"NEW ORLEANS -- New Orleans Hornets owner Tom Benson is changing his team's nickname to the Pelicans and said the switch will create a bond with the city that could lead to a championship.The Hornets announced Thursday they are going ahead with the name change. The NBA still has to approve it, but commissioner David Stern has said he wouldn't object to any name Benson chose. The league is expected to expedite the change at the start of next season. The new color scheme is blue, gold and red, a departure from the Hornets' teal, purple, gold and white."
So everybody has been up in arms recently because the Hornets are changing it's mascot to a pelican. Umm have you ever seen a pelican? Those things are scary as fuck, with their giant throats and big ass wings. Like they are 5 feet tall. Thats like an average high schooler. Fuck that. I'm not fucking with pelicans any time soon. And there logo is pretty fucking cool. One of the best ones out there. Plus, there are so many worse nicknames in the sports world than pelican. So here is the definite top 5 worst nicknames in the sports world.
5.)Oklahoma City Thunder- Like are people scared of thunder? What are you a dog? And is there more thunder in Oklahoma City then anywhere else?
4.) Red Sox/White Sox- I'm glad my non-existent autistic cousin got a job naming those two teams. Like Red Sox is OKAY because their socks are actually red. The White Sox though, no fucking excuse. Like bro, you're not tricking anyone, your socks are black.
3.)Houston Texans- Like that's not a mascot, that's just where you are from. Like what if it was Boston Massachussians? It's just fucking stupid.
2.)Oakland Athletics- So is Oakland just more athletic than any other team? Probably not since they haven't won a world series since 1989. I just don't get what it even means. And their mascot is an elephant? Fuck elephants and fuck the Athletics.
1.) Utah Jazz- Do they play an excess amount of Jazz in Utah? I don't think so. So why is that your nickname. Utah should be called, like, the snow or something. I don't know, anything is better than Jazz.
