    It all comes down to tradition. Technically I think the Lakers is the worst name in pro sports. Especially for LA. But because it is been around forever, and has so much history, it is considered a great nic-name. The Pelicans will be a great name too......in 40 years

    My hope was

    1. VooDoo (Awesome)
    2. Pelicans (State Bird)
    3. Hurricanes (Fitting)
    4. Surge (Fitting)
    5. Crayfish/Crawfish/Crawdads or Mudbugs (whichever they prefer. State Crustacean)
    6. Gators (State Reptile)

    Colors will be Navy, red and gold, according to their forum

    How about the BP Bankrupters?

    British Petroleum, not Blazer Prophet.

    ...that reminds me of a friend of mine that was feeding grilled chicken to wild chickens near the outdoor patio of a Hawaiian cafe.

    After all the negative attention this is getting in the media/sports talk shows, I'll be surprised if they do make the change to the Pelicans.

    Pelicans > Thunder.

    Pelicans > Heat.

    Pelicans > Magic.

    N.O. Pelicans > Utah Jazz.

    Not the worst name, but it's definitely in the bottom ten...

    ^^ I disagree. Pelicans will be the worst name in pro sports, without a close 2nd.

    a sandy pelican is when you are getting head or fucking on the beach, and you take your meat hammer out, dip it in the sand, and then stick it back in

    Cajuns would have been better. They could have had a redneck with a toothy shit eating grin as a logo.

    Why not "Gators"? They are the indiguous species there; plus they sound much tougher than the Pelicans.

    Watch, they'll just be known generally as the 'cans. Kinda works with the whole Mardi Gras thing if you think about it.

    "You gonna go see the 'cans tonight?" "Of course! You can't go to New Orleans and not see some 'cans."
