    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.

    In the primary logo they need to add a white stripe down the right side of the pelican stand.

    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.

    Hurricanes would be good except there is a well know college team named the Hurricanes. Maybe just call it Hurricane, by dropping the s it makes it different than the college name.

    They can make a cool logo with a big Hurricane swirl and a basketball in the eye of the center, New Orleans written across the top and Hurricane on the bottom of the logo.
    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!?

    The Raptors and the Wizards are the two dumbest team names IMO.

    New Orleans is expected to change their name to the Pelicans possibly by next season. The Bobcats might become the Hornets again.

    Maybe the NBA should have saved their intervention for this name change. The pelicans are in ,my opinion, the worst nickname in any of sport (The Dolphins are off the hook).

    At least they got Anthony Davis...but at what cost.
    Why the are the Dolphins the worst nickname? They actually exist in Miami.

    Are there any Wizards in D.C.?

    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.

    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.

    I don't want to be rude, but I can't see how this is related to the Spurs
    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.
