"BRASS"

BREEZE not snakes (sounds slimey). Also not sinners. Spirit and angels also good.

Brass Band at every game!!!

The New Orleans Tribe

The Gamblers

I thought of Tomcats after the owner and the cheerleaders could be the kittens or kitty cats

KREWE OF NEW ORLEANS

The soul of the city,

GRIS GRIS

What else and why not..??? all kind of marketing ideas can spring from this.

Colors should be black and gold and a fleur de lis somewhere on the uniform. Maybe call them the Coastal Cajuns or the Crescent City Sound

I can hear the arena now...... “ WHO DAT LET DOSE DOGGS OUT, WHO DAT..??”

Its the saints and the prophets

Archangels.

The new name for New Orleans Hornets should be theNew Orleans Creoles.

Very New Orleans! (:

The New Orleans Krewesaders.

The New Orleans GATORS!!!

It reflects the attitude and determination of the city.

NEW ORLEANS EASY

New Orleans JESTERS !!

Where do they play? The Paradise Arena! New Orleans and surrounding area is truly a "Sportsmen's Paradise" This name is appropriate and certainly not offensive. Actually, it is even somewhat noble.

New Orleans SPICE

The New Orleans Surge

the "New Orleans Renaissance". It is french for rebirth.

The New Orleans Guardians

The New Orleans Zydeeco's

New Orleans Saints! Saints Basketball Saints Football Saints Baseball And if a team leaves the city, the name HAS to stay!!!

In the Cajun legends, the creature is said to prowl the swamps around Acadiana and Greater New Orleans, and possibly the fields or forests of the regions. The rougarou most often is described as a creature with a human body and the head of a wolf or dog,similar to the werewolf legend

Its the best....

A name for consideration would be the "New Orleans Crecents" with the traditional Mardi Gras colors.

The New Orleans Blues

New Orleans Crime or New Orleans Bounties.

Leave the name change the color - Black & Gold

Saints Basketball

New Orleans Swamp Pirates, after Jean Lafitte and his gang

Like the Swamp Pirates, lots of good marketing with that. Alternative might be the New Orleans MOJO.

crescent city crusaders, crescent city gamblers, crescent city stormers,new orleans or crescent city bandits, bayou bruisers, gravediggers, warmongers have plenty more to list from renegade

Yeah, Swamp Pirates. Jean Lafitte's pirates hid and lived in the Louisiana swamps. Great for a mascot, and imagine the logo with a badass Pirate with Cypress trees and moss hanging down behind him.

The Lagniappes or New Orleans Gumbo

The masquerades

New Orleans Who Dats but i like the ideals of the Soul,Surge,Spirits and the Spice

New Orleans Buccaneers. This was the nickname of the old ABA nola team.

New Orleans GRIS GRIS! Put da GRIS GRIS on em'! Mascot a snake with red eyes. Colors- black, green and silver. Fans could wave a Gris Gris bag instead of pom-pom. Still uniquely Nola themed and no one has to share borrow or steal another team name.Brandi Collins

reclaim the voodoo name from football team & use it on nba team

The New Orleans BLUES

The New Orleans Tampons....They are only good for one period and don't have a second string.

name them the new orleans hurricanes -john jmontouri83@gmail.com

Roux Dat!

Dat's it

Like New Orleans...a little of this and a little of that!!

No need to change the name. We've had it for over a decade in new Orleans. The Lakers and Jazz don't get name changes when they moved, those cities just wanted a team, just like us. Their OUR Hornets. But if your set on it. Krewe, Blues, or Gators are good. Crawfish, Soul, and Bounce are horrible. I'm In!

I'm fully behind a rebrand of the old ABA team! Red, Navy, and White or stay with Mardi Gras colors. New Orleans Buccaneers!

New Orleans Swamp Pirates

New Orleans Krewesaders.

New colors too...

New Orleans Hurricanes! Shows we're past Katrina and we're stronger than ever!

Buy the name from the arena football team!

Or NEW ORLEANS ROLLERCOASTERS!

