I had thought of that one too, but is that not a WNBA team name? Not that it will probably be disbanded sometime in the near future.

No thanks. Precursor to the Mariners, and Seattle's minor league name.

Gamblers is kind of neutral. Don't think Stern's going to go for that one though.

Certainly not after Tim Donaghy scandal, and today's arrest of the Hornet ticket guy/BM.

i realize that, but i dont think it matters.

if you find anything associated with New Olreans that is legit its likely been used before.

I know you intend river Pilots after Chouest instead of Seattle's aero mecca, it's just that it sounds so mid-twentieth-century, and not very 2010 like Magic, Heat, Thunder, etc..

Soul or Brass though alluring to Nawlins past, is still modern and hip, if they were to be chosen.

I seriously hope Chouest does rebrand the team. Connecting the team with New Orleans would probably get some people more interested in the team, and Shinn was always too stuck to the Hornets name to realize it. Hopefully Chouest has the sense to do it because it really needs to be done.

I was thinking similar to the Pilots, with New Orleans Captains (riverboat theme).

This might be what Louisiana needs for people who don't watch the NBA to start getting excited about our NBA team

Nothing to do with the thread, but the Pilots moved to Milwaukee and became the Brewers. The Mariners came about later.

Put me down for begging Utah to give us back "Jazz".... it is absolutely perfect, and nothing else mentioned comes close.
