Hornets changing name to Pelicans. New Pelicans logo revealed
New Orleans Hornets Owner Tom Benson announced today that at the conclusion of the 2012-13 season, the name of the team will become the New Orleans Pelicans. A name that will represent the culture and resolve of the Gulf Coast region while also symbolizing Louisiana’s most pressing initiative of coastal restoration and wildlife conservation. Benson introduced the team’s new logos, as well as color scheme, during the announcement.

But now it's been confirmed. Thursday they will announce themselves as the Pelicans further distancing themselves from potential free agents.
Interested to see the color scheme, i just can't believe they went with "Pelicans" :facepalm

Re: BREAKING NEWS? Hornets officially confirm name change
LOL from the article:
[quote]There was similar resistance when the Seatte SuperSonics changed their nickname to Thunder when the franchise moved to Oklahoma City in 2008, but now the nickname is widely accepted.[/quote]
Um, no, the nickname is not widely accepted. It sucks. Their logo sucks, their name sucks, and their color scheme sucks.
Bombers, Marshals, Tornados, Outlaws; anything is better than the "Thunder."

I don't think it looks bad, but I don't get the name or why they chose that color scheme.

Makes sense, but I don't like the color scheme for a pelican. I think their colors were fine.

Re: New Orleans Pelicans Logo Revealed
Not bad. I hope the alternate logo is a little better. Side view or something.
Way better than the Thunder's logo that's for damn sure.

Just look at the stupid thing.
The writing is so far off center and not in a way that makes it look dynamic. It just looks like a dude with MS Paint didn't want to correct it and move it to the right. Not to mention it literally has nothing to do with Thunder at all.
Stupid as hell.

Techincally, that symbol is much older. The Nazi's borrowed it from older civ's.

You can even go farther back than the Romans, the egyptians used it too.

Re: New Orleans Pelicans Logo Revealed
Gotta admit, didn't really feel the name change but that's a pretty badass looking pelican.

Re: New Orleans Pelicans Logo Revealed
Blue Maroon and Gold are the best mixture of colors, might buy a pair of shorts for hoop!
-
Re: New Orleans Pelicans Logo Revealed
So are they officially the "Pelicans?" Or do they become the Pelicans once the season is over? I hope the new jerseys are gold. That would be pretty cool. Red and Blue are used too much.
