BallWonk Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I really hope it's Thunderbirds because this is what comes to mind when I hear "Thunderbird." is what comes to mind for me.I don't like three-syllable team names as a rule; they always get shortened in use, so why not just use the shorter nickname? Nobody will call them the "Thunderbirds," they'll be the "T-Birds" or the "Birds", depending. But the name does grow on me despite that, and I like how it thematically references the old team name. I would still name them the Dusters if I owned the team, with a dual Western/tornado theme, but Thunderbirds is creeping into my top three.

Ron Mexico Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 So will they stay in the Northwest division?Don't see why not. It would mess alignment up if they moved to the Southwest. Besides, they're still geographically closer to cities like Denver and SLC than Minneapolis is.

njmeadowlanders Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 The Seattle Super Sonics of Oklahoma City...you know...except for the fact that that ceased to be funny about 15 seconds after the Angels did it...And yet every time something like this comes up, someone says it...

FiddySicks Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Is it known whether the team will use "Oklahoma City" or just Oklahoma?The ticket website has a logo that says "NBA OKC" on it, so I assume they will use Oklahoma City.And the URL includes the word "Storm" in it... OKC Storm?https://secure.sonics-storm.com/forms/nbaokc.aspxI mean, it's the WNBA name, but it fits for OKC...I kinda brings up an interesting problem for the NBA in terms of merchandising and marketing. Now I know that this move was seen coming from miles away, but just how difficult is it going to be to get merchandise produced and media and marketing strategies togather to release to the masses, with the hopes that it'll turn profit in a little less than four or five months?

CityOfWalrus Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 it was down to thunderbirds, thunder, barons, and sonics last i heard.I either like Thunderbirds or Barons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 As per the settlement, it will not be Sonics.I think Barons has some potential, but it would all be dependent on what's done with the logo. Off The Top Rope: A Pro Wrestling Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaytonBlue Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 The only history the Rams refer to of the football Cardinals are players who played in St. Louis and are part of the ring of fame they created in the dome several years back. I still think it would be odd to have Sonics banners hanging at the home of the OKC Thunderbirds...personally, all the other names sound a little minor league.

Carter23 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Oklahoma City Okiesalthough of the realistic choices, I'd go with BaronsAs someone said earlier in the thread, Thunderbirds would probably be shortened to T-Birds, which is too close to T-Wolves for my likingand the colors will mostly likely be two varying shades of blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
