Saw a report on ESPN that the New Orleans Hornets are changing their name to...

The New Orleans Pelicans...

*Facepalm to forehead*

What are they thinking. I also saw that they were considering Bass or Krewe. Bass was the only good one and even that one was terrible.

Your thoughts on the name change?

1. Do you like the Name Change?
2. Should They have changed the name?
3. What should they changed it to if not Pelicans?

I have never herd of a team being called the pelicans. I think it might be good to change it up a little every once in a while.

It seems ridiculous to me. I don't think that they would have to change the name, but like lots of NBA teams, it seems like a logo change would be needed. I don't know what they should change it to, if they are going to change it.

I guarantee that if this happens New Orleans will lose quite a few fans. I mean the Pelicans? That sounds like a children league team. But that's just my opinion on the matter.

This is great.
Seriously, Anthony Davis and Austin Rivers as pelicans.
Imagine Chris Paul being there as a Pelican.
That's just funny.

Totally ridiculous name. I can think of 10 different names off the top of my head that would be cooler than Pelicans. Why not New Orleans Voodoo or New Orleans Cajuns or Deltas. The city has such a wealth of history and tradition naming a (non popular) NBA team the Pelicans just spits on that. The only thing I can think of that Pelicans relate to is the movie "The Pelican Brief" was filmed there. Just sad, the name Hornets was possibly five times cooler than the Pelicans and the New Orleans Voodoo would relate 100% to the city's culture, history and mystic!! Plus how cool would Voodoo gear be? I can't believe they not only missed out on such a great sale for a struggling team but also destroyed what was left of that teams pride!!

I saw this on Facebook... shaking my head... So sad. 
Now, to answer the questions you put forth since nobody else is...

1. Do you like the Name Change?
Even though I do not follow basketball, I think it was a dumb move. Didn't they used to be the Hornets? They should have stayed with that... I mean, come on! Pelicans are in Puget sound a lot... not New Orleans... at least to my knowledge...
2. Should They have changed the name?
No, they should not have. I am not sure that the players are very happy with it. And no happy players means no good performances. No good performances means no fans... No fans means no money. So... name change = NO MONEY!!!
3. What should they changed it to if not Pelicans?
I think they should have kept it as the Hornets. If they absolutely had to change it? They should have done something that deals with their history... New Orleans is so rich in history.

The Louisiana state bird is the Pelican. Therefore the name change makes some sense. (I live in Louisiana) It was unexpected. I don't follow the Hornets/Pelicans but I know they suck. As for what they should have been called, Jazz,  The New Orleans Jazz..

The only good thing about this is that it makes some sense. I think that it was a weird change but it was fine with me.

Well, Hornets are becoming extinct, that I guess I could deal with it. Also, Seattle will be the Super Sonics. I thought New Orleans could be the Jazz as they used to be.

Oldschool41 : I don't think it's so terrible. I mean, an name's a name. Weather it's Hornets, Pelican, Bass, or Krew. The players don't care, the die hard fans don't care. I live near NO, and that's our state bird, well kinda not, It's a brown pelican. But anyway, I know there would be a lot of NBA prospects who'd love to get picked by the Pelicans than have to go to the D-League.

Intensity- Will be lowered, Let's Geaux Hornets, Let's Go!
                                                Let's Geaux Pelicans, Let's Go!
Hornets feels better on the tounge.
But I played basketball for a team called the Pelicans so, it didn't matter to me what our name was we were winning so...
Changing around the name and uniforms won't make anyone better, they need to understand that, it's nothing wrong with miscellaneous, it's the players that need improvement. And things change, spending Buceaux money for a team with two stars will be a bust.

But it's their money so, can't tell them what to do with it.

That's it.
