DustDevil61 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Blue, red, and gold would be pretty boring colors for the Pelicans, that's the only downside of this for me. Hopefully they'll include a ton of gold in the uni's. enough red and blue in the AssociationThat's the biggest downside to this rebrand. Mind you, the rebrand itself isn't bad, but I just hope that the Hornets name returns to Charlotte.

bosrs1 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 What would the present NO Hornets rebrand to, then? Maybe they can do a swap with Utah and get the Jazz name back, then Utah could swap with Memphis and become the Grizzlies, they could swap with Minnesota to get the Wolves name, and then Minnesota and L.A. could finally swap between Lakers and Wolves.http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/8711940/new-orleans-hornets-change-nickname-pelicans-according-reportPelicans seems to be the frontrunner if you can believe it.

Billy B Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I'm disappointed to see New Orleans is changing, but 1) it looks like the Hornets name will go to Charlotte and 2) I really like the Pelicans name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eye Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Why decide to change all of a sudden? I guess the new owner wants to put his stamp on the team. Pelicans, eh? Hopefully the owner's name isn't Eli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

generalshepherd141 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I literally spit out my root beer and was glad my computer didn't crash. It is such a horrible name. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin23iu Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 It's funny, the Pelicans name is getting trashed on social media. I work for the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, and when I introduce myself as working in the front office of the Pelicans to people who haven't heard of us, the most common reactions is, "Oh what a cool name!" Maybe it's a "minor league" name, but I've always loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MellowTheMyth Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 It's too soft of a nickname for an NBA organization. Sure, the name may work in a geographical sense, but it wouldn't be my 1st choice. Plus, how would the image of a pelican be cohesive along side of the color scheme of Red, Navy Blue, and Yellow/Athletic Gold? The report also said that Tom Benson considered the names Brass & Krewe as new nicknames. Between the three, I would have chosen "Krewe" just because, but anyway, this is definitely not favorable. At least the chances of the return of the Charlotte Hornets has increased heavily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MellowTheMyth Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 From The Score:http://thescore.tumb...ns-pelicans-canI hope that's not the real logo. Too cheesy, if that's appropriate to say. But then again, it's not because its the same ball used in the Hornets logo. Look at how the lines are colored in up top, those are the Hornet's arms.

Cujo Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 ^^ The Pels aren't even going to be using those colors once the rebrand happens. An obvious fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nash61 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I will support the Pelicans name, only if this is used often.

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.
