Re: Fan reaction to Oklahoma City name of Thunder
[QUOTE=bdreason]Horrible name.
Thunder - A loud noise that does nothing.
Sounds like a WNBA or Minor League Baseball team.[/QUOTE]
I completely agree with the WNBA comment. That is precisely what popped into my head when I heard the name and saw the logo.
Re: Fan reaction to Oklahoma City name of Thunder
Thunder is a poor choice of name. What they should of instead of just using thunder, they should have added to it
Thunderstorm(although too similar to Seattle Storm)
Thunderbirds(That would have been decent. The logo could have consisted of a jet, a bird, or the Ford Thunderbird logo... I'm also bias towards Ford Thunderbirds)
Thunderbursts
IMO, thunder is a cool sounding word, but by itself, it sounds very corny when it comes to a nick name or team name.

Re: Fan reaction to Oklahoma City name of Thunder
Thunder is a nice name but I still prefer it to be called Okalahoma Rayguns.
Re: Fan reaction to Oklahoma City name of Thunder
Thunder isnt too bad name i mean it could have been worse but the team logo wtf did they spend like 30 seconds and three dollars on it cos it is just so cheap and crapy looking
Re: Fan reaction to Oklahoma City name of Thunder
Some of the mock up Jersey's done by people on the net, look better then the real one. Like the Cyclones one. It looked better, and sound better then thunder. It looks like out dated already.

[QUOTE=Silverbullit]I can hear it already:
One of my favorite ACDC songs :cheers:[/QUOTE]
problem is the Mavs play that song between EVERY 3rd and 4th period. im sure a lot of other teams blare it as well. now they want to use it as their main theme? lame.
its also been the name of an NFL Europe team.

Re: Fan reaction to Oklahoma City name of Thunder
I like the name Thunder. Says power to me. That said, I would have had a more "powerful" logo.

[QUOTE=insidehoops]Let's start this discussion again, now that it's official.
The Oklahoma City Thunder.
Think about the name for a bit. Stare at it on the screen. Say it aloud a bunch of times. Let it sink in.
And now, what do you think of it and why?[/QUOTE]
What do you think Jeff?
