The New Orleans Pelicans franchise began in 1988 as the Charlotte Hornets before relocating to New Orleans in 2002. The team officially rebranded as the Pelicans in 2013 after Charlotte reclaimed the Hornets name, adopting a new identity that reflects Louisiana’s state bird and cultural heritage. After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the team temporarily played home games in Oklahoma City, embodying the city’s strength and resilience.
