myartsaywhat Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I know the colors, logo and colors stay, but what about the history. The Sonics have a Championship banner and retired jerseys. Do they stay with Seattle or move to OKC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rams80 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Anything but Supersonics. It should be a rule that teams leave identities back where they leave.Why? So their glorious histories can be put on ice for decades on the off chance another team shows up?Screw that. I'm with Will Leitch. The organization should keep its history so I can follow it for years to come. I don't care if they move out...my loyalty to the team remains.

Do they stay with Seattle or move to OKC?Yes, it stays. That's part of the settlement.The ESPN report said nothing about the history.David Stern weighs in (PDF)Biggest thing to note: funding must be in place by the end of 2009 if Seattle is to get a team by the 5 year deadline.

DaytonBlue Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 The Sonics site said the OKC team would "share" the history with any new Seattle team. That would be kind of strange.

rams80 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 The Sonics site said the OKC team would "share" the history with any new Seattle team. That would be kind of strange.Not really; case in point: the Rams seem to claim the history of the "Big Dead" St. Louis Cardinals.

Survival79 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 SuperSonics, Seattle reach last-minute settlementBennett said he and Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels signed a binding agreement Wednesday, which would be formalized later, that keeps the SuperSonics' name, logo and colors available if Seattle gets a replacement franchise. Bennett said his franchise would create duplicate championship banners and trophies, leaving one set in Seattle and using the second set for undetermined purposes in Oklahoma City.
