The Resume

    (2013- )
    Born in New Orleans, Louisiana
    Root for the New Orleans Pelicans
    Often dress or paint themselves in the team colors of navy blue, red, gold and white

Why they might be annoying:

    Initial interest in the team wore off following a sluggish start.
    They watched their team play home games in four different venues in two states during the 2005-06 season.
    They watched their team get shifted into the Western Conference to make way for the expansion Charlotte Bobcats (in which the team relinquished the Hornets nickname to).
    They faced an uncertain future after the NBA took control of the franchise, after then owner George Shinn defaulted on the lease agreement.
    They were oblivious to the fact that their team name was previously used by a minor league baseball franchise in the early 1900's.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They honored New Orleans basketball legend 'Pistol' Pete Maravich in the inaugural game in New Orleans.
    Their team was temporarily relocated to Oklahoma City for two seasons as a result of the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina.
    They were happy to receive their team back in New Orleans on a full-time basis.
    They were happy when they found out that their team was purchased by Saints owner Tom Benson, which ensured the long term prospects of the team in the city.
    They embraced the new ownership's decision to change the team's identity to something that reflected the New Orleans area better.
