will have one of the best logos in the NBA.

if the Honeybees don't become the Pels(or Pel's) Belles, they are missing the boat....
