WOW, didn't know they get that dangerous. Funny shite. I know I shouldn't laugh because I'd hate for my kid to have her head on those pelican jaws.

Pelicans without white is stupid.

Actually let me rephrase that, pelicans are stupid.

Do any of you have any idea what the market for the NBA is? Benson apparently doesn't with this name

Okay, and pelicans are still not unique to New Orleans, Louisiana, the Gulf Coast, the United States, North America, or the Western Hemisphere.



Of every mascot name of every team in any sport in the entire world, please list for me the ones that are unique to their city by your standards.

And what is exactly?

I've been to Mardi Gras in Galveston, TX.

And I guarantee there is brass/jazz whatever music all around the world. What "unique" name would you like that is more than pelicans

with the color scheme and logo, Pelicans will be legit.


Honestly, the colors may be more disappointing than the name.

It needs to be unique?

What would be?

False criterion.

Do you understand how stupid Lakers is for LA or Jazz for Utah? People will get over it.

I didn't bring the word unique into the discussion. Someone said that it was a good name because it was "unique" and "fun." I tend to disagree with both. Fun is arguable, but unique it just isn't.

Some people are pissed that this is disrespecting guys like Shoeless Joe Jackson who actually played for the New Orleans Pelicans.
