The New Orleans Pelicans’ G League affiliate officially has a name: the Birmingham Squadron.
On Monday, the teams unveiled the new moniker, which ties in with the parent club’s branding and is a nod toward Alabama’s military history.
A squadron is one name for a group of pelicans. It also alludes to the 99th Pursuit Squadron — the Air Force’s first all-Black flying unit that trained in Tuskegee, Alabama — as well as Birmingham’s production of planes during World War II.

As I have said in other threads, this is one reason I fully expect us to use at least two 2nd round picks. We want to start that G League rebrand right

I like it. Part of the reason is it’s OURS. We’ve had to wait so long, almost last in the NBA, for this franchise to grow the brand to the G-League.
