The New Orleans Hornets were a National Basketball Association team in New Orleans, LA until 2013 when the name of the team was changed to the Pelicans.
Logo referenced from Sportslogos.net.
Unlike many NBA fans, I don't hate the newly renamed Pelicans brand, but perhaps that is another post. I will say that the sports world is going to miss this great color scheme. There are not many cities that can pull off the kind of vibrant colors that the home of Mardi Gras can, so to me it is a shame they left these great hues behind for another red and blue color scheme. Red and blue is probably the most overused color combo in sports.
The typography used in this logo is great and not typical of what you'd expect for a sports team. The style of the lettering along with the yellow horn underneath do a great job of honoring the cities heritage and conveying vibe of local culture.
