LOL I see what you did there.![]()
According to ESPN, the New Orleans Krewe was a name option. They could've gone with a whole pirate theme. That would've been cool.![]()

I say go with the New Orleans Looters
not as bad as Lakers, or Rockets lmfao
Why didn't they choose something that really defines New Orleans?
The New Orleans Gang Rivalry.......sounds better than the New Orleans Pelicans.
For what ever it's worth (not much) I kind of like it.
Unique, some local connection.
Look at what is around- Lakers, Jazz and even the the Grizzlies make no sense in their current location. Raptors, Wizards pretty bad. Many others are somewhat bland- Rockets (yeah I know mission control is there but no rockets)
Magic? yeah that one strikes fear...
Grizzlies were originally in Vancouver, where it's a local animal.
Nah, it works
PRIMARY
SECONDARY

Very ABA-esque
And ROFL @ Eric Gordon
BRpelican must hate this pic
As described, I have to concur, that would be a very cool name and logo. However, given the fact that we're not even a decade removed from Hurricane Katrina, perhaps the deadliest and costliest natural disaster in U.S. history, and one which not only caused damage to a significant part of the city of New Orleans, but also caused roughly half of its residents to be displaced, I'd have to believe that particular team name wouldn't fly - and probably never would.
I really liked the old name New Orleans Jazz. I wished somehow they could've kept that one or given some consideration into buying it back. It damn sure doesn't make any sense for a team in the Rocky Mountains.
The league should re-organise the names like this:
New Orleans Jazz
Utah Mormons
Memphis Presleys
Utah Jazz makes little sense, although ironically when I was in Salt Lake City in 2003, after the Spurs game (we won by 9 IIRC) I went to a smoky Jazz club that was right across the road from my motel. Go figure!?![]()
New Orleans Voodoo sounds better
New orleans "Flash your boobs beads"
New orleans "hangovers"
New orleans "Street urinators"
New orleans "Beignets"
New orleans "Crawfish"
New Orleans "Jambalayas"
New Orleans "Left my morals at home"
New Orleans "Beggers"
New Orleans " Looters"
All these are more apropos. I'm privy to the "hangovers", Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome...Your New Orleans Hangovers !!! A martini glass or a beer bottle can serve as a logo.
Isn't that their Arena Football teams name?
The Raptors and the Wizards are the two dumbest team names IMO.
Why the are the Dolphins the worst nickname? They actually exist in Miami.
Are there any Wizards in D.C.?
KKK Grand Wizards abound
I was thinking the New Orleans Dumpsters because that what the whole city smells like.
Looks like they are having a change of heart about Pelicans. Pelicans is not official and will likely be pulled after all the negative responses they are getting.
We need to know what to call the beat we beat 4 times a year.
Nicknames should be intimidating in someway. Having a Dolphin in a helmet is pretty laughable to me. To each his own I guess. As a VA. native i can tell you their is a big wizard problem in DC. Just know Warlock are assholes.
Is it possible that Pelicans have large talons?
Therebye rendering spurs as a less awesome offensive weapon?
Is Arena football really a pro sport? its a niche of football that really isn't each 1/7 as popular as any of the four major American sports leagues.
