Just call them the Pelicans you lazy frick. Why MUST you have a nickname? Does he call the Lakers the "Lakes" or the Rockets the "Rocks"? No. Damn I hate lazy wanna be unique sports journalists. Just call them their fricking name Lowe.
During TV Broadcasts and Sports articles writers and broadcasters have to refer to the same team over and over, so they look for other ways to reference them, its the nature of the beast.
You give me any sports team with more than two syllables in their name and they all have a well known shortened nickname.
