What the heck is a rougaru anyways?

The NO arena football team is called the Voodoo and doesn't seem very motivated to part with it. Trademark issues.

You guys do realize that the only name on there that is serious is Pelicans right?

Teams register multiple names all of the time for a variety of reasons (throwing people off the scent, minor league affiliations, mascots, etc). Movie industries do this all of the time. Star Wars has like 70 names registered for each movie and they pick the one they are actually using far in advance.

It is very common practice.

My buddy used to hook up with a girl he nicknamed the Swamp Donkey.

I just got an image of a big, fat, sweaty, horse faced and buck toothed gal. Thanks...it'll take about a week and a few bottles of whiskey to get that image out of my head.

These names sound like the stuff they put in Video Games who don't have the rights to use real team names/logos. :lol:

I actually liked the 'Krewe' name that was thrown around. I thought that was the most realistic, personally.

How is "the Spirit" (or virtually anything else short of "the AIDS") worse than "Mosquitos?"

They would be pesky

Are they serious? If they want a name change then change it to the New Orleans Voodoo. Much better than the other names choices they came up with IMO.

That would be a huge offense to all the Christian NBA fans imo.

Huh? More like it would be offensive to practitioners of Voodoo. It's not white people who are offended by names like the "Braves," "Redskins," and "Indians."

Which name would you prefer?
