Let's just have the NBA absorb the Harlem Globtrotters.

They have the same sort of stadium deal as Seattle.

They play a flashy game.

They've already got uniforms and merchandise sales.

Hell, they already have a team.

:P

I'm not disappointed at all. Because disappointment would imply some expectation that the logo would be decent. And why would anybody expect this franchise to do anything decent?

It's what I expected: Crap.

Real?

It's interesting to say the least. I would like it more if it actually corresponded with the team nickname.

Those logos aren't even remotely similar.

maybe just the slanty escalating text. Honestly, when I see the new logo, I think the old KFC logo

but hell thats as big of a stretch... except with the same text movement and both end with a "C"

I found the sloppy line elements similar. The supposed OKC logo shows a distorted cartoony basketball. Through looking at the distant photo, it reminded me of the circular checker board logo of Spain's football team (please excuse me for not knowing the proper terminology). :)

Tried my best to clean it up.

If that's the real deal, then it is FAIL. Even a generic lightning bolt logo would be better than that.

Then that would make it an EPIC FAILURE since they are the THUNDER.

If you're going with a generic logo, you'd go with a HAMMER or THORR

Is THORR anything like Thor, the Norse God of Thunder? By the way, the hammer has a name. It's Mjolnir.

Sigs are for sissies.

But how many people in the world know that. The word hammer would come up faster in the mind then Mjolnir.

I thought someone said Clay Bennett preferred plural nouns. Maybe there's someone in the NBA Properties office who's just really pushing Thunder on anyone he can, like when NFL Properties seemed to make everyone use those same weird serifs on their new wordmarks. NFLprops has Really Into Futuristic Serifs Guy, and NBAprops has Really Wants A Team Called Thunder More Than Anything In Life Guy.

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫

Interesting, I went to http://www.nba.com/thunder and came up with a completely blank white screen.

But when I went to http://www.nba.com/barons (just to test out another name) i got one of those "404 page not found" screens.

Looks like we have ourselves a winner.

Already mentioned, but thanks for trying.
