How likely is a name change after the franchise is purchased?

I hear people say things about the name change. Is this just hopeful thinking? If Benson buys the team, I think it would be cool to have a name related to the saints(I have no idea what this could be). About 99% of the time I am against name changes, however I think I could accept this one.

i doubt it, but it's possible if it's Benson. If it's GC, I doubt he changes the name

I like it. I am not saying I would like to see a name change. If one does happen it will not be the end of the world for me.

New Orleans is the most unique city in America and their fricking basketball team is named the Hornets and they just use a bunch of puns dealing with bees? Come on.

After suffering through this uncertain shite since they've moved here, the name actually has sentimental value to me.

Yeah, that would be fricked up. Who the hell would name any team the Cajuns?

Hell, if you can't get the Jazz back the next best/most spiteful thing to do is change the name to Blues.

Eh, I'm not attached to shite dealing with Shinn.



If anything, it would be the New Orleans Creoles. Just give UNO $100 and use Privateers.

I don't mind the Hornets, but I'd be OK with changing to something more representing of NOLA. As long as we all get a gift card to the new team store to replace our old gear.

I'm sure they wouldn't be happy but it happens. There is an NHL team named the Jets and an NFL team named the Jets.
