Today is the day! What if it's something totally off the wall and stupid like Boomers or Banditos? How about Longhorns. haha. No, I"m not in denial...Thunder!

I had a dream last night it would be the OKC Cougars and the jersey was like the Hornets jersey, same colors but had a picture of a cougar (the animal, not a woman). Weird, I know.

It's too early to laugh that much!! The animal, not a woman. lmao. I think that would have been a better dream had it been a woman!

As a reminder (and because I don't want to go thread digging), does anyone remember off of the top of their head what were the six names they registered :

1. Marshalls - billboard seen debunking this
2. Barons - billboard seen debunking this
3. Twisters - billboad seen debunking this
4. Outlaws - billboard seen debunking this

5. Thunder - presumed name

6. Energy - was this the other one they registered? Has anyone seen any signs or things saying that Energy has run out of gas / or steam, or whatever?

I find it mildly amusing we may be having minor thunder storms throughout the day and into the night.

Dude...You've got some crappy dreams! Get some issues or something!

what ever happened to bison?

what ever happened to bison?

They were driven to near extinction due to overactive game hunting but made a recovery in the1900's.

Hahahaha. :congrats:

I saw some downtown. Its no wonder they almost went extinct they move so slow people paint them.

Leaked schedules? Souvenir balls with bad logos? Billboards, etc....

Sounds to me like Mr. Bennett and the NBA hired a firm that specializes in immersive marketing games.

Here is an example of a similar type of marketing practice: Secret Websites, Coded Messages: The New World of Immersive Games (http://www.wired.com/entertainment/music/magazine/16-01/ff_args)

If this is the case, then kudos to them on a summer of intrigue that attracted a lot of discussion, otherwise it is all a bit amateurish.

Hey Guys!

They are setting up over at Leadership Square for the BIG announcement today. Here is an insider tip! The second floor balcony will be a great sport to catch all of the action! Great birdseye view.

"Birds-Eye View?" That means its the Scissortails!...

"Birds-Eye View?" That means its the Scissortails!...

Hawks, Eagles, Crows, Chickens, Roosters, Hens...

"Birds-Eye View?" That means its the Scissortails!...

lol, that would be a cool hint!

But, alas, not a cool name..

I'm pretty convinced it's Thunder.. too bad this rain is messing up our big announcement ... it's stealing our thunder. :doh:

Can't wait until this afternoon!

The six that were registered are Barons, Bison, Marshalls, Thunder, Energy, Wind. So Energy and Wind have yet to be ruled out by a billboard.

Thanks, JB.

So - theorhetically, Bison, Thunder, Energy and Wind are still all viable candidates - that is assuming all of the "media" leaks are false and Traber, the Oklahoman, et. al. were duped into believing - and reporting - it.

What time is the press conference?

5pm.

Which is a stupid time. Everyone will be leaving work or cooking dinner. Why not have it at 4pm so we can all pay attention to the internet or radio. Better even, make it 6pm so we can leave work early and attend!

I'll never understand the people who plan these things.

The area downstairs is not very big...I don't think it would handle a bunch of people that don't work downtown flooding in...although as posted somewhere, the 2nd floor balcony will be a good overflow viewing area.

kmf, I'm guessing that since most downtowners get off between 4-5pm, they want to create a buzz and capture the foot traffic from the 52,000+ people that work downtown and make one of the leading stories for ALL newscasts 5pm, 6pm, 9pm and 10pm. I do understand and appreciate your concerns, especially when it's city agencies that schedule public meetings at 10 or 11am during a workday, thus working class can't attend, but since this is a private business, they can do as they wish.

Yeah it is a very odd time.

Yeah, they can do as they wish. But when it's a private business relyinng on the money being spent by the working class you would think they would want as many people there to buy their merchandise as possible. From a person who does promotions and marketing, it's just not a smart decision on their part. 5pm is not a good time for the local media either. They already have news scheduled at this time. They would be better off with a breaking news report.

Just got "word" from someone who supposedly looked in the store when she was walking by. Baby blue, silver, white, black. Thunder. Same logo that was leaked.

I hope she is kidding with me.

I get off @ 7pm today....will the store still be open?

I am down with the colors; please not that BS logo!

That doesn't make sense? Why would the official logo have different colors than the official colors?

I am down with the colors; please not that BS logo!

My thoughts exactly. However, I asked her again and she says she is not kidding.

It doesnt. The logo design is correct but with the silver, baby blue, black and white colors.

It's called MEDIA ATTENTION!!! Want to be the lead on that 5:00 newscast. Remember, in OKC, we're all about Live-Local-Latebreaking.

Once you get into primetime network progamming, unless it's something serious (usually BAD serious), they don't want to break in. Costs too much money.

Tell that to KOCO. They break in all the time with nonsense. They love it. I know all about media attention and I still disagree with the 5pm time slot. But whatever. I thankfully already know what they will be called and what the logo looks like so I won't have to watch. I just can't wait to wear my shirt!

I bet the logo is fake. It's simply too bad to be an official NBA logo.

Anybody know where we'll be able to stand to watch the PC? Are they gonna have it outside the building? I get off at 4:30, and I'll be hauling a$$ to get over there for a good spot.

It's inside, and as someone posted in this thread somewhere, the 2nd level might not be a bad idea! Jsut take the escalator up from the main level and you will be able to look down.

Do you like your shirt? I'm not sure I'm going to like any shirts with that logo on it, so I'm hoping it is a ruse.

I'm still holding out hope for this:

Thanks, I'll do that. I'll be wearing a black pullover and blue adidas shorts, so everybody feel free to say hi!

I will be wearing red and trying to look through cracks in the paper on the windows!

????? Nothing is showing up. I'm assuming these are the Barons photos, or the Thunder with the rampaging Buffalo?

It could be. But if the colors are baby blue, silver, white and black, these pictures would have to be changed by someone who knows their way around photoshop to give us all a glimpse of what the uniforms could possibly look like.

This thread is getting me all pumpedl I might go downstairs and try to sneak a peak.

Strange you can't see the images that popped up in your quoted post. They're Thunder images...kinda brown/gold/black/white for the colors. Cool logos none the less, just don't dig the colors.

I'm still hoping for this!!!!!

Weird, I see Kimmie's delightful artwork of the Super Scizzors, but cannot see the other embedded photos. Must not be meant to be. Oh well.

Do that! I'd like to know if these people who say they've gotten a peak inside the store are really telling the truth. If it were my store, there wouldn't be an millimeter of uncovered space until 5 p.m.

Well I found a crack. 100% confirmed: it's Thunder and that's the logo.

Checked out the vantage from the second floor too; they set some speakers up there and that woul dbe a good place to view from...

I'm still hoping for this!!!!!

Best. Logo. Ever.

Nice find, betts.

I guess that clears things up then, doesn't it?

Yup; I don't know if I even want to go down to the presser now after being so disappointed in the logo.

whoops

That is SOOOOOOO LAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess that clears things up then, doesn't it?

Oh well. So, I hate the logo. I will still be wearing it proudly at games!!!

Not me; hopefully they have a shirt that's the OKC colors without the logo or somehting....I'll still buy one, though!!

Dang. And I still can't see it.
