The New Orleans Pelicans revealed the return of the Mardi Gras alternate jerseys today—last seen back in 2013. The Pelicans will only wear these sleeved uniforms a handful of times this upcoming season, but it was still a big deal for the team to reveal them. Check them out below, complete with “NOLA” across the chest:

Not everyone is super pumped about the new uniforms, though:
Quincy Pondexter joked that the one downside of a sleeved jersey is it doesn't show off his "guns" (biceps) he's worked on all summer
