New Orleans Hornets changing their team name to the Pelicans

It looks like Tom Benson will be changing the name of the Hornets to the Pelicans next season. I favor the name change since it reflects the city/state better than the Hornets did. What do you all think about this?

If people in New Orleans like it then fine, whatever. Now lets see that logo. Master_Live

They should have been the NO Krewe.

Shoulda just gone with Jazz and dared Utah to try and call them on it.

Reaction to OKC being called Thunder

I think it will be interesting to see how they plan on making the Pelican look tough. BatCrazedJoker

Pelicans are terrifying monsters. It shouldn't be that hard.

It also sounds much better if they change the name from New Orleans to Louisiana as well. And hey, if it lets Charlotte go back to being the Hornets, doesn't everybody win?

What is so un-intimidating about a Pelican. They eat birds and fish whole. If you sit down and look at all the nicknames, not very many of them are very intimidating, and the New York Knicks clearly have the oddest name.

Should be the New Orleans tsunamis GamingVengeance
