jhans203 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 According to the Seattle Times, it is looking like the Sonics are officially leaving Seattle for OKC. Apparently the city and team have reached a settlement. Details of the settlement will be announced within the hour. But, with the Sonics leaving Seattle. I am assuming they will pick up another moniker. Speculation is that the name will remain in Seattle for possible expansion. In everyone's opinion what would you suggest for a nickname for the new OKC team? What colors would you pick? Please keep this serious no "OKC Bennett Haters, etc., etc.,etc." If you even feel ambitious what would the logo look like.I will think of a couple names that I will post later, I just wanted to start the discussion.

gosioux76 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 A poll on NewsOK.com, the Web site for the Daily Oklahoman newspaper in Oklahoma City, has a poll question about the team's name. Among its options are Sonics, Thunder, Thunderbirds, Twisters and Other.I'm a big fan of the Oklahoma City Other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferrousoxide66 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 None of those sound even remotely appealing (except for Cavalry, which has already been shot down due to closeness to the Cleveland Cavs).Oklahoma City Thunder sounds like an AFL team, i'm afraid.
