Originally keeping the Hornets name upon relocation to New Orleans, in 2014 the team renamed itself as the Pelicans (the brown pelican is the Louisiana state bird), thus allowing the [[Charlotte Bobcats]] to reclaim the Hornet mascot (in a separate deal, all New Orleans Hornets records were returned to Charlotte and are now part of that team's franchise records).
