I laughed at first. Pelicans. But it is poetic for them.

I think the Louisiana Pelicans sounds better then the New Orleans Pelicans but I like it. It has local significance although I liked the Krewe better.

Consider me as someone who doesn't mind the name.


Not any gayer than "Magic", "Heat", or "Thunder" to name a few

My THOUGHTS are that the CHARLOTTE Hornets are COMING back

I didn't see the bat signal!

Hell Yes! This is awesome news and even the 6% anti Hornet group should be happy too as very soon, MJ will have to address this.

We can also end this minimum of 2 years BS.

Get ready for onslaught of Charlotte Hornets topics in the newspapers and sports talk radio shows.

If we changed our name to the hornets how long would it take?

I actually like the "Pelicans" name. Seemed weird until I said it out loud, but it grows on you fairly quickly. It's also a pretty bada$$ bird. We associate big, square jaws with stereotypical tough guys, and I suppose the pelican has the avian equivalent of that with its giant throat pouch connected to its beak. They're like Bruce Campbell with feathers.
