With the rumored three names (Pelicans, Krewe and Brass) Benson was deciding between. Which name would you have preferred ?

With the rumored three names (Pelicans, Krewe and Brass) Benson was deciding between. Which name would you have preferred ?
Krewe
This'll be pelicIN-teresting.
You should put another option
- NONE
Out of those three, Krewe.
Krewe is cool with only New Orleans. Brass sounds like we wanted Jazz back, but couldn't get is so we went 2nd rate. Pelicans is unique and encompasses Louisiana. The first time I heard it I didn't like it, but I like it now. I think I like it more now that so many people hate it.
Neither of these 3.
Voodoo is still the best name for this team.
"Krewe of New Orleans" would be the best... but Pelicans is still good for me.
I think you guys know where I stand, but anything is better than being called the Charlotte Hornets.
Brass, Krewe, Angels, Cardinals, Cardinal, Pilots, Arc Angels. I could stomach all of those. But nooooooooo. They pick the one name that makes me sad. :(
Wow, it's almost like we already did this poll or something. Deja vu?
Okay what Pelican boot licker created multiple IDs? From 5 to 14 in less than an hour, after sitting stagnant and in 3rd place eh? :rolleyes:
I voted Pelicans. Brass and Krewe are too close to WNBA/AFL team names. I would rather Angels/Cardinals/Bucs etc but an NBA team has to be generic and it is very much that.
LOL @ the results right now. Something fishy goin' down. Hehe.
All,
"The Pelicans" is seriously bad. You can tell no test groups were done about this. NBA teams need to be marketed to young guys, and no young guy wants to sport a Pelicans hat.

Don't spam the forums, dude. Put it in your sig, and leave it at that.
Link to a poll done on this a while back - Brass was the clear winner

If you can't convincingly win this poll as the pelicans that just seems like an issue because you won't find more people who like that name than in here and it's still not the favorite. They need to do it the same way every other name change haplens in the NBA... give us 4 choices and let the fans decide
There was a poll done on this.
A poll of one.
I know who was in it: Tom Benson.
Kreme or Brass. I really don't like Pelicans. I'm on record as saying I'd rather Hornets. At the end of the day I will support my hometown team but don't expect me to buy any crap with the name Pelicans on it.
I like the "Witch Doctors" myself.
And Pelicans is actually winning at the moment...
Something funny is definetly going on. Hilariously funny.
I still prefer Voodoo over any other option out there. Out of these three I like Brass the most. Starting not to care what the name is though.
I don't even consider people who like Pelicans bat **** insane. If this were for a new MLB team I'd even like Pelicans. I personally don't like it for an NBA team. In that context I disdain it and those other names are a better fit...to me.
Now, if you want to regain some IQ points, I'd suggest not calling someone bat**** insane then putting "no offense" in the same sentence. Ate too many fish heads?
Either way, it his hilarious to me.
If I posted this on my facebook. I'm sure we would get tons of new members just to vote this if the outrage is as bad as they are acting
Drew Brees @drewbrees
Another option for our hoop team…the New Orleans Brass
oh well if the million dollar man doesn't like..well we'll just have to re-consider. :cool::help:
you guys realize there is a football team named The Dolphins right.... ?
Lighten up, just 'cause you're insane doesn't mean I hate you :P I just can't take you seriously when you like a terrible name like that and can't stomach Pelicans. It's like a Justin Bieber fan critisizing my taste in music. Things like these are obviously subjective, but you have to draw the line somewhere...
And for the record I prefer sheep heads.
I voted Krewe, although I'd be happy with either of the three.
Krewe > Pelicans > Brass then a big drop off to the next group like Dukes/Pilots/Knights/Gators/Crescents then a massive drop off to garbage like ArcAngels/NeoNights/MudBugs.
im starting to like brass.. we can incorporate brass knuckles in the logo:bfight:
Ladies and Genlemen your New Orleans Brass!!! New Orleans is all about music and since we can't have the Jazz back the Brass would be an excellant choice. I can see a cool logo with a NOLA BRASS PLAYER spinning a basketball ball in one hand and playing a sax in the other hand. I also think we should have live jazz music at the games like we had last year. The few games I was able to attend the music was excellant and gave the arena a real positive vibe. Good music has always been a New Orleans trademark. As a kid I will never forget Al Hirt at the early Saints game in Tulane Stadium it was a very cool and hip atmosphere. Geaux BRASS!!!!
I'm convinced Bensons camp leaked that story to see if the fan base would like Pelicans. Since everyone seemed to hate it, it's scratched off the list. And I am not going to be convinced otherwise. HOPEFUL. Lol
Dumb example. Music has very obvious lines in the form of genres, which the Bieber camp belongs to the Pop scene. We all know what that scene is about. Here, however, are about just random names with nothing to bind them into groups like music. HIGHLY more subjective than music obviously.
As for the poll, it's interesting that Pelicans can now overtake Brass when before the announcement, Brass blew it out the water everytime. I'd be curious to know if this is some type of human emotional syndrome at play. :confused:
We've had quite a few polls on this topic and I was curious so I went back to find some and I haven't come across one where BOTH Pelicans AND Brass were included together giving Brass a chance to blow Pelicans out of the water. I thought I was going to see Pelicans in the polls because it had been brought up lots of times. Or maybe you meant everytime Pelican was mentioned in a renaming thread people said they'd rather Brass (no poll included)?
I could easily live with this poll if it came down to it.

There is the poll on page 1 of this thread that included both, and other polls where Pelicans was always near the bottom (Saintsreport). I also could have sworn one of the polls done here had Pelicans make the cut, but Brass either won or was a close 2nd. If not, it's even worse that Pelicans didn't even make the cut to put on a poll.
Oh yeah, I know this one on page one has both Brass and Pelicans but the ones I looked at after Benson bought the team didn't have both. Nobody put it in a poll but there were quite a few saying they liked or didn't mind Pelicans. Of course there were some saying they hated it too. Like I said though, I was surprised that as much as Pelicans had been talked about, no one put it in the polls. Even talking about how Benson owned the name, I didn't see it in the polls. At least not in any of the polls I looked at here.
