I cant even find pelicans shirts to buy. Compared to the Lakers, Celtics, Mavs, Warriors, or Cavs, no one really gives a shite about the pelicans. No spirit, frick it.

Ive seen more hype for Scotlandville games or YMCA youth games in BR.

I have been to the Mall, Acadmey, dicks, and Kohls. I can never find the exact shirt I see guys on campus wearing. Just the NOLA pelicans logo.

my point is that NOLA doesnt have the same atmosphere as other NBA teams.

You base atmosphere on the availability of t-shirts?

How many "atmospheres" have you personally experienced?

How was the Denver Nuggets atmosphere? Describe it to me in detail.

Also, I live in Dallas and you dont see Mavs shite anywhere here. You dont see really any Dallas team stuff here. Soooo...y'dumb

I'm not sure what the point of this thread is. You won't find anyone that says we have a great fanbase.

You can find the shirts easily though.

The availability of NBA t-shirts in August for that matter.

well considering you threw in HS & YMCA games, I doubt that was really your point.

but i'll play along. have you been to every NBA teams arena and whatnot? seems like a big jump to say the atmosphere is worse than every other NBA team.

Do you have a mailing address so OP can send him a letter asking where to find Pelicans gear?

Well yeah, how much success have those teams had the past decade compared to the Pelicans/Hornets?

Warriors gear was no where to be found pre-2014

1. the population center is pretty small.

2 there is no history of success. Jazz or Pels

so yes, the fanbase is meh.

I saw a poll once that has 27% of Americans as fans of basketball.

If you are looking at NYC, you have a base of maybe 5 or 6 million people - 25% of the 17 or 20 million in the region, all of 5 million grew up watching the game, many in person with a parent or uncle.
Chicago won championships and they have 6 million in the area.
LA won championships and they have 10 million in LA county
Boston won championships for generations and have many more people than New Orleans.
Philadelphia has championships in several decades. so the fans have seen greatness.


I was pissed when Utah took the Jazz AND the name. They should not have the name.
