The only way Brass would be better is if the colors were Black and Gold like the Saints.

Krewe is about the dumbest name that has been pitched. I can't believe people actually like it.

Pelicans will be cool after the transition. People just don't like change and want to bitch. It is better right now than a bunch of other names already used in the NBA and we don't even have a good color scheme or logo yet.

The backlash is partially knee-jerk reactions near the moment of discovery.

After a couple of days, there's been far less or that. That's not really a reaction.

Plus, it's not like people who are moderately pleased run naked down the street screaming, "I've got not problem with that!"

This idea that listening to the loudest screams equates to a true measurement of opinion should be discarded. See how many people are going out of their way 1 week from the `announcement'.

Or, notice how many people are not complaining about the colors at the moment like they were a week ago.

This is the long play, and Benson has been thinking about this for a number of years, at least about the Pelicans brand. A night of "lawdy lawdy!" isn't going to affect the course.
