Exactly what I am talking about in making a cartoon-y logo.

 

[eyedea]

[servechilled81]

[essential1]

Means Charlotte can go back to the Hornets

 

[frink85]

The red "aggressive" pelicans logo looks kinda like those generic minor league baseball/hockey logos of the 90s. If they changed up the font and typeface, then I'm on board

Also, Albuquerque Isotopes is awesome! They moved from Springfield!!

 

[nazdrowie]

Wizards should be happy that they're not in last place for having the worst team name in the NBA now.

i liked the Bullets name so much more.

I also heard of the name Crescent City Pelicans being thrown around as well which I do like.

These logos were not created by me.

I think it would be dope if they added the feather "texture" like on the wings of the second logo to the uniforms in the first quote. In a subtle way. Also, +1 for liking "pelicans"

Not every team mascot and name has to be aggressive, menacing, and tough. The Pelicans would be fine, no worse than a lot of team names out there. The difference is we've gotten use to a lot of the weirder ones.

A lot of people didn't like the Thunder name when it was first announced and I'm sure a lot still don't like it.. but we've gotten used to it and it doesn't seem as dumb after time has passed.

 

[antidope]

shoulda changed the entire color palette.. cause blue/red and gold.. not a bigfan.. they should've done something with green, purple and gold.. like they did with their mardi gras jerseys

Speaking of colors, I wish every city was like Pittsburgh where all sports teams have same color scheme.

@ lobotomybeats

And on the topic of cities w/ the same color schemes, 2 teams of the same sport in the same city messes that up. Sure, the Mets & Knicks can share colors, but the Yankees can't be the same
color as the Mets.

Yup. I've asked this question to myself before and this is the answer.

Sinners?

Someone told this joke to me today. Took me like 5 minutes to get it.

I liked the one PMatic posted.

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

@ the creative genius who thought of this name.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Noap. jazz is staying put. suck it

Wouldn't the Utah Incest or the Utah Polygamists fit better?

[Hahahaha]

I'm just happy that Charlotte gets the Hornets name back. Bobcats sounds ridiculous. As for New Orleans, who gives a ****. Team doesn't even belong there. They're just searching for new ways to keep it afloat before they have to shut it down. Should name themselves the Sonics and head to Seattle or somewhere they would actually sell out games.

dont like the name.. logo looks cool.. but not a fan of the pelican and the colors.. looks like the lebron cavs jersey... needed to go with green/gold/purple..

 

[Peep Game]

Very dope logo, but...ehhhh, Pelicans just sounds so College Football (same as the Bobcats too). May as well go all in and be the Fighting Pelicans.

I'm still hoping for Krewe with Mardi Gras colors or Knights with black/gold since the Jazz won't give us our name back.

As much as Jazz doesn't fit Utah, that name has been part of their history for too long and there's 0% it's leaving. I would LOVE that name for NO though.

Krewe and Knights were the top two I was hoping for, in those exact same colors you mentioned. Leaning towards Knights more cause of the black/gold, and some of the fan made designs I saw for Knights was
