The New Orleans Pelicans franchise traces its roots to 1988 when it was founded as the Charlotte Hornets. The team relocated to New Orleans in 2002 and officially rebranded as the Pelicans in 2013 after Charlotte reclaimed the Hornets name. Following Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the team temporarily relocated to Oklahoma City, embodying New Orleans’ spirit of resilience during the city’s recovery.

The franchise originally played as the New Orleans Hornets before adopting the Pelicans name in 2013 under owner Tom Benson. The new name and imagery reflect Louisiana’s state bird and symbolize renewal, pride, and resilience—key traits of both the city and its people.

The obverse of the NBA New Orleans Pelicans Silver Round features the team’s modern logo, depicting a pelican with wings spread wide and a determined expression. The design reimagines the state bird as powerful and protective, embodying the toughness and pride of New Orleans.

On the reverse of the 1 oz New Orleans Pelicans Silver Round, the NBA logo shows a basketball player dribbling within a rectangular frame. This clean, balanced design has represented the league for more than fifty years.
