Oklahoma City Thunder 2024-25 Season

Waking up to the Chet news as an Oklahoma sports fan after this weekend:

[kukblue1]

Kendrick Williams might be back tonight for the Clippers. He was heading for the G-League but need him now. Chet I'm hoping for being back All-Star break. 10 weeks to reevaluate that is Mid January. A month to get back into shape. Fingers crossed. Hartenstein is back mid Dec or about 20 games. We need to probably go 12-8 or stay around 500 until he gets back. Not worried about what seed as long as we remain top 6. SGA needs to take over for a bit and be the MVP of the league.

I think we’ll be okay, just probably won’t be having a historically good season anymore. Maybe go pick up Poku, Biyombo or someone cheap that’s played here to provide depth until Chet gets healthy again.

SGA and JDub are going to have to carry us for a bit until Hartenstein is back. SGA could make a strong case over the next 15 games for league MVP. That's probably the number of games until Hartenstein is ready to go. Mid Dec

[Libbymin]

Career high 45 points for SGA tonight and a gutsy win. Pretty obvious though that teams are going to exploit our lack of height on defense though. Zubac was a real problem for us and other teams will be doing the same until we can get some of our guys healthy again.

Zion out.

Weird silver lining of Chet being out may mean SGA gets back into his zone. Zion and KD both out these next couple games should really help in giving us an opportunity for the W.

pretty wild to think about the numbers Zion would put up against us (given the big situation) if he were able to play. A 50-piece and 20 rebounds wouldn't be out of the question.

lol no

Zubac should have had 30pts last night, but our annoying smallball defense is juuust enough to keep him from dominating.

[Laramie]

Players are getting more playing time and reps with Holmgren and Hartenstein out. If they can win half of their games until one of our big men return, we should be in great shape to win the WC granted they aren't any more injuries to the starters.

Gotta give it up to my man Luguentz Dort (19 points), he pestered the hell-out-of Harden (17 points).

https://x.com/OptaSTATS/status/1856341954818093115 I think it's really important to win some of these home games coming up before the road trip end of the month. Pelicans have so many players out. Suns have no KD but still have Nurkic. Mavs will be a big problem, Spurs and trailblazers both have bigs but games we could win we are better than both them teams. Than the road trip that scares me. Kings and Sabonis, Warriors who can play small ball with us, Lakers with AD and Lebron. Eight games to the end of the month. I'll be good if we stay 500 and go 4-4.

Thunder Unveils 2024-25 Nike NBA City Edition Uniform
Team will debut uniform at Paycom Center for Nov. 17 City Nights game

OKLAHOMA CITY, Tuesday, Nov. 12, 2024 – The Oklahoma City Thunder unveiled its 2024-25 Nike NBA City Edition Uniform today. The team will debut the uniform at Paycom Center during its first City Nights game Sunday, Nov. 17 against the Dallas Mavericks.

Created in partnership with Nike, the uniform’s design completes a two-year story arc reflecting Oklahoma City’s evolving landscape, growth, and momentum.

“The 24-25 City Edition Uniform is an expression of Oklahoma City's progression and unique cultural renaissance stemming from the optimism inherent in Oklahoma’s people and heritage,” said Brian Byrnes, Thunder senior vice president of Business Operations. “It pays tribute to the innovators that have shaped Oklahoma’s culture and are pushing it forward.”

As a statement of unity, the jersey features OKLAHOMA lettering across the chest. This is only the second Thunder uniform to feature the state’s name as the visual center. The base of the uniform sets a distinct tone and is topped with a belt buckle of the state’s outline which speaks to the pride in Oklahoma’s roots, what it is today, and trajectory into the future.

The pops of color in the piping, chest mark, and numbers represent Oklahoma City’s energy as well as the bright and optimistic art commonly found throughout the community.

The pattern featured inside the side panel is custom-made and consists of various elements of Thunder logos and wordmarks. The elements overlap representing how progression is the result of layering collective experiences, contributions, and perspectives.

In addition to the uniform, the Thunder’s City Edition platform includes a City Edition court and City Nights theme games. Each Sunday home game, beginning Nov. 17, is designated as a City Nights game, during which the team will wear the uniform and play on the City Edition court.

Extending the uniform’s expression and celebration of local creatives, each City Nights game will also feature an exclusive, in-arena retail item in collaboration with Round21, a sports and art platform founded by Oklahoma native Jasmine Maietta; and the return of the Fresh Take Poster Series presented by Michelob ULTRA. Each poster is designed by an artist from the Thunder Artist Group (TAG) and will reflect a corresponding cultural moment - art, fashion, music, development, culinary, or fitness - being highlighted during a City Nights game.

Yikes, that might be one of the worst unis the Thunder have had. Also kind of odd that it's the "City Edition" uni yet they only put Oklahoma on it to represent the state instead of just the city. I actually like the idea, just think it's a little goofy they did it on the "City Edition."

I'm so ready for a simplified rebrand.

It is an attempt to win over all Oklahoma fans who are having a rough year in football.

Yea those are so bad. Like how is it possible to have nothing about the city on the city edition jersey? The jerseys this year around the league are just so bad.

Honestly the only jersey of ours I actually somewhat like right now is the orange OKC one.

I’m not a huge fan of orange generally, but given the other options, you are right it’s our best.

Something else that annoys me is that they switched our white jerseys a few years ago to say Oklahoma City and the blue ones to say Thunder. It seemed to be tradition for the home white jersey to have the team name and the blue away jersey the city name. I looked back and previous to a couple of years ago all the Thunder and Sonic jerseys were this way. I don’t get the change. The other seems traditional.

I wish they’d have done a state inspired jersey previously. They could have called it anything, but city edition is a misnomer.

[dankrutka]

I don’t think these are even in the bottom half of OKC jerseys. My favorites are the navy blue versions of the current orange OKC jerseys with the slight thunder glitch. The colors all make sense with these. They’re fine IMHO.

The Imagine That jersey? With TravelOK on the back!

The Imagine That jersey? With TravelOK on the back!

I'm not sure if I'm the only one that noticed it, but Best Buy has also in the past year adopted Imagine That as a slogan.

I also wanted to share a cool site I found when I was looking at all of our past jerseys.

I think the 2020/21 season is my least favorite. Ironically another "city edition" featuring just the state name.
