F*ck you, Pelicans are Awesome: A Defense of the NBA's Best New Team Name

[QUOTE=rodman91]I think it's one of the best. Easy to remember and say..also basketball related.[/QUOTE]

Maybe New Orleans should just change their name to "Balls" then by that take.

I love the name.

[QUOTE=RobertdeMeijer]A friend of mine suggested:
New Orleans Voodoo

I like it, but I wonder if voodoo is too evil/politically incorrect for some people.[/QUOTE]

That is probably the most badass suggestion I've heard (I like Looters too). It may offend some, but they should have taken the chance to stir some controversy.

make a Voodoo logo.......

[QUOTE=jl1718]Never understood why Memphis kept the Grizzlies name. Perfect name for them is the Blues. Phoenix is AKA valley of the sun. Cavaliers I assume is based on Ohio's french roots.[/QUOTE]

That's horrible. Do you know what that would do to team mentality if they are known as the "Blues."

That's like calling a team the "Gloomies" or "Losers."

Should of named it the "Titantic," y'know for the time the city literally sunk during Katrina.

Doesn't seem to affect the St. Louis Blues in the NHL. I'd like them to be called the Memphis Blue Notes though just to give a little distinction.

I'm not skilled with graphics, but it could be something similar to this clock or medicine man.

How about the "Walmart Looters" (Katrina) or the "Inbreds" (y'know to represent the Cajun south).

[QUOTE=WolfGang]Only tourist use the word "Crayfish." Down here we call them shits crawfish.[/QUOTE]

I know.....I typed in Crawfish first and got a red spell check and changed it :oldlol: I haven't even heard any other tourist use CRAY in the 20 years I've been going there....lol. I have a big basket of boiled crawfish in the morning along with a bloody mary after drinking all night :cheers:

Voodoo is actually one of the best names....but yeah, it's not P.C.
Mascot would be awesome!!!!

I say the "Flippers" to represent the only job they can get after hurricane Katrina: flipping burgers.
