I know it's just a costume, and costumes don't have feelings, but I hate to see the negapierre reaction on twitter locally and nationally. Someone worked hard to make that too. I kinda feel bad. Lol


Those people don't "get it". I know it's cliche, but New Orleans is just different. Obviously it was designed to be different and quirky. Negative or positive, it's creating a buzz and the national media is covering it. It's just a damn mascot. That's a win for Pels PR.

Not really. Just kind of calmly discussing how terrible it is. It looks like the Ultimate Warrior raped some bird that isn't a pelican and Pierre was the unfortunate offspring.

What a load of bullshite. I live in NOLA. I know it's different. But not one person that I know would imagine that hellspawn looking thing as being a logical representation of New Orleans.

Hell, give it a headdress as an allusion to the Indians. Okay. Makes sense. But not some weird arse clown/kabuki mask looking thing.

But I guess I just don't "get it." Go smoke some Parliaments and drink a PBR.

The old saying is "Bad PR is better than no PR." No pr = you're not relevant and no one is talking or thinking about you

Was giant teal hornet a logical representation of New Orleans?

I've never smoked a cigarette in my life, and I hate PBR.

Of course not, which is why I had no complaints about a rebrand. As for the rest, I wasn't talking to you. Unless that was your alter.

Honestly, it wouldn't be nearly as bad without the mohawk.

I love our mascot, he doesn't look as soft as I thought he would...

IDC if people think he's "scary", they're gonna hate on us about something, might as well be our badass mascot..

Go Pels!

I don't know. The mohawk gives him that taxi driver crazy look.

Pelicans have mohawks. In fact I'd say Pierre looks like 96% of the pelicans I see erryday.

He could have been way worse imo.



I like Pierre to be honest.
