In the tradition of the Heat or Thunder, they should go with the New Orleans Flood.

They should give back Hornets to Charlotte, and ask Utah for their name back.

If Utah says no, NO should go with Jazs.

Or Looters.

lol

In this age of the metrosexual, does nobody have the cojones to stand up in a meeting and say, "Pelicans, are you kidding me?! This name sucks!"?

I'm sure their team store will carry Pelican shirts, Pelican wristbands, and of course...Pelican Briefs.

A wonderful bird is the Pelican.
His beak can hold more than his belly can.
He can hold in his beak
Enough food for a week!
But I'll be darned if I know how the hellican?

When Bob Arum bought the Timberwolves to move to NOLA (which Stern blocked) they were going to name them the New Orleans Rhythm.

The quote that always stuck out to me was "They can take away our Jazz, but they can't take away our Rhythm."

Pelicans > Rhythm

From Zach Lowe's column:

"You're all mocking the pelicans? Other NBA mascots include a pair of pants; two different weather systems; a large deer; a space rocket; a person who performs magical spells; the act of magic itself; the inanimate net attached to a basketball rim; a music genre; the sun; and a small chunk of gold."

The five potential names are the Pelicans, Bull Sharks, Swamp Dogs, Rougarou — a beast from Louisiana folklore — and Mosquitoes.


Actually, Swamp Dogs isn't too bad. It sounds a little like a AAA Baseball squad, but sounds better than Pelicans.

Pelicans might actually be the best name of the bunch.





Which means someone in that organization needs to be fired and/or shot.

My aunt and uncle lived in Louisiana for a while when they were young. While they were there my uncle worked on an oil rig with a bunch of cajuns. My cousin was born there and as a child he cried a lot at night. The Cajuns referred to babies that cried at night as rougarus. He have always called him Ruga. I never what a rougaru really was until today.

That is a cool name. It fits Louisiana identity perfectly. They will also have and sell tons of cool merchandise.

So his point was the lamest existing team names are still better than the "Pelicans"?
