Over on HR bigdub81, the poster that has come up with great concept artwork in the past on name changes apparently has a few team connections.

quote:

Since this story broke, I contacted a relative that has worked with the team since it moved here, about the possiblity of a rebrand and what rumblings that might be going on inside the office. I was told that names are being floated around amongst many of the workers and most of them are what people are giving up on this site. Jazz is the front runner but it sort of a dream more than a reality. I propsed both Krewe and Brass, and was told that they are favorites throughout followed by Voodoo, Creoles, Breakers and Pelicans.


...I took the liberty of forwarding my cousin the concepts that I have created and posted here on the site.

People are in love with the Krewe!

There's more to his post over on HR but the key thing seems to be Shinn was anti rebrand and replacing all of his FO holdovers with local employees when Demps came in has changed the team's resistance to rebranding. Sounds like it might actually happen.

Krewe
Creole
Voodoo
Breakers
Pelicans
Brass (I don't want anything that could be seen as a reference to NOPD)

Krewe is dumb. We'd be logoless and unintimidating.

Would you rather Nola Thugs? That's intimidating? How about Nola Police Brutality? You could use a burning body as a logo. Actually, go ahead and name one NBA team with an "intimidating" name. The closest you'll get is Grizzlies and Timberwolves.

Krewe of Thugs. Yay. Krewe is closer to thugs than anything else. A group of people.

Breakers, Pelicans I could live with. I still think hockey with brass. Same with voodoo although i love their color scheme. I mean krewe is just dumb.

I'm sorry, Warriors sounds intimidating, which explains the fact that they had to build a second arena to house all of their championship trophies.

I've thrown a lot of shite on the walls on this idea. I'm allowed to let my opinions morph and develop.

But the idea that I don't like krewe so it the only resort to that would be thugs is foolish.

this whole "brass = NOPD" thing is fricking dumb. just buy the name, logo and colors from C. Ray and be done with it.

neither of these logos scream corrupt cops.




ETA: change the B to a K and here's your Krewe logo
