re: Hornets247 Rebrands to Bourbon Street Shots

The team doesn't own the term Pelicans. They can't. They can own "New Orleans Pelicans"

What Ozzy is saying, is that the team won't give them credentials if they brand themselves as being "Pelicans" or something. I can maybe get that. But the name they chose is really bad. Like really really bad. I can understand that they are an ESPN affiliate and not a fan site. But still have something to do with basketball in the title.

NOLA HOOPS 247
Crescent City Hopps 247


I don't understand why they picked the street known as a tourist trap.

If i just saw the name of the site, I would think it had to do with Bars downtown.

Sadly it sounds like they put a good bit of money into this horrible name.


also when you google the name, the first eight responses are about shootings on Bourbon Street. So they have that old Washington Bullets thing going for them.

I can get it is your baby 42, but you guys picked a bad name.
