Stern need to step in and veto this for Basketball reasons.

I know Anthony Davis sorry he gotta play for the Pelicans

 

[Alexander The Great]

Don't.

The team named themsleves shortly after a devastating hurricane just hit the area, killed people, and caused more property damage, when adjusted for inflation, than any other in US history.

so you saying you really don't see the differences huh

Just realized their abbreviation will be NOPE.

 

[Easy-E]

Here are the other choices:

Louisiana State bird: Brown pelican
State mammal: Black bear
State reptile: American alligator
State amphibian: American green tree frog
State fish: White crappie
State insect: European honey bee

Didn't know this

Hornets aka Bees make a little more sense, now

I like N.O. Bears

They picked a fan idea?

Uni Watch readers redesign the Hornets - Sports Fans, Teams, Stadiums, Page 2 - Fandom Blog - ESPN Playbook - ESPN

I'm mad that I like these

No, Benson prefers Red,Navy, and Gold.

Kinda the NO Bucs feel

The Chopper City Ballers

 

[concise]

so you saying you really don't see the differences huh

No, I don't. Florida gets with hurricanes, Louisiana gets hit with hurricanes.
Lousiana hurricanes kill people and damage property.
Florida hurricanes kill people and damage property.

Tell me what else I'm missing or not seeing.

 

[Easy-E]

I like NO Knights, the best

I Saw This Scrolling On NBATV, I Thought It Was An April Fools Joke

Then I Realize It Was December And They're Serious

 

[BigSteve]

They should have been Krewe, or ANYTHING related to Mardi Gras.

They'd have their 3 color scheme already.

They'd throw beads during the games.

The fans could all yell "Lay zay lay bon ton roolay" (Is not Cajun).




THE PELICANS.

The NBA hates that franchise.

 

[EffedUp]

 

[Long Live The Kane]

pelicans though?

 

[Constellations]

word around town the name change was inspired by Anthony Davis's unibrow
