Look I think everyone has warmed up to the new name of the Pelicans. From a branding point of view like jerseys, t-shirts, and hats, I think it's a no brainer. It's just that the name Pelicans doesn't strike fear in anyone. By "unofficially" shortening the name to the Pels similar to that of the Knicks, Cavs, Mavs, sixers, blazers, or the old Sonics just gets the name out there quickly. Sounds more Bad arse than the perception of a dumb arse bird like the rest of the country thinks. NOLA was the laughing stock of the league when they announced the name change. What do ya'll think?

Lord knows the "Saints" strikes fear into the opponent.

Same tired arguments that make no sense. Pelicans is the team name. Abbreviate it to Pels when and if you want but changing the team name to Pels is retarded. Are people lambasting Oregon because their team name is a "dumbass bird?" Sounds like not everyone has warmed up to the name Pelicans just yet...

Pelicans are rather fierce birds. Read up on them.

You realize that the chant "Let's go Pels" was first used at the official announcement by Joel, right?

Pels has been the official "unofficial" nickname since literally day one.

I think a month long ban for you sounds about right.

Out of all of these the Knicks are the only ones that you could say "unofficially" shortened their name

No, and you should leave and never come back for even suggesting it.

Is Zach still calling us "Pellies" on the reg? I really wish that had caught on but after 18 months of trying I'm ready to give up on it finally

You can unofficially call them whatever you want.

I say this with all due respect and I mean all due respect.
