New Orleans Hornets soon to be… The Pelicans?!?

This was my exact thought process when I heard the news… Then tears proceeded to run down my cheek. Not from sadness… from laughing so hard… New Orleans fans can’t be okay with this… they can’t be… can they?

  1. Awesome name… and I’m being serious. Seriously , I don’t see why people have a problem with the name, it’s a fantastic name. Something unique and true to their state.

    Do people not realize how dumb other team names sounds?
    Thunder/Magic….sounds like a new wnba team
    Bobcats….how long did it take to come up with that name?
    Nets….lolwtf?

    Once the team builds history and becomes part of everyday lexicon then people will stop over analyzing the name and no one will think twice.

    Btw, Pelicans are badass and tough SOB who don’t give a shit. Watch and learn, haha….

  2. Maybe they’re switching because hornets rightfully belongs in Charlotte. I wish NOLA could be the Jazz again, but Utah has more history with that name than NOLA. But Charlotte’s situation is different. They have much more history and respect with the hornets name than new orleans ever has. Charlotte broke attendance records and made 14 playoff appearances under that name. Plus hornets goes back to our history in the civil war, but has no real meaning in NOLA. I agree, pelicans is a terrible name for an NBA team, but it’s time for a name change for both cities.
