Louisiana is the Pelican State. The brown pelican is the state bird and appears on the state flag and seal, and official state painting. Moreover, the Pelicans played minor league baseball in New Orleans in all but nine seasons from 1887-1959 and in 1977.Gayle Benson, Benson's wife, told Fox Sports New Orleans recently her preference for new team colors was navy blue, red and gold.

i agree that i'm cool with teams going away from "intimidating" names (bobcats, ugh) but pelicans is a bit too goofy

after suffering through so many awful new names in football and basketball we finally have one that:
1. is tied to the community2. is a fucking PLURAL
the other options were all pretty terrible. This is good. Embrace it!
