New Orleans Pelicans

It’s a particular kind of fandom to be a Pelicans fan. It’s not the easiest franchise to throw your professional basketball allegiance behind. You experience the injuries, the baffling front office decisions that don’t make sense until suddenly two years later they do, the seasons that feel like they’re building toward something right up until they pull the rug out from under you. And yet, here we are. We watch. We care. We root. We want to show that same love and loyalty to the other person in our lives who does exactly the same thing that we do. Those people are who we picked everything in this shop for. Not the casual fan who owns one article of blue and gold that they break out for playoff time. We mean the real deal. The person who knows this teams history but also knows what it’s capable of becoming. Who watched Zion rise through the fog of a soul-crushing losing streak and believed. Who felt something shift in their chest no matter what was happening on the scoreboard. Shopping for those people used to mean making do. Adsobo shirts and hats that could belong to any team in the NBA. Gifts that labeled you a basketball fan instead of letting you show you’re the kind of basketball fan who understands this particular team and all it’s gone through. We set out to offer you the other option. Things that we actually wanted to gift to people. Things that feel considered and specific to New Orleans and the Pelicans rather than just taking the team logo and plastering it on some random crap. New Orleans is a particular place. Not a backdrop. One of the most specific, unique cities in the country. And the Pelicans are the same way. Their gifts should be too. That’s why we picked everything in this collection. Each product passed the only test we care about on this site. Would we actually give it to a friend? Not does it technically fit the criteria of “Pelicans gift,” but would we hand it to ourselves and feel like we actually understand the person we’re giving it to. A lot of products didn't make that cut. But a lot of thought went into the ones that did. Thanks for spending your time with us. If you know a Pelicans fan, we think you'll know this is the right place.
