The first one with the hat reminds me of the voodoo guy from Princess and the Frog, which is cool. But, yeah, the second one should be what they go with; it looks good.
This might be the logo that leaked today: Hope not, looks more like one of those motor cycle wings but the colour scheme does match what the owner wanted (navy blue & gold).
To the people saying the "New Orleans Brass": While that is a pretty good name, it was the name of a local hockey team not that long ago. It might appeal to people nationally, but to the people of New Orleans, "New Orleans Brass" reminds them of the hockey team. While the Pelicans isn't a bad name, I personally like "New Orleans Delta". New Oreleans Krewe is also decent.
New Orleans Gumbo New Orleans Beignets New Orleans Voodoo New Orleans Mardi Gras Any of those would be good

Anthony Davis has to be one of the ugliest people on this planet. No matter what he's wearing, all the attention is gonna go straight to his face. I do like the jerseys though.
