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?

This name is an epic fail...No matter how many times I say it out loud, I think WNBA basketball.

why?
think about other names in the NBA
like the Wizards
Super Sonics
Jazz
those names reak of "gay"
Thunder at least has some manlyness to it....
like the name....hate the logo
Well they add themselves to the annual quiz of: name the teams that don't end in a "s." As for the name, it was leaked for several months now and I am not too fond of it, but it's not bad either...
Thunder sucks. Outlaws would be sick

even this would be sick

I get the same feel from it
I really hoped for Barons.
Not bad....Whats their mascot gonna be? A damn cloud?
I thought WNBA too for some odd reason.
I dunno Sparks, Shock, Thunder all seems to fall in line.
I think thought Yobore hit the nail on the head. It won't matter over time and will seem natural.
Really sucks, when you consider what could have been...
Oklahoma City Outlaws
Oklahoma City Bandits
Oklahoma Oilers
Oklahoma City Greed
But compared to Wind, Energy, Rain, Sun, Sleet, and Hail... it's a good name.

there is too close of a connotation with oil "robber barons" of yesteryear-- plus the fact they essentially stole the sonics from us
