The New Orleans Black Pelicans were a minor Negro League baseball team that played in the Negro Southern League. They were formed in 1926 to replace the New Orleans Ads in the league.[1] They joined the Texas-Louisiana Negro League in 1930, and by 1935 they were an independent club.[1] When the second Negro Southern League formed in 1945, the Black Pelicans were charter members,[1] but did not affiliate with the league again until 1950.[2]
