I'm sure they'll probably have a Pels alternate at some point. But there is no reason to change the name.
Name intimidation is the worst argument ive ever heard over naming a team. I'm not just picking on you but in general this argument is brought up way too much. Most of the historic names in sports have no intimidation factor to them. The Boston Red Sox are hardly striking fear into anyone over a pair of clothing.

Maybe in another 5 years, I think the team was brilliant to emphasize New Orleans over Pelicans for pretty much everything. There's no better way to get this market to buy into a team before they start winning. Once Anthony Davis makes Pelicans gear a desirable thing, then maybe they can start emphasizing Pelicans or Pels, and nobody will laugh and point anymore.

I think people are already using the shortened "Pels" a lot. Doesn't really have to be anything "official" other than the franchise and the league allowing the use/licensing of the name on merchandise, etc.

you know... I wouldn't be against a "fauxback" uniform in the style of the old ABA Buccaneers that says "Pels" instead of "Bucs"
