The fact that the branding represents the city way better than the Pels, on top of just looking way better than ours


How so? The Pelicans colors are literally the same colors as the city flag.

Your "thens" are out of order:

Lakers to L.A. - 1960
Oilers to Tennessee - 1997
Jazz to Utah - 1979

when did the Jazz go back to the musical note? Was it before or after Benson bought the Pels?

After he bought the team and changed the name to Pelicans (2013), the return of the musical note was 2016.

it was rumored that Benson tried to buy the Jazz name when he bought the team


I've heard that as a rumor, but I also have from 1st person accounts that Hornets owner George Shinn tried to buy back the Jazz name when he was owner of the franchise, around the time the team switched from teal to the "creole blue". A certain someone with local political connections, who used to be with the team, had actually worked out a financial deal with then Jazz owner Larry Miller to buy back the team name, but Shinn wouldn't/couldn't pay the price.

Ever watched Baseketball? It is a direct reference to that which isn’t in order.

Just wish we did the obvious and just kept the black and gold theme of the Saints the way NY and Pittsburgh have unified color schemes.


New York?

Only three of their 10 teams have the same color: Mets, Islanders, and Knicks.

The other 7 (8 if you include the suburban New Jersey Devils) all have widely different color schemes.

Do you mean that we don’t have a nice enough arena for the final four and instead have to Frankenstein the Dome?

Are you under the impression that “Frankenstein”-ing the dome is a NOLA-specific issue?

How many Final Fours have you watched in the past 30 years?

I still think they should have rebranded as the Krewe and used purple, gold, green as the colors. Have a jester, mardi gras figure as the mascot.
