hawk36 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 But think about it...would you really drop 50-200 bucks on a brown basketball jersey? If it were a football jersey, then it would be totally different but I can see myself buying a brown hoops jersey...I don't know. Padres' brown gear outsells their blue gear by far. Now, they have the history and tradition of the brown but I'd say if it looks good and is unique, people will wear it.

The_Admiral Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 The great thing about the Padres wearing navy blue shirts with khaki pants is that they can go golfing in the afternoon and play baseball at night without a change of clothes. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakfu Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I still think this team, even with a name of "Thunder", ought have a brown and gold color scheme - brown hasn't been used as a primary color in the NBA for a long time (though I'm sure ColorWerx could tell us when it was last used a lot quicker than I could.)Never - as a primary color anyway.The Celtics currently use Brown in their primary logo (and have in at least one other variation of their primary), and the Knicks used Brown in their primary back in the mid-Sixties through the early '80s.That's it.What about the Grizzlies' old logo?Anyway, wouldn't black and gold be appropriate for the Thunder? That is a nice, classic color combo that is lacking from the NBA. And maybe they could bring the Big Dog out of retirement and draft Robbie Hummel in a few years.

TruColor Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 What about the Grizzlies' old logo?That was Metallic Bronze - same color that the Wizards just switched to Gold from last season...was also used by the Arizona Diamondbacks (Metallic Copper). A standard metallic color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichNCreamy Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I don't know if this has already been talked about, but what is going to happen the Seattle Storm? Does Bennet now own them as well? If so, well there be any logo/color changes?Not to say that it played any part in the new name, but Thunder and Storm obviously go well together...Again, I'm sorry if this has already been covered.

They are staying in Seattle. Too bad those investors didn't have an addtional $300 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could dig Marshalls...Barons is still my #1 choice. Of course, it would've been nicer to not have Thunder an option there....And I noticed DEVELOPMENT in the name of the registrant...so would they have already had these for the NBDL ready to go?

Brian in Boston Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Oklahoma City Bison - #1Oklahoma City BaronsOklahoma City WindOklahoma City EnergyOklahoma City MarshallsOklahoma City Thunder - #2Frankly, these are the only two identities on the list that I find remotely appealing.

The double L will become Oklahoma's unique sports trademark, much like Utah and the Double Z's...Drillers works. How about Tullsa?Oklahoma City BisonOklahoma City BaronsOklahoma City WindOklahoma City EnergyOklahoma City MarshallsOklahoma City Thunder Maybe I was right?

BenQR Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Henry Abbott of ESPN had the following to say about the Bison nickname:The tradition of the bison could not be mightier. Nevertheless, it is a reality that in 2008 rich white men can not be seen to be sending a predominantly black group of employees into the workplace with the word "bison" across their chest. No way that happens.You can read his full reaction to the registered names here. I particularly like his take on Wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slickster Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Can they even use Energy? The D-League already has the Iowa Energy team.I'm seriously wondering if the double-l Marshalls name was a typographical error or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
