That "Crew" ish was fire. I thought they would go with that.
@greenwood
You're right about the syllables and having a name that flows smoothly together. It don't really go together.
But, they did choose some pretty good colors to market. That navy, scarlet red & gold (which I'm assuming will be their new colors) is a pretty good color scheme. Those Cavs jerseys when LBJ was on the team were all over the place. I can see an Anthony Davis jersey selling well over time.

Yeah, the color combination is cool too. And the overall design is not bad either. The artists did the best they could with that wack ass name. I'll give'em that.

I live in VA now but I'm from Louisiana......and that shit is corny iMO. I understand they wanted it to mean something to the City/State....but Krewe or VooDoo or hell even Brass would have been better. Saying its because its the state bird is a cop out to me. Benson picked that name cuz he already had that it in his vault of shit he already owns. If he still owned VooDoo (which he used to cuz he was the owner of the AFL team but sold it and the naming rights) I'm pretty sure he woulda picked that. He coulda kept the logo and everything cuz it was dope.
I get why most in NOLA are warming up to it cuz what can you do? But I don't like the name. Don't mean I won't watch or support but shit I know plenty of Wiz fans up here that refuse to buy merchandise but they'll go to the games. If the keep the front of the Jersey New Orleans like they have it now I might get one but dammit....let me stop so I can get my blood pressure down.....

It would have cuz the people in NOLA bought a shit load of that merchandise when Benson owned them. They loved the team and the logo. When there was talk that VooDoo might be a consideration my uncle down there was hype cuz he already has some merchandise and was ready to rock it at the Basketball games.

Anyone outside of N.O. would not like it by default, but for people in the city, i can understand why they dont. But in 3 years, everyone will fuck with us. Thats a FACT.

One of those "We couldn't afford an official NBA license so we just make up our own squads" - Squad
The Pelicans.
I still cringe when I hear that. Stern must've been bribed some serious shit to let that one stand. The Voodoo, Brass, Krewe, or that Dukes design should've definitely been explored.
Obviously, the best logo for them would've been the Jazz, but if Utah gives that up, the fuck would THEY use....what's in Utah? I almost can't blame them for holding on to that name, unless we want to see that Utah Mormons or Utah Desert Wranglers or some shit.

At least they didnt go with an even more stupid name, like those team names from the LLFL or what the hell that league is called
