Usually the awful team names are reserved for Minor league teams.

But... this breaks the trend a bit. Pelicans. Wow...

[Sarcastic]

There are hockey teams called the Penguins and Ducks. Why is Pelicans worse than those?

Penguins has to do with ice...............but Ducks are just as bad as Pelicans

Pelicans is 100x worse than Ducks. Ducks are iconic. Donald Duck...Daffy Duck.

Has there ever been a single memorable Pelican?

Don't forget Anaheim Ducks were originally the Mighty Ducks, founded by Disney. The nickname was also the title of a Disney movie series.

That's how they got their names.

Pelicans wouldn't be so bad if it were a hockey team. Hockey teams are supposed to have dumb names like that. But this ain't hockey.

[KungFuJoe]

Since we're on the subject, The "Lakers" is the dumbest name in the history of all sports and yet it is the most popular team in the NBA.

Go figure.

What about Seahawks, Dolphins, Cardinals, Blue Jays, and Orioles? All very non threatening animals.

Also look at the Philadelphia Phillies. Sounds like a female horse.
