Sounds too much like a baseball team to me, but I did like the artwork Bigdub did for it over on HR.

Anyway, Mardi Gras is only a couple of weeks of the year, pick something that represents the city year round.


I have a Krewe year round. It's part of being a pimp. I understand you lack the requisite pimptitude.

Privateers
Roughnecks(if the Chouest group comes through)
Brass (although having an extremely corrupt NOPD makes this touchy)
Creole (builds on the melting pot)
Riverpilots

Krewe of New Orleans is just fricking pimp and only we could do it.

Youths would eat that shite up.

We could have one giant Mardi Gras ball for every game. Hell, they could have one close to Mardi Gras for a game and everyone could dress up. Masks in the stands.

I like it.

I would love Brass too I just don't see that happening.

I think those are pretty good arugments against Krewe. Look at the Thunder. They have that horrible logo and really no image. That is a big thing to avoid.

Now, when everyone is saying Krewe. Are we the New Orleans Krewe or is it Krewe of New Orleans. I just think the latter is a lot better.
Don't think a mascot is a big issue. The Lakers or Heat do not rely on a mascot. Most of them are pretty lame anyway.

This is my choice, and I think most people would comprehend the fact that it refers to a Brass band and not the administration of the local police.

Again, Brass is usually associated with police, and NOPD is corrupt like Noriega.

I think most opposing fans will jump all over the Danziger Brass.

Not bad. We could redesign Jabberjaw for a mascot.

When i say mascot, i mean logo. Which is HUGE.


When you win 10 NBA titles it doesnt matter what your logo is. Or if you have Lebron and Dwade on the same team

I'm not really talking about the mascot. I'm just talking about various images. The Lakers have the logo, font, and basically a monopoly on purple and gold. Different images can conjur up the Lakers in people's minds. The Thunder do not have that. Their font couldn't be picked out of a lineup. It looks like something you get on a video game in creat-a-team.

Some may argue that that is because they are new. But look at the Bobcats. They have the letter logo, the Bobcat logo, the racing checker thing. The Grizzlies are relatively new. They have the letter logo, the Grizzly, and the paw with the ball.

You are totally swinging and missing.
