Los Pelicanos

the problem for me is it's too half-assed done for me to get behind it

Los Suns? how about "Los Soles"... the actual spanish for "The Suns"

or "Los Toros" for "The Bulls" instead of "Los Bulls"

I mean... C'Mon Man

until they start doing it RIGHT... I want no part of it

that's Chinese which... to my knowledge... is VERY different from Vietnamese

and Vietnamese would work in NOLA b/c we do have a big Vietnamese population in our city... esp. out in NO East

and the Westbank

I see Los pelicans on our jersey and it will be the first time I intentionally not watch a game.

There's what, 2 or 3 Latinos that play in the league?
Horford, Vasques, Barrea.....

you don't see hockey doing gimmicky crap to try to get blacks watching.

Expand your market more to Asians.

Argentina, not in the league, Argentina

Argentina isn't Latin America
neither is spain.

where the Jeff were you with this complaint in like oct/nov

What language is spoken in Brazil and spain?
It's clear they are targeting the Latinos in this country, who make up the same % as blacks now.
the vast majority in this country are Mexican.

Let Houston, miami, and LA do the Mexican marketing themselves.

Never heard of another sport changing names like that. Not soccer, not baseball, both of whom have many players of the nationality.

Me not liking it has nothing to do with race, and all to do with how stupid I think the NBA is for doing it.

It's just stupid. I feel better about it this year after the Warriors/Rockets Chinese game. That's marketing that makes sense.

I'd like to see Timberwolves eh, for Canadien night.

the marketing should be about spain, not the poor spanish speaking Latin American countries that have no players in the leavue, or even a below average domestic league.
