re: Pelicans respond to frustrated fans

In hindsight They should have ridden the saints coat tails after the rebrand instead of trying so hard to brand themselves separately .

In hindsight, and I’ve said this a bunch of times. They should have rebranded to the VooDoo. They could have been the opposite of the ‘Saints’ and been the little brother into the darker side of things. Create their own true identity.

The name just fits New Orleans like nothing else and would have been a merchandise gold mine and one of the coolest names in the league.

Pelicans are just a big goofy bird and a name befitting of a minor league baseball or soccer team. Horrible decision by the Bensons.

Not gonna say I would have actually personally liked it, but for the sheer frickery and trollish energy it would have provided seeing the rest of the country grapple with it, I would have loved the supposed “leaked” list of five names to be true and Benson decided to go with the New Orleans Rougarous

Cauchemar would have also been fun from a frick-with-everyone perspective. While also having intrinsic Louisiana qualities

Voodoo sparks fear

Pelicans sparks laughs

Jazz, Lakers, Knicks, Clippers, Nets etc. Scary sounding nickname doesn't matter.

It doesn’t have to instill fear, but it’s just a goofy rebrand that’s at the bottom of the league. If they would have done it right, VooDoo would have been up there in merch sales

Ben Hales has this job because his father is a very well connected NO socialite, former Rex, etc. and he has no idea what he is doing clearly. Add him to the pile Pelicans front office staff with no business at their current position. The entire organization is a dumpster fire all the way down to these guys and it’s quite obvious to even the less-than-casual observer.

This team needs to leave NOLA. Go back to a real nba city with real nba ownership.

The front office is trash and they won’t fire themselves. Move this team and get this stink off

TRUEE! Everything BESIDES the iconic King Cake Baby. If they get rid of KCB like they did with nightmare Pierre then just move this team to Seattle

I mean. People actually care about in game entertainment besides the game?

Kids and wives certainly care, especially since all this entertainment we are talking about happens when the game is not being played.

The team has been garbage before, maybe not the same lofty level of garbage it is right now, but my wife still loved going for the whole package. Now she doesn't want to go this year after we have attended a couple of games. Nothing to keep her adhd satisfied, and the team is garbage. It's downright depressing at this point. I feel like we are being slapped in the face left and right for being a pels fan this year, as long time season ticket holders. Between the ridiculous make you feel stupid if you belive him Griff down to the anime clothes wearing giggling star, it really feels like I'm being pushed out as a fan. My family not wanting to go because they cut out everything from the arena, really doesn't fkn help.


I guess I'll keep coming back for more though because I love the abuse.

Why can’t they hire a DJ/Keyboard player like the Hawks have with Sir Foster?

That would cost the Pelicans money and I doubt Dennis would allow any spend with the take at the gate being down. The Pelicans are all about the money and only the money. Time for some new state subsidies I am sure.
