I am not saying OKCFC had sole ownership, it was just a jab at Tulsa who is our instate rivals. I guess for us who live in OKC, the scissortail image is getting over-used. Which for Tulsa might not be the case. I really do like the re-brand and I think it is more fitting of Tulsa.

They will still keep the Roughneck history and name within their community, it just won't be at the forefront.

As for the Energy using the OKCFC name, it was already taken by the WPSL club as well as the former group who was bringing the NASL to OKC. The name just was not available for Funk to use.
