    I just don't feel like those are sexy uniforms. Perhaps they should have added a flor de lis to add some pizazz, maybe on the shorts. Heck even using black instead of navy blue would have made New Orleans known as the gold and black town. The font is good though, has a traditional feel to it.

    Looks like they just copied the Grizzlies.

    This is what they should have done.

    Looks like the Pelicans are gonna be one of those teams with a rebranding after 3-4 years.

    No alternate yet? I feel like the font should be a little bit bigger, and weren't they originally supposed to have red and gold as well, with the Pelicans logo somewhere?

    That looks incredibly bland.

    Two thumbs down for whoever designed this. Looks like generic practice uniforms you could buy off the clearance rack at an Academy or something.

    These uniforms look like Indiana's except plainer. Super disappointed with the designers for New Orleans. Definitely not a New Orleans party vibe. Can't NOBODY get down in these uniforms.

    Terrible. I could've made those. Looks like some combination of the Brooklyn Nets and NO Saints.

    I'm sure they'll look better when they play, since most of the colour / design are on the sides. But still, it looks pretty DULL.
    The font needs to be bigger for 'NEW ORLEANS' and smaller for the number LOL.

    Meh.

    Away jersey reminds me slightly of Indiana's.

    Somehow they figured out how to have a boring franchise in one of the most ecclectic cities in the NBA. Not one ounce of pizzazz in those uniforms.

    I wonder how long it's gonna take for anyone to take this franchise serious.

    somebody leaked this a couple of months ago, so i'm guessing that's an alternate.

    i like them, maybe a little bit too clean, but they wont look outdated in a couple of years.

    I'm the only one I know who likes the name and the design.

    I think the design is classic..understated is fine. The best organizations in sports have understated logos and unis, for the most part.

    I'm of the mind that teams don't have to have ferocious nicknames...connection with place is more important. Houston Oilers, for example. New York Yankees. Montreal Canadiens. This speaks to the "home crowd." Louisiana is the Pelican state. I think it's great.

    I realize I'm in the minority on this. But I don't think anyone is going to have a problem with the name or the logos/unis if or when they win a championship one day.
