What's new

New Orleans Pelicans?

Yeah we're never giving the name Jazz up. It's been here for 30 + years. It's ours. We took it.

And yes, pelicans is a crappy crappy team name. Of course it's probably no dumber than the Raptors, and we've been working that one for 15 years now.

I think pelicans is considerably worst than Raptors. At least a Raptor is somewhat intimidating, but a pelican is no more intimidating than troutbum; and would anyone fear a New Orlean Troutbum
 
Is there any team named the Pigeons? That would be worse, IMO. Might be appropriate for a real crappy team though.
 
Pelican doesn't roll off the tongue so easy and no abbreviated version of any worth comes to mind.
 
I still can't believe that many hate the name. I personally think it's sick, wicked and nasty. .. but then again, it was Lehi's mascot years ago. :-)
 
I laughed when I heard they wanted to change their names to the pelicans. And I would agree that it sounds like something a youth league would name their team. Is it just me, or has all the creativity been extinguished when it comes to naming teams?

On another note, and probably in bad taste but....... The first name that popped into my head for NO was the hurricanes....
 
yes, teams should all have names like the Billikens (St. Louis U) or the Hoosiers or the Knitting Knees Lions
