At least we are not the Pelicans

Honestly, I don't think it's that bad...it at least fits with New Orleans.

I always thought Nawlins should have kept Jazz name when franchise left for Utah. Utah had an ABA team called Stars so that might have worked for them. Pelicans; whoop de doo bird droppings doo.
 
Me too. Jazz fit in NO, but definitely not in Utah.

The Pelican is the Louisiana state bird. At least its attached to the location of the team. Hornets name was right for Charlotte, so it would be nice if they could have the name back. "The hornet's nest has long been a symbol for Charlotte, because in the American Revolution, her citizens fought so fiercely that a British general compared being in Charlotte to being in a hornet's nest." Technically, though they sold the rights to the name and the franchise history. Maybe they could work something out.

Well there are positive attributes. Some pelicans fish together in teams. Perfect synchronization that's amazing to watch. I was mesmerized by them at a S. Carolina beach.

Amazing wingspan. ;) And they are very efficient at gobbling up fish.
 
I wouldn't mind being the Pelicans, I wouldn't even mind being the Sacramento Maxi Pads as long as the franchise stays.

I wish all we had to complain about was our team's name.

Sad thing is they'll be bird dropping their way to the playoffs while we continue to get top 10 picks year after year
 
at least New Orleans will still have a team in 2 years.

and if the team does stay, id rather have the team named the Sacramento Turd Sandwiches than have the Maloofs as owners and Smart as a coach
 
New Orleans should be the Jazz, L.A. should be the Stars and Utah should be the Lakers but none of that will happen.
 
Not impressed with the name and definitely not impressed with the logo. Warhawk hit the nail on the head with the zombie reference. Of course, it could have been worse I suppose. What if the Louisiana state bird was the blue-footed booby?
 
The logo isn't horrible, I suppose. Only of the speculative mock-ups floating around that I like any better are the ones I've attached, but they wouldn't have fit with the color scheme anyway.

But the name is stupid. Stuuuuuuupid. And pretty much everyone here hates it. Especially considering some of the really good ideas that were being thrown around down here that had much more to do with the city itself than with the state of Louisiana generally (and, really, not even New Orleans wants much to do with that). So, not atrocious, but.... yawn.

These, on the other hand, I like. Have no idea who came up with them, or when, but they is pretty:

Now those are classy and rather reminiscent of the Mardi Gras masks. Good to see you post, btw. :)
