New Orleans Hornets will become the New Orleans Pelicans.

The next step for the Pelicans should be getting rid of Austin Rivers.

Vikings In Minnesota ?

Yes, well, kinda. Minnesota is the part of the country that is most similar geologically to Scandinavia. So if you go there, the place if chock full of Swedes, Norwegians, Danes, Fins, etc...

The way I always saw it is that I felt the Thunder was a terrible name too, but I got over it.

Love the logo.

[KNUBB]

Just a little concept art leaking out.

That half-court logo is massive. Hardwood looks nice, but I like the Brooklyn Herringbone better.

[killgod]

that actually looks pretty decent.

Kind of weird they don't have a Pelicans wordmark on either the home or away, but I guess they are going for the Knicks/Nets "the city is our brand" thing.

The current Jerseys say New Orleans. I thought these would say NOLA though. Apparently this is one of the mocks sent to the league office.

Damn, I'm not even a Hornets fan and I'm excited

I think it more like "You already know we are the bad-ass fucking Pelicans...no need to put it on our jersey".

Did Clint Eastwood ever mention his name in any of his Westerns? No, because he was such a bad-ass. Like the Pelicans.
