I think we have a pretty likable team. Neither of my roommates are big NBA fans, but I put the games on in the living room. They've both started to like watching them play. It's an easy team to talk about with AD all over the highlight reel. It's just hard to get people to watch a game or two if they aren't big NBA guys. And usually, the big NBA guys already have a team. It's easy to feel how small the market is in our area, but I can see the Pelicans catching fire with LSU students if the tickets stay cheap and our team goes on a few streaks.

We have the worst fan base in the West. Sad but true.

Easily. But Jrue, AD, and Ryno are three of the easier guys to like in the league. I think the goal should be attracting LSU students to be fans. Maybe I'm wrong (and biased - I want some friends to watch the games with), but I think targeting college fans will make the Pelicans "cool"

That makes it cool for high school kids, their little brothers, etc. The ripple effect, but applied in a dumb way by a dumb kid.

I think we just need that "special season". Everyone wants to be a part of something special... Like Lebron's witnesses or OKC/GS climbing to the top. I think once we have that special season, many fans will hold onto it and be here to stay.

Macy's has a rather small selection of some polos and jackets.

That was the Hornets though. Do we have a single player/coach/executive from 2009 season?

*I'm still creating excuses for why we can't pack the arena for one single fricking game.

Heady, do you know if the black and gold store has any Saints or Pels sweatshirts? Not a hoody, a sweatshirt.


I can't find a sweatshirt anywhere, even looking online.

There just isn't a big enough of a fanbase in these parts. And not everybody in BR are basketball fans before they are football fans.

Dude, I just went in that place too. What a fricking joke! Not shite in the way of Pels gear. Pathetic.

Brilliant!

I'm sure Heady will pitch in as an investor

I bought a Saints Nike drifit crew sweatshirt from there last year.

Haven't seen any Pelicans crew sweatshirts. I tried to order a custom one from NBAstore.com a few months ago but they said they were unable to process the order, whatever the frick that means.

Speaking of bad experiences with purchasing gear, I bought a Jrue Holiday jersey shirt as a gift and the package was confirmed to be delivered. Never laid eyes on it. I guess it was snagged off of my porch before I got home.

Found these on amazon. Would be a great stocking stuffer IMO.

I've been looking for a cool Pelicans hat lately and all I can find are flat bills . Anybody know where I can find a non-ghetto one?

I was in Nawlins Sports on Sunday night and they had tons of Pels stuff. My gf even asked who the Pelicans were because even she noticed it.
