Well it was fun while it lasted. It seems like the New Orleans Pelicans will be redesigning Pierre the Pelican’s head so it’s less scary. At first this seems like a joke, but its not. Check out the tweets from Grantland’s Zach Lowe:
Real mascot news: Hearing Pellies are re-designing Pierre’s head to make him “less scary,” hopefully by All-Star weekend in New Orleans.

(To be clear: that tweet is not a joke. They are actually re-designing Pierre’s head).

I guess they don’t want Pierre scaring kids anymore. It will be a sad day when Pierre gets changed.