The New Orleans Bayou

This came to mind because of the King of Parades and also the famous King Cakes

Because of our bare traffic coming down river

Skyline gleams always ready to welcome a party

Lots of fishes at the Aquarium

Crescent City Rebounders

This would satisfy those who still like the bees. It would satisfy Jazz folks because of the zzzz. It's catchy: people would say "what's the Buzz, tell me what's happening ? (from Jesus Christ Superstar) or What's up with the Buzz?" You could go in many directions for the mascot. Thoughts? Friday Night Reporter Tom Russo

How about New Orleans Brass New Orleans Hot Brass New Orleans Bishops New Orleans Swamp

an unstopable force of nature that engulfs its opponentes in the "Marsh"

I like the Swamp Pirates. Remember they helped save the city in the Battle of New Orleans.

New Orleans Revelers, New Orleans Mambo, or the New Orleans Gambit

A lot of people are coming up with good names that have to do with New Orleans and I love it. But we need something to do with N.O. that can also be a mascot. I vote Swamp Pirates because it's New Orleans history and would be a great mascot.

NEW ORLEANS NUTRIA

The ROGUES!

the new orleans Roux

What we do best

New Orleans Storm

Swamp Gators

Delta Blues

The logo/mascot would be the top of a Crawfish with the claws and the mid to end would be the alligator...The logo would stand up (similar to a rattle snake)...

New Orleans RhythmPurple, Green and Gold

Several names I like (Gumbo, Flambeaux, Moss, Crawgator and Buccaneers (Mascot could be Lefitte and the dance team the Buckettes)

What about the New Orleans "Indians" to correspond with the Mardi Gras Indians?

How about the Pistols after basketball great, Pistol Pete?

Crescent City Crescents or New Orleans Crescents.

New Orleans Sound

New Orleans Tribe

The Pelicans is a great name. It has local and regional flavor. No one outside of the viewing area remembers that the baseball team that hasn't been here for 50 years were the Pelicans. The Hurricanes is a great suggestion, too. Definitely a way of embracing our tragedy and turning it on its heels. Logo could be a Hurricane symbol with the Basketball in the eye and a fleur di lis in the basketball. No one outside of NOLA would even know how to pronounce Krewe. Pelicans or Hurricanes.

It is kind of generic but it embraces the history of the city. It would reference Jackson and Napoleon and the WWII museum. I'm also imagining some marketing done with hand grenades.

New Orleans Carnival. It represents a group coming together to celebrate and have fun. Definition: any merrymaking, revelry, or festival, as a program of sports or entertainment.

New Orleans Revelers, after the C-130 squadron VR-54 Or New Orleans Gators, after the C-12 detachment. Gator Done!

I have one of your suggestions. All the flavor of New Orleans, plus a fighting spirit to win, this is sports,ie, basketball, not music, food, or a certain people, get real ppl.

New Orleans Acadians

Mr Benson is a Saintly Man , Now he can clain two Titles A Saint and An Angle. The Logo for the Angles a Halo with a Basket Ball in the center of the Halo J Komidor

The Category Fives

From the swamp to winnnig.

Cheerleaders to be called the Kittens

I think the New Orleans VooDoo would be mesmerizing

Sinner's!!!!! Mascot could be the Grim Reaper throwing out beads!!!!!

I like that one.

For a legendary city.

It's perfect for everything that is New Orleans!!!!!!

You have to have something that's marketable across the country and you can't take a name that's already taken, like Gator's or Indians. Florida And Cleavland People!!!! NO Bucs, No Pirate's, none of those will work. I have seen some good one's though, Like Reviler's, Knight's, Jester's And Sinner's,All good suggestions. One last thing Sinner's is good but the mascot should be a serpent not the Grim Reaper. Goodby Hugo, Hello Cotton!

I love the pistol's After pistol Pete. Jesters is good too.

I think the new name for the hornets should be the new orleans(STYLE) becuse we have that in everything we do.so i reslly like the name NEW ORLEANS STYLE what do you think people?

What's more New Orleans than that?

Spirits sounds ok, but i like the new orleans ghost's better.

No doubt about it, Jester's is the best choice for a new team nickname. It fit's the city and it works nationally.

How about the Witch Doctors?

