The new trademark nicknames for New Orleans include...Swamp Dogs,...

[BigGameDamian]

The Rougarou, Mosquitos, and Bullsharks. I like New Orleans Swamp Dogs. http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/225090/NBA_Files_Trademark_For_New_Orleans_Pelicans_Four_Others

In that it's only horrible? All those are excruciating!

Someone just tell me when they're done with this. If "Pelicans" wasn't official, than these aren't either, given that the NBA could technically apply for trademarks on more names.

Imo, they should go with the Krewe. It's a unique name with positive imagery that links them to directly to the city.

Also, I dig the color scheme, but it'd be cool to see them go with the purple, gold, and green color scheme full-time -

About 17 years ago, the NJ Nets seriously considered changing their name to the Swamp Dragons. Don't know why they changed their mind.

I'm hoping for Rougarou. It just sounds so ridiculous.

 

[MickZagger]

I like Swamp Donkey's better.

Wind, Barons, Marshalls, Energy and Bison.

Thunder sounds pretty dang good compared to most of those.

You might be right because.... "Bennett said the decision on the name had been made "quite some time" ago. He said the names on the trademark applications weren't finalists, and he wouldn't reveal what other names got serious consideration." ... which doesn't make much sense.

 

[THE HCP]

Lets name them after Zags' sister........ The SlumpBusters

 

[Mediocre Man]

Swamp Dogs is a nickname for Alligators, so that makes sense

Rougarou would be awesome, but most people around the country would always mispronounce it and have no idea what it is

Skeeters would have been better than Mosquitoes

Bull Sharks would get played upon too much cause it sounds like Bull Shit

Pelicans it is
