NFL, NHL, MLB, NBA.... How many teams use duplicate names?

MLB and the NFL did it in St. Louis with the Cardinals, but that was back in the day and the only time I can think of. IDK if it would be allowed today.

You are right, I forgot about the Cards.

It isn't done any more because of copy rights...

I disagree. In fact, I think Pelicans is no better than their original name Hornets.

I understand the reasoning but the Saints are anything but a regional name.
The marketing on this was horrible to say the least. I never saw one poll to take into consideration what fans want. Not one. Maybe there was one but again, failure on their marketing team because I never saw it and I check in with what they are doing from time to time.

The Pelican artwork is also bad. It looks like someting made on Powerpoint from 1999 by their front office secretary. There are high school kids using Photoshop that could do a much better job. Who is the local artist? Who came up with the design? Again, total miss. We have some artist with skills and it doesn't look like anything that came out of the Crescent City.

Is the name "Lakers" any better for L.A.?

Point being, it'll get accepted over time.
