The only thing I like about any of these Pelican decisions is that at least it is a mascot that identifies with the city. I can't stand it when teams name themselves after animals or objects that have absolutely no correlation to the city they play for. Minnesota Vikings? A state located smack dab in the center of the continental landmass named their team after a seafaring, oceanic civilization. Toronto Raptors? Cause when I think basketball, I think of extinct reptiles... be honest Toronto, you just think Raptors are cool. Then there's Detroit, the most concrete-laden blue collar industrial city in the country names its sports teams after ... Lions & Tigers ... What? ... did some escape from a zoo once?
