The new orleans pelicans?????
New Orleans Hornets Reportedly Set to Announce New 'Pelicans' Nickname and Logo
By Alex Kay(Featured Columnist) on January 23, 2013
The New Orleans Hornets are finally getting a nickname that is fitting and unique to the area that the basketball team represents.
According to Yahoo! Sports’ Marc J. Spears, the organization is going to officially unveil a major mascot change on Thursday, as the team is set to become the New Orleans Pelicans.
As per Spears, the name and logo will go into effect for the 2013-14 season, with merchandise availability not yet announced.
This also comes with a color change, as the team is reportedly (h/t Spears) ditching the gaudiness of their current digs and switching over to flashier, more modern colors.
It’s a welcome change for a franchise that never elected to adopt a unique moniker upon moving from Charlotte to New Orleans in 2002.
