I'm a big fan of this, it's original. Has anyone ever actually been intimidated by a team nickname? I do see them putting "PELS" on the uniforms at some point instead of the full word. I think this will turn out better than people think.
Agreed. I'm pretty sure "Pels" will be the name used in "chants" or what the frick ever in the Arena. Three syllables is too bulky . . . imo,fwiw, etc.

That's a point I've made. There is no reasonable shortening of it and "pelicans" is just an awkward word to use contextually.
Look, I get that it's the state bird. I personally have no issue with pelicans as a species, but that's beside the point. It just doesn't work, in my opinion, as a team name for several reasons.
