And vince is done. He can now retire knowing the closest he ever got to a ring is the mavs locker room.

He was good on that Orlando team until they ran into the brick wall that was Boston

Recent filings to the Louisiana Secretary of State list both “The New Orleans Louisiana Angels, LLC” and “The New Orleans Louisiana Spirit, LLC” as reserved names. There are also additional filings reserving logo’s for both names. Additionally, the city for all four filings is listed as Metairie, where the New Orleans Saints are headquartered and registered.

There had been talk about both of these names since Tom Benson bought the team and the filings seem to confirm that.

There are no filings for names like “Brass” or “Krewe” as far as we’re aware.

In his introductory press conference, new owner Tom Benson stated that he would like to change the name of the team saying, “You’ve got to know we’re working on it. We’d like to change it tomorrow. We have not gotten that approved, but we’re not letting up on it, either.”]

Honestly I'm not a fan of either of those names. Brass was a popular suggestion I could live with though.......Then again even that name I'm not in love with.

Those are some terrible names.

OK Scott, time to sit the stars.

 

[PBY]

Louisiana spirit sounds like a wnba team

 

[Tom Penny]

He was good on that Orlando team until they ran into the brick wall that was Boston

I think the bigger problem that series was Rashard Lewis shooting 33% against KG.

 

[dream]

Watch it, peterb0y.

 

[DY_nasty]

[Emwitus]

Yi-sanity.

 

[PBY]

Just give me my fucking hornets back

You got the kitties tho?

 

[Jonm1010]

Those are some terrible names.

Brass, Krewe and Voodoo seem to be the fan favorites around the city but while not completely awful they certainly arent great either IMO. I want something intimidating and unique personally.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

Just give me my fucking hornets back

do you really want the return of the hornet name to be marred by next season's tank?

 

[KingGondo]

I vote for Jazz.

Utah can become the Hymns.

 

[Canuck76]

Just give me my fucking hornets back

hahaha

beg for it charlotte

get on your knees and fricking beg

Brass isn't total crap but come on. Give us the jazz name back. Angles and Spirit is terrible. Until then the hornets name is on lock

 

[Black Mamba]

Fisher has 10 points and Carter has 7.

Time to retire, Wince.

haha. If only Stern hadnt already shit all over the idea when Benson said it in jest at their press conference.

I'd like to thank Rick Carlisle for not playing Roddy in this series. It's important not to play young guys because they might make a mistake.

 

[Forceatowulf]

Jesus Dallas.. at least win game 4. Please?

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

New Orleans isn't getting the name back and they can deal it.

Walk of shame. Dirk has that i knew this was going to happen face but I don't care.

 

[Emwitus]

If they don't we better sweep.

 

[KingGondo]

Come on, there are so many better names for a Utah team.

Utah Powder
Utah Prophets
Utah Hymns

Spirit and Angels are both turrible names.

 

[Black Mamba]

The Utah Near Beers!

You have no one to blame but konex for this.

 

[Canuck76]

Hell nah. We'll just buy the jazz and force a name change with all that Benson money.

 

[KingGondo]

I would have preferred Barons, but Thunder has grown on me.

First person to make a Bombers joke is getting smacked.

 

[cashman]

tonight Brian Cardinal got more minutes than Roddy Beaubois

 

[StickSoldier]

I'm so glad we won't have to see Jet wear a Mavs jersey after this year...

 

[Jonm1010]

Spirit and Angels are both turrible names.

Yeah it seems pretty unanimous with most polls around here that fans hate those names.

Hopefully Benson will get the message and come up with some other names.

 

[Mxrz]

Good grief, Mavs.

On the other hand. 3 sweeps in the first round, and none of them are the Dwightless Magic.

 

[Malleymal]

New Orleans Crawfish sound so much better


Maybe the Po'boys??

The Bourbons would probably take the cake though

 

[Branduil]

Only one more game of JET in a Mavs jersey.

 

[Ninja Scooter]
