Thread: NBA Team Name

    I like Thunderbolts, and see no reason the name shouldn't be submitted to them. But I'll still believe the Sonics are coming the day I see the sign up on the Ford Center and hear the ads for season tickets. I'm trying not to get my hopes up.

    I wonder why people think there should be a name change. Yes, this is all hypotheotical talk, I understand that, but to suggest that the Sonics neeed a name change is silly. If any team needed a name change to match something about the region,it would be the Utah Jazz.

    I think "Utah Jazz" is actually an oxymoron.

    -- and an indication that a name change would not be in the cards.

    I hope we get the team and keep the name Supersonics. There is some tie-in with Tinker, as I remember sonic booms as a kid.


    But if we really want some local flavor, how about the Oklahoma City Noodlers?

    I think they should be called the Oklahoma City Counted, But Unhatched Chickens.

    Don't know how that'd fit on a jersey, though.

    Personally I like the name Oklahoma City Surge... It would somewhat tie in with Chesapeake and Devon having to do with energy... Plus as we all know ( from previous Hornets games) the Ford Center can be absolutely ELECTRIC at times. Especially when it comes to those nail biters. One more thing, I'm not a huge fan of the OKC Thunderbolts it just doesn't roll off the tounge like it should. I agree with what someone mentioned in another thread... The announcer at games sayin something along the lines of " OKC's going NUTS for the BOLTS!!!" that just kinda sounds corny to me.

    Sorry... I just couldn't get enthused about the Thunderbolts. It sounds like the name a bunch of seven year old boys would use for their double-secret, no girls allowed club. Here are some alternatives:

    The Oklahoma City Ogles - there must be at least 5 of those boys around this town who can suit up for some b-ball. They look reasonably athletic and we know they can TALK a good game.

    The Oklahoma City High Rollers - a nod to our growing national reputation as the land of 10,000 casinos. You can't find wine in our grocery stores or cold beer in our liquor stores but apparently gambling is progressive. The WNBA franchise would be the OKC Bingo Playing Grannies. 20 free scratchers with every season ticket purchase!

    The Oklahoma City Welders - a tip of the hat to the most prolific vo-tech system in the country. We may not have enough college graduates to land a Whole Foods but lots of our gas stations weld toys for free. Take that Connecticut!

    The Oklahoma City Small Men - one more reminder that Dallas is the big boy and we're only playing in their backyard. Sure, we think we compete with them but when will we learn. The OKC Pintos was considered too similar.

    The Oklahoma City Huevos Divorciados - combines our heritage of fine Mexican food with our nation-leading divorce rates

    The Oklahoma City Pioneer Women - it was good enough for one of the quarter designs, it is good enough for the WNBA.

    On second thought, Sonics sounds just fine to me.

    Well okay, but why not pay homage to the winning quarter design by adopting the name Oklahoma City Scissor-Tailed Flycatchers.

    Unlike some people...I think we should name them after our weather.

    The Oklahoma Tropical Depressions.

    Or just The Oklahoma Flood.

    Oklahoma City Robbers... seems to be the perception among some out-of-staters...

    I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but how about the Oklahoma City FLYERS!
    It ties in with our aerospace heritage and represents our two popular aviators in Will Rogers and Wiley Post.
