    Hey we all know "trail blazers" refers to the white man taking the native's land.

    You'd think we would do better playing at Golden State if that were the case

    Funny, when I lived in Texas (1990) they said the same thing about the Ducks and the Beavers.

    I grew up in Chicago, and never cared for the pinwheel logo, but since I moved here and became a Blazers fan, liked it a ton more.

    As for the pelicans....not sure why it being unintimidating, or not scary is brought up often.
    Is it just something new where teams have to think up a scary animal that can maul you to be a good nickname?
    Knicks, Nets, Celtics, 76ers, Pacers, Pistons, Magic, WIzards, Nuggets, Jazz, Blazers, Clippers, Lakers, Kings, Suns, Spurs, Rockets. ooooh, scary.

    Pelicans are a bird of prey. I know I'd hate to be one of the fish they dive bomb into the water to get when I go to the beach

    Personally, I think they should have gone with "The New Orleans Bedtime Clowns."
