The Regime Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 The New Orleans Hornets are expected to become the Pelicans as early as the 2013-14 season, numerous sources told Yahoo! Sports. A change of the nickname has been expected since Tom Benson purchased the team. Benson owns the rights to the nickname Pelicans. Louisiana is known as the Pelican State. The Hornets also considered the nicknames Krewe (groups of costumed paraders in the annual Mardi Gras carnival in New Orleans) and Brass. With the Hornets abandoning their nickname, the Charlotte Bobcats can possibly change their name. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/sources--nola-hornets-to-change-nickname-to-pelicans-231227843.html LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

htownborn Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) I understand that a pelican is Louisiana's state bird but seriously that's the best they can come up with. Oh well I at least hope that Charlotte buy's back the rights to the Hornets I just can't relate with the Bobcats name.

Nitro Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 I like the court design...reminds me of the Warriors around the time they beat the Mavs in the playoffs. Still a terrible name, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DunkinDerozan Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Its not as bad once you think about some of the other team names around the NBA I guess. I really like the look of the court design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Nuggets, Lakers, Spurs...those are original though, and not named off an animal like so many [expletive]ing teams. And not only that, but it's not a very intimidating animal, and it just rolls off the tonge so badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Feelgood Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 You already have a long first name...New Orleans...but then you go add in a 3 syllable word, it doesn't roll of the tongue at all. I don't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Sheed Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 They are all fake. Why would they release if they havent changed the name yet. The probably havent even had the meeting yet to get all that in line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
