When they created a mascot for the New Orleans Pelicans, they made some strange choices, including giving him a scary visage and what less-than-intimidating name?

When Pierre the Pelican was introduced in 2013, the Internet responded, with comments like "Where should we take the Pelican's picture? How about the darkest recesses of the stadium WHERE NOBODY CAN HEAR YOU SCREAM?" With a creepy face, he looked less like a pelican and more like a deranged chicken.
