Pelicans, NBA Trade Deadline (Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images)
The New Orleans Pelicans have one of the most unique team names in the NBA, but is it the right one?
Let’s face it, the Pelicans would and should still be called the Jazz if the team hadn’t relocated to Utah, inexplicably taking the ill-suited name with them.
Is there any place in the world that is less “jazzy” than Utah? Jazz music is probably illegal in Salt Lake City.
But Utah isn’t giving it back anytime soon, so New Orleans is stuck being the Pelicans.
