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
