ROFLROFLROFLROFLROFLROFLROFLROFL

We'll gulp you!!!!

Named after a Baseball team!?

Pelicans are ****ing awesome.





































Said nobody ever.

This...

Why didn't they go for a dove or some shit?

I would, yes!

puke

They should have gone with the New Orleans JEEAAAAAAAAZZZZZ and hired the terrible Bill Grigsby impersonator they have on those commercials now as their stadium announcer.

Bluh blah blah bluh bon ton roulle JEEAAAAAAAAZZZZZZ

What are wrong with these owners? Too lazy to survey people to realize how embarrassing that name is? uck.

They should be the New Orleans Beer Looters. That would be AWESOME.

ROFLROFLROFLROFLROFL

Tryouts would take way too long...

New Orleans should be the Jazz. Charlotte can be the hornets again. Utah can become...... I got nothing

How about the "New Orleans Johnnys" since the city smells like a Johnny On the Spot?

Wife Collectors?

New Orleans Looters

"Avengers" would work.

Bwaahahahahahaha

Historic name in New Orleans.

New Orleans Floaters...

That's right, they didn't float, but they are shit!

How about the New Orleans FEMAs?

This!!!!!!!! :clap::clap::clap::clap:

So is the must and mold that permeates New Orleans. So call them the Spores..

I like it.

welcome your....



NEW ORLEANS SHOW US YOUR TITS


would help attrencdance with hot cheerleaders catching beads

I'll be honest.....that made me lol. LMAO

Apparently, they also considered Krewe and Brass before settling on Pelicans. They could have called them the ****sticks and I'd have preferred that to another of those dumbass singular names.

Doesn't mean people will like it.

New Orleans WeDon'tHaveChrisPaulAnymore

Pelicans are cool.

A crowd once gathered for me on Ocean beach pier near San Diego.

I caught a mullet from the pier and there was a Pelican sitting on one of the light poles above the pier.

I tossed the mullet up and the Pelican caught it , bounced it around in his bill and dropped it back down.
I picked it up and tossed it back up, and he caught it again, bounced it around in his bill and dropped it again.

He must not have liked the taste of mullet , I guessed.

I started to giggle and threw it again, he caught it again and dropped it again.

I kept doing this for about a half hour. I was playing catch with a ****ing Pelican on Ocean beach pier and a crowd gathered around and watched.

I'll never forget that shit and have liked Pelicans ever since.

Good thing they aren't a baseball team then..

I like it. Its not demeaning to any group of broke assed nitwits who hate to be a name of a sports team and it beats hell out of sporting New Orleans.

I don't really get it. A team named after a government agency that didn't help their city after a disaster?

Maybe the New Orleans Levees if you're going for the disaster joke. Now that's topical and ironic.

good lord, it should be the New Orleans Cajuns and be done with it already. what idiots.

They apparently also considered the Krewe and the Brass.

Cajuns are a minority in NO. You are a racist

:rolleyes:

New Orleans For Sales

(Get it? Because nobody owns them)

Ten bucks says the logo is something super gay like an angry pissed off bird with a basketball net for that beak bag thing that pelicans have

the New Orleans Red Beans & Rice!

Was New Orleans Hurricanes not an option?

So the Louisiana–Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns is a bad term?

I'd respect the New Orleans Crawfish more than the Pelicans. You can't even eat a Pelican...

I do like the new Brooklyn team, the look and the name (old NJ Nets team).

So they are going to shorten it to the Pels according to yahoo, whew, that makes it better, lol.

I just wonder what kind of sad cartoon characture of a pelican are we going to get, sailor, pirate, is there a chance that it will not have teeth?

I can not believe this is real.

surprised there is no tigers or wildcats in the NBA

This. Words escape me right now.

Do Jews like pelicans or does Stern's grandson fancy Finding Nemo??

Worst name ever.

And that says something being from Omaha, home of the Beef and the Golden Spikes...

Or the StormChasers... :facepalm:

They should relocate to KC and change their nick to teh Sukc

Makes one wonder if the putz that picked the Pels name might have been from Omaha, lol

Why? It's their state bird and has allot of meaning around the city. And is not a horrible name. Birds are Badass.

Meh. It's basketball. Could have just changed it to the Overgrown Children.

Is this going to be their new mascot?

I don't know if this is dumber than the Raptors or not. At least Raptors are scary. A pelican is only scary to fish.

Down on the Bayou they could be called the New O'leans Crocs
with T-shirts made up

The Crocs or Gaters would be 1000x better.

Pelican. A freaking Pelican.

The only other worse names for mascots are the Sioux City Explorers and the Mid America Nazarene Pioneers.

New Orleans Hurricanes. There I said it.

What's wrong with the Explorers? Lewis and Clark yo! :D

Hey, Lewis and Clark were genuine badasses.

Who kept a straight face in that marketing meeting when they said "Pelicans"?

I can hear their rallying cry right now.

"Beware of their peckers when you enter their nest"

Bobcats. Close enough?

You are firmly in the minority on this one. In fact, I think it is you and the guys who voted to go through with this that are the only ones who don't think it's laughable.

Why No New Orleans Hurricanes?

Problem is that that name there is not really a population of American Crocodiles near New Orleans. They live mainly in the far southern part of Florida only. It is Gators that are in those Bayous near NOLA.

That is friggen hillarious. Worst name change since the Washington Wizards. Hell it's even worse than that.

Pelicans are badass. (And the LA state bird.)

Crescent City Pelicans would have been better. They don't have to use New Orleans in the name. The Warriors play in Oakland but are called the Golden State Warriors.
