I have lived in New Orleans for 31 years, so 19 more years and I get to claim to be a "native"! I agree with Eugene Church and others who say Pelicans is always the best name for a team from New Orleans.

At one time I considered making a New Orleans based league with teams from all the different neighborhoods or towns around the "Greater" NO area. It would have looked like this:

CENTRAL LEAGUE
Carrollton Boosters
Mid-City Krewe
Lakeview Sailors
Gentilly Ridgebacks
Uptown Debutantes
French Quarter Hurricanes
Bywater Bohemians
Treme Jazz

PERIMETER LEAGUE
Metairie Farmers
Westwego Navigators
Harvey Tunnels
Gretna Greenies
Belle Chasse Aviators
Algiers Pointsmen
Chalmette Battlers
New Orleans East Swamp Monsters

Super bonus points for anybody who understands the derivation of these names!
