    I wonder if they even gave the fans a chance to name the team. I doubt fans of a professional basketball team would willingly name them the Pelicans.

    The Lakers, and Packers don't exactly evoke images of ferocity...

    Just sayin'.

    I doubt fans of a pro basketball team would willingly name them the Knickerbockers...or Nets...or Lakers in LA...or Clippers...or Sixers...or Wizards....

    Neither does Red Sox...White Sox...Canadiens...Orioles...Blue Jays...Cardinals....Knickerbockers...Nets....Astros...Magic...Jazz....

    Many of these names...like Astros, Canadiens, and Magic are chosen because those names are relevant to their home towns...that's a good thing, I'd argue. And that's absolutely positively true of Pelicans for New Orleans, Louisiana.

    Maybe, but I really doubt that when the average person thinks, "New Orleans" they think "pelicans."
