Disclaimer: Being a fan is weird. Being a New Orleans Pelicans fan, for me, is weird. The reason you’re a fan? It’s weird too.
When I was younger, I received a kid’s sized Hornets locker as a hand me down. I found it in my room and proudly declared Charlotte to be my favorite NBA team (did I mention I am from Iowa?). Later on, I was forced to make an unusual decision. Will I follow a team now called the Pelicans? Or will I return to the teal and purple Hornets I admired as a kid?
