Dude, they are the home of the greatest space agency in all of history. Rockets/Astros are solid names for Houston teams.


i understand that. I was talking about just the name, really. Pelicans are a symbol of Louisiana

So are crawfish, gumbo, jambalaya, magnolias, cur dogs, and swamps, but that doesn't make them good team names.

I hope Pelicans grows on me if it is selected, but I'm not really a fan of it right now.

This is correct.

I'm far more interested in the new color scheme anyway.

Honestly, who REALLY cares about this?

I mean, yeah, its not my favorite, but it could be worse.

They aren't being called the New Orleans Dingleberries or anything.

Just win.

Dumb idea! They need to keep the Hornets. Plus, what will happen to the honey bees if they go with the Pelicans?!?!

Man, I hate Pelicans as a new name for the team. If that's the top choice, don't change it.

What do yall think about the

New Orleans Surge?

NOLA Spice?
