Hornets to become Pelicans next season

[bagelred]

My initial reaction is.....that is a horrible name. Wow. A pelican is a weird bird....the word itself is long and goofy....and there's no way to shorten it into a better nickname.

Knickerbockers is pretty bad, but at least "Knicks" sounds cool when you say it. Even the Bobcats is better, because you can say "Cats".

Pelicans? Really? Lol What's next? Sloths? Anteaters? Paper Towels?

This has to be a joke

The New Orleans Drunken Boobs

FAIL. But still better than Pelicans :

If I was to be drafted to a team or traded in the NBA, I would stipulate that I do not want to play for a team with Pelicans...Maybe this is why Eric Gordon sees no future with this team? I knew it! He hated the name Pelicans! bahahaha

Pelicans is bad also because its 3 syllables and can't be shortened to one or two. Almost every other nickname can be shortened to a one or two syllable word that's easy to say. Pelicans does not roll off the tongue.
