New Orleans Pelicans Patches

New Orleans Pelicans Embroidered Patches

The Pelicans took their current name and logo in 2013, rebranding from the Hornets to something more tied to the city’s identity, since pelicans are the state bird of Louisiana. That relatively short history means this new orleans pelicans patch lineup centers mostly on the current mark rather than older throwback designs.

The pelican guarding a basketball logo is fairly detailed compared to most team crests, with the bird’s feathers and beak needing careful stitching to come through clearly. Navy, red, and gold make up the color scheme, distinct enough from most other teams in the league.

There’s also a simpler wordmark option, just “Pelicans” in clean lettering, better suited to a cap than the fuller bird-and-basketball design for anyone who wants something less detailed.

Every new orleans pelicans iron on patch here is embroidered instead of printed, so fine detail like the pelican’s feathers or beak outline holds its shape through repeated washing instead of fading or cracking. Backing comes in iron-on, sew-on, or Velcro, depending on whether the patch stays on one piece of gear or moves between a few.
