July 23, 200817 yr Author Oklahoma City sounds so... Hornets post-Katrina. Just make it Oklahoma. I think they should, because they can market to the whole state. a la golden state, carolina (2 states), new england (6 states), etc.. you get the point. In that case the Marlins are in the wrong direction But yeah I get ya I still think Florida Marlins is a better idea, but I mean the Miami Marlins is going to get them a stadium hopefully so we can let it go

Do you think the Marlins would sill have a lot of fans from North Florida if they were called the Miami Marlins?
July 24, 200817 yr Meh, I think it's ok. Not as bad as I hear everyone else complaining about. I do wonder how you make a thunder mascot, considering it is an invisible *thing*. Maybe just send out a guy in a cloud costume?? The Tampa Bay Lightning have a bumble bee as their mascot... :blink:

July 25, 200817 yr Teams named after weather are stupid. At least Hurricanes are scary, but thunder? That's just retarded. Surely Oklahoma has something else they can use in a team name.
July 25, 200817 yr OK, I only said this to one person...but when people asked "It should be the Oklahoma City what?", did anyone else ever think "Bombers"?

July 25, 200817 yr Author so many good names could of been used, but they went with the lamest one. I can think of 10 decent ones (even appropriate NBA worthy ones) Cyclones Tornadoes Rebels Outlaws Renegades Riders Pioneers Oilers Cowboys Mustangs I think most of those are better than Thunder

July 26, 200817 yr So apparently the reports coming out were leaked too early, as it looks like it won't be the Thunder, makes sense though that they would leak a leading name early to see what the response was; it was obviously quite negative so back to the board they go. They've narrowed it down to these six - Barons Bison Energy Wind Marshalls Thunder I love Barons and Energy. Both would be great IMO. http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/537..._okc_nicknames/
July 26, 200817 yr Those are all WNBA type names and I think pretty bad. Of those, Marshalls is probably the best.
July 26, 200817 yr Author first bisons isn't a word. Its Bison so if they do that its stupid. I think I like either Marhsalls or Thunder the best of the leaked names. Marshalls is too much like the Spurs thought he same idea.

July 27, 200817 yr I would imagine the Energy name might have been trademarked for their Dance/Entertainment team? Like their version of the Heat Extreme team?

Gotta love the edit button! :lol LOL Energy? The OK Wind?! Ridiculous. After seeing a lot of this options I really feel like it has gotten worse, and thats bad.
August 1, 200817 yr How about the Cyclones? like this concept lets send this to the nba FO they changed the names before and we can make millions if they decide to change it
August 1, 200817 yr Author ^it is steven little's design so we won't be making a lot of money, but its awesome.