Don't over think it people, Creoles should be the obvious choice. Louisiana Lafayette already has Cajuns So we should go with Creoles.

Not only do the mormons blend with the new owners nfl team, it can be used as bait to get the jazz back.

"Fat Cats" "Hoop Dats"

I vote for the Sinner's! Saint's and Sinner's baby!!

I say Showboat's. I think it would fit the city well. I could see Reviler's to but Showboats is the best new name in my opinion.

It's a Miracle we survived Katrina. Go New Orleans!

Yes we got that Mojo goin on!

Aggressive. Also all over the Gulf South

Reviler's, Jester's or Krew

NO Swamp Pirates, like that one best can also go to black and gold like the saints. New Orleans Crustations, crawfish as the mascot, clawing a basketball New Orleans Hurricanes Fab 3

Love the Sinner's Down here

Because we like everything hot! our food, our music, and our team!

Links the city's football and basketball teams. When the Saints are at home in the dome the light reflecting off thier helmets look like halos.

The JAMMERS - as in "we be Jammin"..... we could all wear P.J.s to the games!!!!!

In honor of so many of our state and local politicians

The SPICE!

With black and gold colors

Ann Rice will love it!

How about a name to honor the victims of Katrina such as the "Floodwraiths" or "Wraiths" for short

The New Orleans "Mardi Gras." Nothing else is as unique to NO as that...

new orleans trumpets.....we could honor louis armstrong, and we need gabriel!

the name of the basket ball team should be the New Orleans Bounshing the n it comes to baty Hounters. The country ain't talking bout nothing else when it comes to bashing the N.O. all we did was play football, so let's make the basket ball team one people will love to hate, and respect the team's ability to get the job done ... on fire N.O.B.H. saints and sinners, consistent i would say.

that is a typo above, it should have been the Bounty Hunters

I think that a good choice for the new name of the team would be the Revilers. Because the name Revilers would represent the spirit of the people who make New Orleans such a special place!

The New Orleans Armor.

Surge barriers protects the after the Hurricane. Surge means to rise, roll, move, or swell forward in or like waves. a strong, wavelike, forward movement, rush, or sweep: the colors should be Black, Gold, Purple and Green. Mardi Gras colors plus Black

THIS IS GOOD NAMES FOR THE NEW TEAM GO N.O.L.A. SPICE

too bad the zephyrs and jazz are taken...but the crescent city crescents should do it

New Orleans Lagniappe (we're something extra) - New Orleans Gumbo or Jambalaya (sp?) We're a team of mixed talent and all things good. And yes, the old baseball team (I remember them) the Pelicans. With the Pelicans and the fleu de Lis, you could come up with a great logo. Colors black and gold.

how about the new orleans humidity

new orleans locos

YES!! I love it ....The New Orleans Big Easy Blues!!!

New Orleans On Fire!!!

Ballers, Shooters,

The Cheerleads can be the Dressing!

You can go in a lot of different directions with the name the "Spirit". I believe the mascot for Tom Benson's arena football team "the Voodoo" was Spirit. If you name the team The Spirit or the Spirits you could have a voodoo theme or even go in another direction with it. In the Spirit of Marie Leaveau lets call the team "the Spirit".

Krewe! Krewe! Krewe! Krewe! Krewe! Krewe! Krewe!

Cresent city crusaders is very catchy

why not capitalize on all the fuss in a positive way !! or, better yet--- change the Saints to the BOUNTY H8UNTERS and name the Hornets the SAINTS !!!!!

New Orleans High Steppers. The logo could include a silhouette of a second line transfoming into a player dunking.

high steppers

The Rhythm

New Orleans Niggers.

Some folks can't help but to be racist no matter what. Hiding behind a computer screen.

I like the Revelers. Think about it. What city shuts down for days to revel in the streets for days with costume, etc.? None other than N.O. We are the Revelers! Better than the Cavaliers. The REVS! Rev it up baby! Mardi Gras colors. Every fat Tues will look like a Rev Party. New Orleans Revs!

STEAMY FOOD, STEAMY WEATHER, STEAMY BOATS, STEAMY NIGHTS,

The cresent city patrol would be an awsome team name that picks on none of our local stereotypes
