| What makes a good name? (Posted on 12/5/12 at 4:33 pm)
1. Winning
2. Color scheme logo
You can't just judge the name on its own. If you did 95% of the names in the nba would suck
So stfu!!!!

Long term I agree it doesn't matter, but I think Voodoo was a "good name" that wouldn't have caused a meltdown had it been available. It and Brass seemed to have the best ratio of supporters to haters.

Apparently it's an inanimate idea. Soul! Bounce! Krewe! Brass!

The stigma attached to it.

Winning helps speed up the process of forgetting a bad name. But it doesn't make a name better. Color Scheme and logo play a role. Probably the biggest role honestly. For instance, I hated the name "Pelicans" before I saw some cool design logos from fans. It made me like the idea more.

i agree with this. when pelicans was first introduced a while back i despised it mainly because of that gay arse pelican design where i guess they were trying to make him look like a cartoon mardi gras pimp. then i saw the design that tigerinatl has as his avatar and instantly felt better about it. still dont love it but hate it a lot less

I don't really care what the name is, but if you lay out 3 in front of me, I'll rank them
Pelicans
Brass
Krewe
Could have lived with any. They will write their own story

Pelicans is the best brand nationally and it's got local history with it. Win-win.

Well, it's currently being ridiculed by everyone who isn't a Hornets fan, so I don't know about that. If we start winning games and don't make it look like shit, though, then people will get used to it just like they did with the Thunder. I don't have an issue with it, but Brass was my favorite and is preferred by most of the country.
