lol New Orleans Hornets

[J-Smooth]

The New Orleans Hornets are expected to become the New Orleans Pelicans, perhaps as early as the 2013-14 season, according to a Yahoo! Sports report.

Yahoo! Sports, citing numerous sources, reports the team also considered Krewe and Brass as potential nicknames.

The Hornets have planned to change their name since New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson, who also owns the rights to the Pelicans nickname, bought the team in April.

Utah Jazz doesn't make sense.

lol that would make a lot more sense.

I can pretty much guarantee new Orleans is never winning a championship. Nobody wants to play on a team called the pelicans. They'll be embarassed just walking out on the court.

And who would wear a pelican jersey?

Someone post that pelican clip from scarface...

The Pelicans? Players would ask to be traded from a team with that name. They should adopt a name from the French quarter.
