Comment from Bleacher Report:

Personally i would of gone with the Hurricanes as a way of taking the name of somthing that we were able to overcome, but naming our team after a bunch of birds that eat trash and fish is cool too......

The fucking pelicans? Wonder if MJ wants the Hornets back.

"It's definitely an interest down the road, but right now it's the New Orleans Hornets," Jordan told the Charlotte Observer. "We would definitely entertain the opportunity. That's as much as we can say right now. We've heard the community ask the question, and we would listen."

I saw the name of this thread and thought it was a joke. So Anthony Davis will be available once he's a free agent.

 

[Bill Walton.]

Apparently mj just put in a bid to become the charlotte seagulls

Ideas

Hated the name until I saw these.

I'm on board. Reminds me of something out of the old ABA.

I was impressed by the logo or uni's as well

But Idk how you can expect a bunch of grown men to stroll out on the court & be called the Pelicans :chuckles:

So now we really can say "Let's Go Cans!"?

"Ladies and Gentlemen, your 2028 NBA Champions, the New Orleans Pelicans"

No, no that doesnt work at all, actually. Funny though.

 

[I LOVE YOU ABBY]

I like the name. It's unique and relevant to their city.

I wouldn't fuck with a pelican either.

@JerryBrewer: Who the hell thought Pelicans was a good name for an NBA team? It's not even a good name for a pelican.

true.

So now we really can say "Let's Go Cans!"?

And then fans can chant "Show us your cans!"

New Orleans should be the Jazz
Utah should be the Lakers.
LA should be......

I like this scheme, though it looks like the labeling for a brand of coffee or salted nuts.

I also like that they chose something that actually has meaning to the area, even if it sounds a bit ridiculous at first.
