Wth???

 

[JROCK]

That is the State's bird and a name that is closer associated with LA than Hornets. The city and owner wanted the name jazz back but Utah would not relinquish it.(see the flag in my signature)

Everyone knows that the pelican is the state bird...but the name chance to it some like some girl team shyt for a lack of a better phrase:emlaugh:

 

[jsupop33]

A nice friendly animal as a mascot?

 

[Bane]

Please tell me this is a joke?

I'm sure they would make that Pelican look like this: :lol: :emlaugh:

He already owns the rights to New Orleans pelicans ..so like jrock said...they'll probably roll with that name and make the mascot look tough

 

[JROCK]

Even a duck can be made to look mean and deranged. The duck below must have missed breakfast or something. :lol: :emlaugh:

I want to see that but....

If I wake up and see that duck or cardinal in my house late at night, I'm shooting and asking questions later. They just don't look like they have good intentions to me. :lol: :emlaugh:

The New Orleans Blues would be tight...anything but Pelicans...Ican't :emlaugh:

Shoulda been the New Orleans Krewe or the New Orleans Bounce

Neat! :lol: :emlaugh:

Maybe it is just me but the Blues seems like a name for a Memphis or Mississippi franchise.

I don't give a damn who or what the name is!!! Just win got dammit!!!!:shame:

I say they should have named them New Orleans Saints....:lmao: Hell I wonder what the rules are about name two teams the same name in two different sports.

You wouldn't understand, you're almost from Arkansas. :lol: :emlaugh: South Louisiana folks have had a problem with the name Hornets for a long time now. That's just us, we like our stuff Louisiana branded. :lol: :emlaugh:

I'm waiting on the Grizzlies to change their mascot to something that is associated with Memphis....

I think the Blues would be a neat name for Memphis. Of course if Mississippi ever get a franchise it would kind of put it out of play. South Mississippi's Gulf Coast are big New Orleans sports fans. Particularly the Saints.

In terms of marketing, this is worse than Houston choosing "Texans" as a mascot. You're not gonna sell many shirts outside the region.

 

[Dr. Phreeze]

Not a good move. It's not catchy.

 

[Get Ready]

I don't blame them. I wouldn't want to be associated with hornets either. Hornets are usually losers
