The colors the boys are rocking right now are BAD. ASS.

It ties into the New Orleans theme with voodoo and all things creepy and obscure WAY better than “The Pelicans” does. I know we all tried to justify how badass pelicans are by re-affirming how they eat their own babies and shit, but that’s all it was – a justficiation for a horrible name.

Skeletons/creepy vibe theme instills fear in our oppononents. We’ll seem a little bit off. A little cooky. They won’t know how to process us, and we’ll use that to our advantage.

And lastly, it’s an easy change to go from saying “The Pels” to “The Skels,” and it just sounds so much more badass.

Who do I need to get on the phone to make this happen?

    New Orleans has a good mascot with the Pelican. It’s the state bird, the Pelican-in-her-piety is a cool old symbol on the state flag, and it can continue to be rethought. The only thing needed for uniforms are a dark/voodoo theme for early season, and a Marie Gras themed uniform for later in Mardi Gras season. Other teams don’t have nearly as much history or culture to do that.

    The last thing this team needs is an excuse to bring that goddamn cursed king cake baby back.
