According to Hornets247:

quote:

Our information states that Hornets ownership has inquired about the purchasing this brand from the AFL team that owns it, but the offer to purchase was declined. This has happened at least once, but it may have gone through a couple of negotiation cycles.

Despite the stalled purchase, circumstances can change, and so can offers. This issue is not in a nailed-shut coffin yet.

Come on Tommy! Keep on trying! This is my ideal name choice. Hope it happens.

I like it. Voodoo and Brass are the only ones I've heard that I've really liked. Pelicans was the only other one at least acceptable to me.

I'd rather Brass.. Voodoo seems like it's trying to hard. Voodoo is perfect for an AFL team, not a NBA team IMO

Ugh not a fan of this idea. Brass would be my ideal choice.

If they tried to purchase the Voodoo rights that means one thing to me......they got nothing better, which blows!

I hope Benson can change their mind. The Pelicans sounds like a 5 year old little league T-ball team.

I like the New Orleans Voodoo name an their logo colors. All of the other names i've seen thrown put there really suck bad.

I know it would absolutely NEVER happen...but I wish New Orleans would get the Jazz back. They have already had great teams in Utah though and will never get it back. It would just be really cool to see it back in Nola. I know this post was somewhat pointless, so I'll give my favorite 3 possible names:
1) VooDoo
2) Pelicans
3) Brass
