Pirate Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 So the OKC Thunder unveiled their new mascot and fancy that it's a Bison! I remember during the logo unveiling the owner mentioned that their current abomination was temporary. Does the mascot foretell a future to come?

C's Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Would hardly be an improvement. Yeah, it gives them actual logo instead of a generic shield, but a :censored:ing BISON? Really? This isn't minor league baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjwii Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 If they wanted a buffalo mascot, why not just all the team OKC Buffalos...or Bison...or... well... I'm sure there's another moniker they could've used.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there's another moniker they could've used....But why necessarily be so literal? We may be giving them too much credit, anticipating a shift to a full bison-themed identity. But if that's the case, I like it. It represents the region, and it's imaginative in that it evokes the thunderous sound of bison rumbling across the plains.

habsfan1 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I said it before and I'll say it again. I kinda like/don't mind the current OKC Thunder lookYou don't mind it or do you like it? You can't do both. And as far a Buffalo themed identity goes, I think the Bulls woudn't be too happy. It would be better than what they are using now (I honestly think they've hit rock bottom design-wise, it can't get any worse) but I would set my focus on something closer to real thunder.

Bigboy1083 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 The only thing I can think of that ties the bison and thunder, is that a herd of bison sounds like thunder on the plains. It's a stretch, but that might be the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you bring to this forum other than petty/snide remarks, lame jokes, and the ability to creep the hell out of any female members that we have left here?
