Conrad. Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 How many times do I have to say this? It should be the 'Blunder' because moving this team from Seattle IS a blunderful move and I hope the team sucks so bad that the heartless bastard of an owner sells the team to the NBA so they can destroy this abomination and bring back the REAL Sonics.If Hurricane Gustav hits New Orleans (hopefully not), Seattle may get another NBA team sooner than expected.http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/weather/08/27/g...nola/index.htmlThanks , I'm in the military and 1,000 miles from home with a family in New Orleans. You are not funny at all Not trying to be funny, just stating the reality that another hurricane could potentially hit the city and as a result I would think Seattle would be the logical location for the Hornets to temporarily move to. Hopefully it doesn't come to that.Nah....Kansas City's closer.exactly what i was thinking today as i watched the weather channel.also, eRay's color ideas seem accurate to me, tho i wouldnt mind seeing an Oklahoma City Wind team with 3 shades of grey Red Goat Creations :: Graphic Design Solutions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Clay Bennett's ownership group has applied for trademarks for six names: Thunder, Energy, Wind...Their main source of inspiration had to be none other than Captain Planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't the NBA done this before? Maybe with the Hornets or Grizzlies? This all seems familiar. Anyway, glad they still haven't learned from them.

mfoster Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 So... I got to thinking... IF it ends up NOT being the Thunder... do we treat "Oklahoma City Thunder" in the same light as say the pre-Hornets "Charlotte Spirit"? I mean, we're seeing multiple official and semi-offical references to OKC Thunder, so is that good enough to put the name on the official record should it end up not being the name that gets used in action?Big what if, but I think we need to consider it... even if it means giving the NBA and Bennett & Co. too much credit for the diversion and being able to keep a secret.

Hell - that may be the swerve of the millennium.Also, they will instantly become my favorite Western conference team "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."
