I don't hate Pelicans...I think it is "state" driven....But!!

It just doesn't sound good....3 syllables just doesn't work for most team names IMO

I know its been said a million times, but VooDoo or Brass would be a much better option IMO

NBA:
Philadelphia 76ers
Cleveland Cavaliers
Minnesota Timberwolves
Portland Trailblazers
Golden State Warriors

MLB:
Baltimore Orioles
Cleveland Indians
Seattle Mariners
Washington Nationals
Arizona Diamondbacks

NFL:
New England Patriots
San Francisco 49ers
Tampa Bay Buccaneers

3 or more syllables is not an issue when it comes to team names. It's just a matter of getting used to it, in which case the number of syllables or the name itself won't matter.

Any new team name will seem strange at first. Also notice the two seemingly favorite names, the Brass and VooDoo, are both recent and already established New Orleans sports team names so they don't sound as strange to people. Pelicans will come around with time.
