I like the little spaceman logo. That should honestly be the primary, or at least the logo on the caps.
The comet flying around the bat logo weirdly reminds me of the Columbus Blue Jackets. How about that for an obscure reference?

I wasn’t defending the selection (though I do like it) so much as pushing back on another poster’s assertion that connecting it to Mickey Mantle’s legacy here was a stretch. That’s a patently and demonstrably untrue statement.
You can start with the statue out front, the design and installation of which was approved by the man himself.
The name is underwhelming. Feels like a high school mascot (probably because my high school played the Dickson Comets). The aerospace stuff seems like an afterthought--they picked comets and then needed to justify it more than just Mickey Mantle's nickname. Definitely feels like a miss not to pick something more fun and didn't need to be explained. Like a halloween costume: if you have to explain it...
yea, that actually is tough as hell. even if it has nothing to do with OKC.

This is their fourth team name in the last 11 years.
They're making it really easy for people to not care.
I get the Mickey Mantel connection, but not the aerospace connection. A comet is more astronomy then aerospace related.
They share a name with the worlds first commercial jet airliner which crashed a lot. Probably not the connection they want people making.
They could create a Bill Haley character to front the marketing, etc. Kind of a blend of Harry Caray and the fictional team manager.
