Thread: NBA in OKC: What Will They Name the Team?

Almost put this in the old thread, but decided we should start fresh.

Here, the leading talk is about the following choices, but the team owner's have been silent.

1. Barons
2. Thunder
3. Outlaws
4. Marshalls

Yesterday, there was a crazy rumor that it would be the Oklahoma City Thundercats. Ugh, that would be embarrassing, being named after a mid-eighties cartoon about super-hero cats.

Of course, all the Sonics fans have their favorite demeaning names. My favorite from Seattle is the Okie Dokies.

Anybody have any good ones? I'll try not to get too defensive and take any anti-Oklahoma jabs in good humor.

The Braves

LOL...sorry...offensive post, my bad...forget I said that...

OK...seriously...will they be the Oklahoma _____________ or the Oklahoma City _________?

I think they should be the Oklahoma Outlaws. Wow, that's way too cheesy.

Um...wow, Oklahoma SuperSonics.

They have said that the name will include Oklahoma City, not just Oklahoma. The City really pushed for that assurance when we were voting on paying for the Ford Center renovations and practice facility.

With Sonic Corporation headquarters less than a mile from the Ford Center keeping SuperSonics would make a lot of sense, but they agreed to leave that name behind in case Seattle is able to get a team back there.

speaking of which I have never seen so many sonics in my life like one every 15-20 blocks on the main roads..

Sonic would be great and I suspect they would be a great sponsor.. But alas the morons in SEA wanted to keep the name Like another NBA teams would ever go back there..

Yeah....I don't think pink and brown would look good on an NBA uni. Now purple and brown...

Purple and brown is the new teal and green.

Then they could donate $1,000 for every 360 dunk to tornado victims.

Seriously though i like the barons. I think that would be a good name for a bball team. There are lots of teams out there like the hurricanes or thunder or storm or something. NOt to many barons.

I like Barons.
