New Orleans Hornets new name is...........
- Thread starter PDXChris
- Start date
The pelican is Louisiana's state bird and appears on both the state seal and flag. A New Orleans minor league baseball team held the Pelicans nickname in all but nine seasons from 1887-1959, and again in 197
Will they wear Pelican briefs? 
Apparently that's some New Orleans reference. I had to look it up.
Now if the Bobcats rename themselves to Hornets, I will never be able to remember which franchise moved where. It's hard enough as it is.

I don't care if the Pelican is sacred in Louisiana, it's a dumb name for a team. I could see the name change if they really believed it would tighten the bond between fans and franchise but failing that they've just opted to be goofy.

Maybe the Cardinals can finally make that kind of gesture and tighten the bond between fans and franchise.

I could take you to two different spots in the East Valley and within an hour or less show you flocks of both Brown and White Pelicans., Cardinals and Cactus Wrens.
