I like generic names that aren't lame (Warriors, Bulls, Thunder) or regional names (Trailblazers, Rockets, 76ers, etc.)

Pelicans is a decent name.

A Pelican is a hypercarnivore. It eats only meat. Also, it'll eat other birds. But you're right I'm not serious

Because the name sucks.

Pelican V Hawk
Pelican V Bull
Pelican V Buck
Pelican V Bobcat

and so on

It is better than Heat, Wizards and other stupid names like that. I just think you could have come up with some swamp animal that could frick some shite up.

Lakers were in Minneapolis, where the name was relevant.

The same way there is no Jazz in SLC and no Grizzly Bears in the Mississippi River cotton fields.

It's a good name, it just suffers from the worst branding in major pro sports history.

Oh, so the ole which mascot would win in a fight, huh? Do you sometimes choose a team based upon who has the prettiest uniforms?

Do we really need to get into an analytical study of intimidating team names?

Pacers
Trail blazers
Phillies
Red Sox
Green Wave
Orioles
Bills
Browns
Blue Jackets
Blues
Dodgers
76ers
Spurs
Packers
Saints
Islanders
Ducks
Stars
Athletics
Mariners
Owls

And so on

The Brown Pelican (which is the state bird) would make a Hawk cry.

I like the Spurs name. It applies to the region.

FACT: Only tards in Louisiana would use "awesome" and "pelican" in the same sentence.

Have fun being mocked around the nation then wonder why nobody takes your state seriously.
