New Orleans Pelicans?

[ChicagoCavFan]

Was considering listing all of the NBA cities and coming up with an appropriate name for each team based upon the city, etc....

May have to be moved to EAYOR though.

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

Can be said about a lot of teams. But New Orleans Jazz has a very nice ring to it.

I think Pelican gets a bad rap cause it's not a predatory bird.

Can we start the official NOPE short form for them?

It is better than the Colorado Lark Buntings. That was either the greatest, or worst, possible name for a professional bball team.

Me too.

Hahaha watch the Pelicans be nicknamed the P-Cans by the front office, and then have two mascots, a bird named Bill, and a feminine nut named Sandy. It's just too cheesy to not happen.

 

[Mdog1]

Me too.

Me three.

I'll start with the Los Angeles F*cking Bullsh*t.

This just proves that smart people don't have common sense and the ones that do kiss ass, shut their mouths and collect their paychecks lol.

I bet in their boardroom meeting when the name "Pelican" was unveiled, they all were fist pumping and high fiving each other and quickly proceeded to the bathroom to throw up.

New Orleans Pelicans?

There abbreviation in the little score card in the lower left corner better read "NOPE!," or else why even bother?

 

[czvo]

I like it. People take nicknames too seriously anyway. Its unique and related to the area. Good enough for me.

Proposed Trade

New Orleans Hornets trade their name to the Charlotte Bobcats
Charlotte Bobcats trade their name to the Utah Jazz
Utah Jazz trade their name to the New Orleans Hornets

Everybody happy, happy, happy.

So they finally make the "Hornets" name fucking WORK for them.......

Yes, The "Fleur de Bee" is so fucking perfect - I had to post it TWICE.

Best god damned look/theme/scheme in the NBA since the LBJ era Cavaliers - And they wanna swap it out with that GARBAGE?!?!?!?
