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

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

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.

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.

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

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.
