:bowdown:
I wanna see how they work it in with their new red, gold, and blue color scheme
Should change it to the Jesters.
Pelicans? Really? Lol What's next? Sloths? Anteaters? Paper Towels?
Bobcats will be Hornets then...
I think name stinks... Stanx!!
But Bobcats could become Hornets again then, and everybody is left confused.
Pelicans?
Please tell me that's a joke.
NOPE!!
New Orleans PElicans!!
Sounds like a d-league name.
Birds are disgusting ****s and I hope they all die.

From uni-watch, it just needs the color change

It has nothing common with new city.They named Hornets because it had special meaning for city of Charlotte.
:wtf: :facepalm

Charlotte want it back.

If that's the case than New Orleans should demand to be called the JAZZ again. It's the only name that makes sense for them and it makes zero sense for a team called "Jazz" to be located in the heart of Mormanville Utah. Utah can become the stars or w/e the fack they were before the Jazz or just make up a new name.
Pelicans? lol
New Orleans should be the Jazz. :mad:
Are you f*cking serious?:roll: :roll: :roll:
That city has so much history and they can't think of anything better than Pelicans?
New Orleans Crawdads.
Absolutely terrible.
If there was already a stigma about playing for New Orleans before, there sure as hell is a strong reason now.
New Orleans Pelic....:lol: :lol: lol:..ans :lol:

Oh my god:oldlol:
They might as well just call them the New Orleans "first team to be contracted's".
New Orleans Hurricanes would be more appropriate...

The Pelicans name is parts of their history. It was the name of their minor league baseball team

New Orleans wants to leave it. It doesn't matter what Charlotte wants. They wanted something common with New Orleans because Hornets had nothing to do with it. "Hornets" had historical meaning for Charlotte when franchise was there.
Charlotte might want it back but i don't know if that will be possible.To get "Jazz", Utah should leave that name first so New Orleans can't do anything about it.

A name that should of stayed with the baseball team, never to be used again.

I wouldn't name something tragic like that. People would like to forget that i guess.
[QUOTE=bmulls]New Orleans Hurricanes :confusedshrug:[/QUOTE]
I don't think that city needs to be constantly reminded of Katrina when watching their sports team.

Miami U is called the Hurricanes, and that city has been hit really bad as well.
Coincidentally their mascot is an ibis, which is kind of like a pelican.
Why didn't they go with the Demons, ****ing a.

At least Charlotte will get their old name back.
