dbackdiehard17 Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Assuming the Seattle Supersonics move to Oklahoma City (The move is pending based on their horrible lease)...And assuming Seattle refuses to let the team use green and gold as their colors and Supersonics or Sonics as their name....Here are my questions:1. What do you think would be a good name for the OKC Franchise?2. What would be the color scheme (assuming we want something that represents the area and is at least a little bit original). I guess I should change that to, What should their color scheme be.Alright, it's up to you guys.Have at it...Curious to see what you guys suggest... High Quality Entertainment for the masses.

Droost Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 First Time Poster, I would have to go with the OKC Generals. Generals isn't used in any other major sports and has a Oklahoma/ Texas Western feel. Color scheme I would suggest Brown, Burnt Orange, Red. Nothing too fancy and would suggest a western feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad. Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 i think Wranglers (or something similar) is a pretty cool name ive heard mentioned.and for colors include a reddish brown, a yellow, and maybe black. (a spin-off of the previous Hawks colors that were unique to the nba)if i have time, maybe i'll find some real colors to post.

They're moving. It's just a matter of when. And it's up to the current ownership whether to take the name and color scheme with them.

mania Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I think the colors should be orange, red, and black.Similar to the Buccaneers, but representing both OU and OSU, template-wise. Off The Top Rope: A Pro Wrestling Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Similar to the Buccaneers, but representing both OU and OSU, template-wise.Ugh. And I have no doubt that representing the college teams would be important to the owners.However, I am strongly against professional sports teams aping the colors of the college teams surrounding their markets. It makes the pro team immediately second-best, and it makes the fans of the region look like rubes. It's okay to have unique identities without worrying about offending the delicate sensibilities of hick college sports fans. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telemundo219 Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Maybe they could use VT's colors. No one uses burgundy/maroon. As for a name, College sports as we know them are just about dead. The lid is off on all the corruption that taints just about every major program and every decision that the schools or the NCAA make is only about money, money, and more money. We'll have three 16+ team super-conferences sooner rather than later, killing much of the regional flair and traditional rivalries that make college sports unique and showing the door to any school that doesn't bring money to the table in the process. Pretty soon the smaller schools are going to have to consider forming their own sanctioning body to keep the true spirit of college sports alive because the NCAA will only get worse in it's excess from here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eRay Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Most of you are on point. No need for more Navy, Bright Red, Black, or Royal teams in the Association. The name needs to be about some theme that isn't covered in the NBA right now. example-Herd wouldn't work because of the Bulls.I would say a combo like Brick/Gold/White, or Brown/Tan/White, or Maroon/Orange/Silver/White would be great.For a name I like using Generals, Wranglers, Outlaws, Lawmen, Hounds, Vultures, or Rustlers.
