    Was listening to a local sports guy yesterday and he came up the New Orleans Blues. I thought it was pretty good.

    yeah, cause stealing a st louis team name is a brilliant move. :fp:

    perhaps they could have been the swampers.

    Hornets are changing their name.

    Pelicans works for me. The only suggested name I heard that I may have liked better is Krewe (and I generally hate singular nicknames for teams).

    The New Orleans Hornets are going to change their name to the Pelicans starting as early as next season.

    I mean New Orleans association with Blues music...I kind of liked it. They instead chose to steal a team name of a minor league team in Myrtle Beach. :lol:

    i get the blues....

    perhaps they can petition Utah for the Jazz name back.....

    and Utah can become the Utah Mormons....

    I heard the Pelicans are the state bird, but what is the logo for that on the uniform??? GUH!!

    I also heard the Hornet might go back to Charolette if available. Better than Bobcats I think. I also heard Krewe which I didn't know the definition of, but guess its a party/festival planner. DUMB!!

    Pelicans it is!?!???!?!?!?

    Yeah, sort of. They're organizations associated with putting together parades and festivals for Carnival/Mardi Gras.

    It's not someone who tells you what kind of hors d'oeuvres to serve at book club.

    Same here.

    I also don't get people who have a hard-on for "intimidating" names.

    Yankees
    Celtics
    Canadiens
    Packers

    Anything intimidating about those names?

    a few weeks back, the local Philadelphia Phillies affiliated minor league baseball team announced that they are changing from the Reading Phillies to the Reading Fightin Phils. This is a team that has been around for 46 years with that name.

    You tell me what animal is in this logo:

    If charlotte can get the hornets back why can't New Orleans get the Jazz back?

    That was perfect for them
    Charlotte 00
    Charlotte 03
    Asheville 04
    Atlanta 12
    Greenville 16, Columbia 16
    Seattle 18 
    Nashville 22

    Reading Athletic Club - 1858
    Reading Actives - 1883
    Reading Coal Heavers - 1897
    Reading Pretzels - 1907
    Reading Coal Barons - 1919
    Reading Red Sox - 1933
    Reading Chicks - 1938
    Reading Brooks - 1941

    i'm pretty sure another team is using that name at the moment.

    Should the Lakers also give their name back to Minneapolis?

    I'll give a pass to teams that formed a century ago that most likely formed as a company team and had no idea the team would be in a multi-billion dollar industry 100 years later.

    But the recent offenders that really deserve to be shamed are the Magic, Wild, Heat and Thunder. How dare they break the number one sports team name rule by excluding a "S" on the end of the name!

    :fp: :nono:

    Why the hatred on our MN Wild? You think Wild is dumber than Pelicans :fp: ???? Give me a break! The name might be iffy, but the logo is pretty sweet, I think at least. Don't mess with the State of Hockey! :nono:

    The same thing has happened to us twice -
    Lakers and the North Stars

    Granted its not a GREAT name, but from this list what would you choose??

    Freeze
    Northern Lights
    Blue Ox
    White Bears
    Voyageurs
    Wild

    No, I stated clearly that the Pelicans just took the championship belt of dumb names from the Wild. :P

    I just feel bad for Minnesota hockey fans. They went from a great name and great sweaters to The Wild and a sweater whose colors were picked out by the owner's 3 year old nephew who may possibly be color blind. :P :P

    ;)

    But yeah, that is a tough lot of name to choose from. I like Voyagers the best although it doesn't run smoothly off the tongue.

    That appears to be an ostrich. ;)
