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



Those names had heritage as the franchises started in Minnesota (Land of the Lakes) and New Orleans (home of Jazz).

Jester the point in saying "unique" is that it represents Louisiana. Louisiana is unique in that we use the symbol of the pelican a lot to represent us. Seriously...its not the difficult to understand.

Heritage like....

The brown pelican was designated the state bird of Louisiana in 1966. Early European settlers were impressed with the pelican's generous and nurturing attitude toward their young, and the brown pelican has been a symbol of Louisiana since that time.

Just explain quickly and concisely why pelicans is a bad name.


Because it's a Pelican. Meh. I don't like it. Is it that hard to deal with another's displeasure?

This is why you don't try to call your own booms. They're rarely booms.

You are coming up with all these reasons why Pelicans isnt a good name when it really just boils down to you not thinking its "cool".

You've pretty much wasted everyones time here.

We wanted a mascot that represented our State and that is exactly what we got. Deal.
