Agreed. I'm pretty sure "Pels" will be the name used in "chants" or what the frick ever in the Arena


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.

Pretty spot on for a two sentence argument against it.
