We Have A Name!

[OKCisOK4me]

Not good PR policy to not have the name AND logo ready at announcement time. Again, it would be nice have a name when scheduling, but the location is all that matters when making a schedule. We already have and are the location. Again this is all about IMAGE or BRANDING. Don't build a half ass brand by announcing the name upfront but don't have a logo ready for 2 months. Geez, could you imagine the national flack we'd get in the press (especially in Seattle) by not being completely ready at announcement time. The dumb redneck Okies are so eager to announce their team name, they don't have colors and logo's picked yet. A business of this caliber shouldn't and won't operate that way.

Jeez, don't get all over me about it. Okay, okay....name & LOGO now, then everything else later! Sorry bro, I only had one marketing class when I was in college and that was a long time ago...

Say my name Bastian! Say my name. PLEASE!

The ownership group has operated without loose lips ever since they emerged on the NBA scene. They bought the team as a shocker, and settled as a surprise. Why would it be so hard to believe that they've been working with the NBA for 22 months on a new team name, mark and colours?

Just because an NBA spokesman said it, doesn't mean that it takes that long. PR people lie ALL THE TIME.

I would assume the ownership has had this planned for sometime now. Trust them. The team name won't be stupid, and you'll grow to love it.

Yes, and we all know that as talked about in the court session a few weeks ago, Clay Bennett & company's sole mission was to move this team to our city. I'm positive, as of the day they acquired their sales receipt it was that same day they started working on the new team name.

Say my name Bastian! Say my name. PLEASE!

I just saw one of the minority owners and he let slip the new name.

You're going to LOVE IT!!

[Rover]

OKay, that's just mean. Now you HAVE to let us know! We won't tell anyone.

And he just got in to my cab...yes I have wi-fi in my cab!

Like we're going to believe you!

[Karried]

Speaking of off topic. the Neverending Story is one of my all time favorite movies..

I agree, the title is misleading.... I was so excited this morning when I first saw it.

Same here, I do like the sequel better than the original and part 3 is just a horrible disaster

The sequel was lamo...Sidekicks/Seaquest DSV boy as Sebastian just didn't work for me. Then again, I was much older when the sequel came out. And then this third one, didn't it have Jack Black in it? Never saw it, but heard that...

I thought Jonathan Brandis did a good job in that movie, yeah, the 3rd one has Jack Black in it

[Jeopardude]

Hahah whatever.

You're wise and astute. The owner said nothing.

[Martin]

since we're waaaaay off topic anyway....

i can never watch neverending story ever again.

[Thunder]

Topic thread isn't misleading. We do have the name for the team. It was reported to had already been signed off. Soon, they will announce what it is. I'm just puzzled that whoever have some sort of connection isn't giving OKCTalk the first scoop!

[Nixon7]

I heard we may not know anything until late September because of the NBA orsomething. Anyone hear this?

[NativeOkie]

Its a vast conspiracy.
globetrotters would not allow the prairie trotters.
everywhere they turn a name is chosen then lost.it is the same with the car tags all that was left is ok.
Oh THE HUMANITY of it ALL.

I heard that just a few posts ago, actually.

Uhoh, someone's been listening to Deano again....there's only a 50-50 chance anything he says is reliable....but there's only a 30% chance of that...

[Midtowner]

I don't know how many times I've come close to posting a "No Really! We Really Have a New Team Name!!!" thread..

Someone should rename this thread "false alarm -- listened to Bob Barry"

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

Greaaaaat...Now I've got Lamar stuck in my head.



Neverending storr-oor-eeeeee aaaaaa-aaaa-aaaa
