re: Will the backlash from the public about "Pelicans" change Benson's mind?

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.

But several national polls indicate that the majority of all people polled, not just the loud voices, do not like it. Also, because the fervor has quieted down doesn't mean people are suddenly liking it. They've just grown tired of voicing their opinion, which happens in almost every situation like this.
I just think it is very disingenuous to imply that it was a small minority complaining, when it is clear that the general reaction is negative.

This is a stupid arse argument, everything gets more attention immediately after being released. I'm not still running around saying SAINTS ARE THE BEST WE WON THE SUPERBOWL from two years ago.
