    Great artwork, but a logo shaped like a heart probably wouldn't help.

      Is there a reason for why they are changing the name right now?

          I'm so tried of people pointing to other names to justify this god awful name. IDGAF what that nonsense. Just because other frachises and fan bases deemed worthy of naming their team have nothing to do with our name. They aren't us.

          And IMO would instanty be the worse name in the only two sports I follow.

              They need to hit up Utah and see if they can get Jazz back. Salt Lake has very little to do with Jazz and the logo looks like it belongs on a can of Coors Light.

              Pelicans sounds more like a minor league or a high school team.

                Hell, lets reset them all.

                I'm sure I'm missing quite a few but you get the gist...


                - New Orleans Jazz (now Utah Jazz)
                - Charlotte Hornets (soon to be again, but currently New Orleans Hornets)
                - San Diego Clippers (now Los Angeles Clippers)
                - Philadelphia Warriors (now Golden State Warriors)
                - Ft. Wayne Pistons (now Detroit Pistons)
                - Minneapolis Lakers (now Los Angeles Lakers)
                - Rochester Royals (now Sacramento Kings)
                - Tri-City Blackhawks (now Atlanta Hawks)
                - Syracuse Nationals (now Philadelphia 76ers)

                I'm sure people here know more if it's regarding "their" team, I wasn't trying to be specific but just give examples. If I'm wrong on some feel free to correct them.

                  You missed my point.

                  1) NOH came out and said they want a name that fits either the city or state. None of those other teams are in the position to provide their name to another team that is relevant to its name.
                  2) The Bulls logo is a picture of a Bull. The bucks logo is a picture of a Buck. The Wizards Logo is a Wizard.

                  The Jazz logo is of Snowcaps. Not Piano Keys, brass, or something to do with music. Snowcaps.

                  I'm just saying this is a golden opportunity, if they are interested, the can give NOH the name Jazz back, and find a name that fits "Snowcaps" a little bit better...lol

                      Either way it has nothing to do with the point I'm making.
