That's one mean-looking bird. The logo will go into use in 2013-14.

As we've noted before, "Pelicans" is a much more fitting team for a professional basketball team in New Orleans than Hornets. The pelican is the state bird of Louisiana, and as the Hornets outrageously claim on their website, pelicans "represent the essential qualities embodied by any successful team." But did the Hornets/Pelicans choose the correct logo? A fan-created logo contest on 99designs.com produced some very cool-looking alternatives.
