OKC Comets sounds like a women's roller derby team.
The LA Dodgers took the name back. OKC had no choice, and no chance to retain it.
The Phillie Phanatic
The Phillie Phanatic is the official mascot for the Philadelphia Phillies Major League Baseball team. He is a large, furry, green flightless bird with an extendable tongue.
REALLY?? And people are upset about the Comets?!! LOL Get over it!
We're going to support the Oklahoma City Comets as we have supported all the sports teams representing our city. Sure many of you would be disappointed, there were so many name choices that could have branded our AAA team with a rising challenge.
Los Angeles Dodger organization chose to relocate their top farm team from Albuquerque to Oklahoma City--that to me says a lot.
Go Oklahoma City Comets!
Exactly this ^^^^^^ I think the comets will resonate with the youth.
Am I in the minority here? Maybe 89's was before my time but I loved Redhawks. And Comets isn't that bad.
Comets isn't bad, it's just...generic. Like the default name of an expansion team in a video game or something. Aviators, Flycatchers, even the Cielo Azul would all be much better and have some sort of tie to the metro.
Comets is OK. At least we're not the Chihuahuas, Mud Hens, Jumbo Shrimp, Rubber Ducks, Yard Goats, etc. Minor league baseball has some really bad nicknames.
I wonder if whoever chose this name is a secret Classen High grad.......... ?
