Benson said he is also trying to change the name of the NBA team to better fit the ambience, culture and charm of New Orleans.

"We need to find a name like (Jazz)," Benson said, referring to New Orleans first NBA team that relocated to Salt Lake City in 1979. "Whether we can get that or let us use that, you've got to know we're working on it. We'd like to change it tomorrow. We have not gotten that approved, but we're not letting up on it, either. Because we've got a good relationship with the commissioner and his people and we're going to be on them daily to do something."

Are you kidding??? The good news just keeps flowing in. I never thought Jazz would be realistic option.

Greatest day in Hornets history

The only one that fits his ideal besides "Jazz" is "Rhythm."

Not that I'd want it, but has anybody considered the "New Orleans Revelers"?

What about Pilots?

Logos and colors focusing on the RIverboat variety.

I also really like "Monarchs." I think it would fit with the culture, but isn't really cheesy and terrible like most of the culturally inspired names that get thrown about.
