I got it: the New Orleans Choppers.

Not really, but you know what I'm saying.

Brass or Voodoo are fine. Even Krewe, because frick everybody.

Arsenal/Artillery - Connection to the city's military past in colonial times and World War II.

Frontiersmen - Iberville and Bienville were "Coureur des bois (woodsmen)."

Revelers/Carnival/Krewe - Sure, why not.

Am I over thinking this? I feel the name should have a deep historical connection to the city. Too bad the "Tigers" are already taken .

"Artillery" would be good and historical. I wonder, since the Washington Bullets changed their name, if the NBA would think that name politically incorrect. Probably not, doesn't have the same connotations these days as "Bullets."

"Arsenal" ... the brand image there is taken throughout the world by the Premier League football club.

That's what I was thinking about Arsenal. I was trying to find a way to tie in the Higgins boats into the Hornets' name. Artillery would work for me.

Obtaining the Jazz name isn't happening unfortunately. So far, I like:

New Orleans Brass
New Orleans Soul
New Orleans Voodoo
New Orleans Blues
New Orleans Rhythm
New Orleans Sinners (it would never happen)

For some new suggestions off the top of my head (I'm aware some are ehh):
New Orleans Streetcars
New Orleans Nolias (short for Magnolia)
New Orleans Desire (from Tennessee Williams...)
New Orleans Parishers
New Orleans Jax (Jackson Brewery)
New Orleans Brews
New Orleans Creoles
New Orleans Breeze (Drew Brees reference)
New Orleans Porters
New Orleans Delta
New Orleans Steamboats
New Orleans Tankers
New Orleans Crescents


I'd change the colors to the traditional Mardi Gras scheme...purple, gold, and green.

Absolutely, we should send this name up to Stern.
