Which one do you like better?

I personally like the FDL with the pelican one the best.

Re: Pelicans New Logos
 

I like the third one down, 'New Orleans Pelicans' best. I like 'Crescent City Basketball' as well. The colors work for me also.

When does the Hornets forum officially become the Pelicans forum?

Re: Pelicans New Logos
 

Gawd those suck out loud. They actually reverberate suckage to the point of deafness.

Re: Pelicans New Logos
 

I actually like the name change and the logos...

Re: Pelicans New Logos
 

That's awful. I understand appealing to the Gulf Coast but this decesion was made with little to no research. I have not seen one official poll even though Benson said it took years to come to this fruitfull product. Years? for that?

Re: Pelicans New Logos
 

The Ballers
The Hurlers
The Revelers
The Mysticks
The VooDoo (Benson owns the rights)
The Hex
The Sound
The Storm
The Brass
The Spice
The Peppers
The Stingrays
The Racers
The Moccassins

I just thought of 14 names in1 minute better than the Pelicans.

Re: Pelicans New Logos
 

I like N.O. Pelicans #1 and # 3.
I likes Danno's ideas: Brass, Revelers.

Re: Pelicans New Logos
 

While I initially agree that the name is not a home run, it was chosen carefully for its marketing possibilities.... meaning the entire gulf coast. It's going to take a regional approach to keep them here, just as they did with the Saints. Come to think of it, they could have also named them the Saints.

Re: Pelicans New Logos
 

Pelicans are better than all of those, except for Voodoo. I was however for naming them the Saints. I think that would have been cool. But that would take away fron merchandise revenue so...

NFL owns "New Orleans Saints". This is why you don't see team names of professional sports used in other sports.

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

Re: Pelicans New Logos
 

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...

Re: Pelicans New Logos
 

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

Re: Pelicans New Logos
 

Swamp any better? .... The New Orleans Swamp!

Re: Pelicans New Logos
 

Better than Pelicans.

Re: Pelicans New Logos
 

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.

Re: Pelicans New Logos
 

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

Point being, it'll get accepted over time.
