N.O NBA New Name Suggestions:

[leeman]

Just curious as to the possible names of the Brand New Orleans NBA Team!. Please give your suggestions: I've racked my brain, but cannot come up with anything good ;(. cheers. Go Cajuns!

Pelicans-------- although the suggestion of taking back the JAZZ makes too much sense!!!!

[ULshooter2491]

The need to buy out the naming rights for The New Orleans Voodoo. It's not like the arena football team is worth a damn anyway.

Or something to do with pirates.

[The Floridian]

Krewe?

[raginsaints]

Brass
Privateers
Marauders
Pelicans
Blues

[CajunEXPRESS]

I think the Utha Jazz makes zero sense, but it has been there too long. It would take decades for that name to belong to New Orleans again. I still say the Baltimore Colts, but none of my sons do and they are in thier 30's.

Then of course there is the legal issue, you simply cannot take back what you never owned.

New Orelans is famous for many things but the port on the Mississippi River, Mardis Gras,music, and food are what the world thinks of.

Pilots, or River Pilots

[Hudsheen#Fired]

I have no idea

but they need to change their colors to black and gold

[ULshooter2491]

Bounties
Criminals
Slumlords
Bensons-because they need to be reminded daily what a tool their owner is
Drunks
Rainbow Warriors.

New Orleans Free Boosie
Nola 9th warders
New Orleans Hand grenades!!!!!



Jk I love New Orleans.

Since he owns both teams, can he call both the Saints?

It was mentioned on another site and every one agreed that won't be happening for a marketing perspective alone.

Benson will want to be able to sell merchandise for both teams, making them both the Saints negates that from happening. It's the same reason the New "Hornets" won't be Black&gold.

Krewe?

I've heard that one a few times and it's grown on me. I also like Brass and I dont think it'll be a problem to buy the naming rights from a defunct hockey team.

This is from a poster on Saintsreport/Hornetsreport:

[Turbine]

If Benson wants to save on letters . . . "STAINS"

And if you think that is negative "NO STAINS"

Krewe?

I'd prefer if they went with something historical that doesn't involve Mardi Gras or hurricanes. WWII museum is in NOLA because the U boats that enabled us to storm the beaches and eventually win the war were designed and manufactured in NOLA. Something along those lines?

Lots of soccer teams in Europe also field teams in other sports including basketball that all share the name of the soccer team. So It wouldn't be completely out of the ordinary.

Krewe = hurricane? Only if it's the drink.
