January 25, 201313 yr The Hornets made the change official today. I actually like the logo and color scheme. New Orleans Hornets announce name change to Pelicans - ESPN
January 25, 201313 yr Holy crap, I was saying that in jest before reading the article. Dead serious I hope they get their name back. As young kid I vowed to not care about the NBA when the Hornets left Charlotte.
January 25, 201313 yr Mickey Loomis is the Saints GM and the Pelicans Director of Basketball Operations....:lol: That is impressive.
January 25, 201313 yr I still would have went with Rougarou, but I can get behind Pelicans. It's actually one of the few names in the NBA that has significance to the culture and history of the city/state.
January 25, 201313 yr Yeah, I was apprehensive about Pelicans at first but I like it now. I like that the name means something to the city.
January 25, 201313 yr Yeah, I was apprehensive about Pelicans at first but I like it now. I like that the name means something to the city. It's not terrible. Still wish they would have picked something else. Yeah it has kind of grown on me. I laughed at first but I think it'll work.

January 25, 201313 yr Ehh, the masculinity of the name is lacking here...But think about the name of other pro sport's franchises. The original team nickname was based upon a genre of music.
