    Hurricane is a noun
    And when you use a verb after a noun, it's called conjugation.

    EDIT: Just in case you misunderstood what I was trying to say, I'll try to be nice about it and explain: The announcers will say "The Magic has to win this game" or "The Heat plays the best defense in the league." It's minorly annoying. It's the only objection I have to your otherwise good idea.

    Take a look starting about 3:10.

    And then tell us how you feel the New Orleans Pelicans would fare pitted against the Anaheim Mighty Ducks, or geese, as it were...

    Why the are the Dolphins the worst nickname? They actually exist in Miami.

    Are there any Wizards in D.C.?
    Bullets was actually the most appropriate nickname in all of organized sports anywhere in the world.

    No worst than Lakers, Clippers, UTAH Jazz, Magic, Texans, Mighty Ducks, Trolly Dodgers, Kinckerbockers, Athletics, and of course the worst the REDSKINS

    Can someone explain the Alabama "CRIMSON TIDE" and their mascot is an elephant?

    New team names suck these days. Its either pick an animal that is really stupid or overused, pick an inanimate object or idea, or come up with something that makes absolutely no damn sense what so ever. Pelicans is not that bad. It has nothing to do with heat or weather. It is not some term or phrase meant to sound "cool" which will be completely dated in a few years. It is not completely overused animal that is popular in college, high-school, junior high and elementary sports....Bobcats anyone?

    I can think of a lot worse.

    ter McGee

    EDIT: oh yeah, and finally it is not based of the popularity of a movie in the 90's based on dinosaurs.

    Raptors also covers predator birds like Seahawks, Eagles, Owls, etc... So thats a steal. If a team just named themselves mammals, well that would be a total coupe but horribly unpopular.

    That is because most of all the good names are already taken.

    Is it possible that Pelicans have large talons?

    Therebye rendering spurs as a less awesome offensive weapon?
    Pelicans have webbed feet for swimming. They don't catch prey(fish) with their feet so they don't have large talons.

    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.
    They should change their name to the Mudbugs, a local nickname for Crawdads.

    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.
    But I like Arena Football. LOL I don't care if its pro or not. I love it. A friend of mine played in Austin years ago. Good times. Don't rain on my parade.

    Look up the history of the Washington Redskins and you'll understand.

    Is that a mockup or the official? If it's real I could get behind that. Bold, distinct color scheme. Managed to make the bird look tough. Could be shortened to "Pels" in casual conversation.

    Better than Hornets for sure.

    When I got the image, it was labeled 'leaked official'... plus it meets the color scheme of the owner's wife so it very well could be what they use.

    I'm somewhat jealous that other teams can do so much with their logos but we simply refuse not to. (although I'm not jealous of other team's success compared to ours.. We legit! Lol)

    My bad, I just can't call something football when they score 50 points a game and you have to watch it on ESPN8-The OCHO.

    Pelicans sounds pretty stupid at first, but it's already growing on me. That logo is nice.
