Wow, I hadn't heard that. I was racking my brain to think of the other NBA teams named after a bird besides the Hawks. No wonder I couldn't figure it out.

Up until today, I thought a Blackhawk was just a Black Hawk....

they were named after the Black Hawk Battalion from World War I. The change in spelling occurred in 1986 when someone realized the team's charter was one word not two. The logo resembles the units insignia.

mmm... not really. The hockey team logo is the profile of a Native American. The 86th Infantry Division is a red shield with a hawk and the letters "BH". Not even close, actually.

Why did the hornets become the pelicans? They decided that hornets were too cool and they wanted something much dumber? Did they announce this on April 1 by any chance?

Louisiana is the pelican state. The Hornets were named for Charlotte being a "hornets' nest of rebellion" during the American Revolution. Charlotte even has a hornets' nest on its city seal.
