    Name makes sense, seeing as Anthony Davis has one above his eyes.

    Exactly, because if there's one thing people in a state care about, it's the state bird.

    I'd have to cheat and google it to even tell you what the bird is for Texas.

    Let's see: "the Northern Mockingbird"

    Yes this is so significant to me. Really resonates with me, yeah. Houston Mockingbirds basketball.

    Mockingbirds sounds way better than Pelicans.

    They'll call them the Pelican'ts when they lose.

    Which will be a lot.

    hate it.

    New Orleans Blues because the team makes fan's :(
    New Orleans Twenties
    New Orleans Fappers

    The Fappers missed the tip in, got the ball back, slowed the game down and took another shot for the win....but they missed. The Fappers lose a lot.

    Voodoo was tossed around in this thread but it's already been taken by two different eras of Arena Football League teams in the Big Easy.

    And goodness, you can't even shorten an excessively long name like Pelicans as you can with others with long names that are annoying to say sometimes, like the Wizards (Wiz).

    I was thinking it sounded like an XFL team but yeah, Arena League sounds about right.

    New Orleans Jazz is so perfect that anything else is a disappointment. Eat a dick Utah.

    I think they're going to have to buy the rights from Bungie...

    No. Please don't do those guys like that. New Orleans has been through enough.

    I actually like the name. It's unique. I think it's goofy that every mascot has to be "tough" or "intimidating." Teams don't play worse when they are playing against the Lions instead of the Ducks.
