What a terrible and dainty name. What self-respecting man is gonna want to play for a team named the Pelicans?

[Blue&Orange]

petition? nobody wants pelicans in the NBA.

[NumberSix]

They would have literally been better off calling them "New Orleans Baketball Team". "Pelicans" is phukking stupid.

Even the "crawfish" would have been better.

Shame they don't have wombats in america the New Orleans Wombats would be even more epic.

Man I wanted Charlotte to change their name something cool like Flight or Air.... now they're back to the Hornets (better than the Bobcats I guess).

Kind of like the oldschool Bucks colors, but a bit softer on the eyes. Even though it's just a mock, I do hope they brand it with nice unique colors.


And now Charlotte might be taking back the Hornets monicker? I hope they go for a foul re-brand too then.

Charlotte Air sounds cool too you?

[ILLsmak]

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".

DA CANS. DA PELCS.

No the New Orleans Kangaroos mate Or "kangas" as we like to call them here.

Hell, you could have the Wallabies, Koalas, Sharks, Crocodiles...I like the name New Orleans Sharks or New Orleans Crocodiles or "crocs"

Jesus that is bad. The Pelicans? My goodness. New Orleans Pansies

[Mr. Jabbar]

They should have used "Jazz" and make the mormons at utah find something that suits them like "Supremacists" or w/e

[GreatGreg]

I heard they were considering "New Orleans Bounce" and that would've been a good fit. More modern, too.
