Report: Hornets becoming Pelicans

Turrible. Just turrible.

This whole process takes years. It will involve market research and a vote. This is far from a done deal. Once they conduct the market research this idea will be squashed like a bug on the ground. Ain't gonna happen.

Look at the state picture of the bird feeding it's young. It's actually picking meat off itself to feed its young, a common practice with Pelicans and nothing to do with sports whatsoever! It's a bad fit. There are too many other viable candidates that trump this 10 fold. Love the Krewe. Perfect. Catahoulas also good. My high school mascot was a pelican. Awful, awful, awful.

Jazz shoulda never gone out of town.
Hornets ain't right

Sure I understand the Pelicans.

But KREWE woulda been awesome.

A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His bill will hold more than his belican,
He can take in his beak
Enough food for a week
But I'm damned if I see how the helican!

Pelican'ts is an easy ridicule.

... we could start a letter writing campaign,

... but then I'd feel obligated to watch more basketball & IDK if I'm willing to do that.

Right!!

IMO they wasted a good name on the arena team. The Voodoo would be an awesome name for an NBA team. Plus it makes more sense as it relates to the regions history. Pelicans...pfft..SMH

I know that back in the day there was the New York Yankees and New York Giants in both football and baseball, why couldn't the basketball team in New Orleans be the Saints too? Is there a rule against it?

skymike · 12-05-2012, 03:48 PM

no rule against dual naming, esp. when the owner is the same guy.

New Orleans Basketball Saints....
just like they used to say St. Louis Football Cardinals...

Well in that case, why don't they use Voodoo? It's a cool name and it's awesome colors and theme.

Way to think outside of the box, Crusader! ... Saints would be another good option ... along with Krewe, Voodoo, Catahoulas ... too bad I didn't win that recent Powerball like I was planning on ... I coulda' bought a professional sports franchise, maybe the Hornets, and given it a cool name.
