CS85 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 What about Oklahoma City Cyclones? I know that it's not as cool as Dusters or Thunderbirds, but it makes sense and rolls off the "City."

TampaBayEverybodyLovesRays Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Quick Question= Doesn't the NBA have some rule that a team has to keep their nickname for X years when they move? Or did I just imagine it? Tampa Bay Everybody Loves Rays Go 'Nova | Go Irish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewG70 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Oklahoma City Rednecks -- the most appropriate nickname.Take an informal poll -- if given the choice between living in Oklahoma City and Seattle, where would you live?

TwinsTerritory Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I think it'll be something like:Oklahoma City TornadoesBennett was talking about Tornadoes in his press conference and I got the feeling that it'll be something like that. He said they will announce it very soon. He also said that the NBA simply needs to make sure it is clear to use and get it all worked out.

Seattle would win hands down. you Bennett!I, for one, would prefer the reduced rainfall and (I assume) gas prices of Oklahoma City.Of course, you strike me as being a strongly opinionated person who still cannot comprehend why a team with limited defensive prowess has yet to win a league title.

Brian in Boston Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Perhaps Bennett will rebrand his team as the Oklahoma City Twisters, thus positioning the squad's cheerleaders to be dubbed...the Oklahoma T;tty Twisters. I'm sorry. I don't know what possessed me. That was completely gratuitous and out of line. My apologies if I've offended anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mania Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I really, really hope it's OKC Thunderbirds. I love the name, think it has great potential for a uniform set and identity, and would be very fitting, while at the same time could be considered a slap at Seattle for holding up the move.

TwinsTerritory Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 It sounded to me like they have decided, but need to clear the legal side of things. I wonder what they'll do for a logo, colors and jerseys. They'll need to act fast on those things.I wouldn't be surprised if it was Twisters.

robnshell18 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 How about the OKC Toby Keiths? They could even be sponsored by Ford. I guess in that case, they'd be the OKC Explosions. Maybe the Mustangs, on a more feasible front. If they suck, they could always be the Edsels.
