wow, just wow....

[cedbled]

I don't know what pisses me off more:
The Thunder name and stupid a-- colors, or the fact that apparently their "marketing" team GOT PAID to do little more than come on okctalk and hornetscentral and eavesdrop on what most of the folks were requesting.


Now, I really am glad I fought so hard for OUTLAWS\BARONS, and better colors, because obviously, it would've made a difference.

Logo's gay

[Nixon7]

that logo is the worst in professional sports. we waited that long for something that was done in microsoft paint? have you guys checked out the shirts available on nbastore.com? They are all so generic and THUNDER is in huge script with okc or NBA basketball under it. They better get some better stuff, those flat out suck. Ok, done with my knee jerk reaction. other than that, GO okc THUNDER!

[m2kneo]

im going to go ahead and coin it now... the okc blunder... because they screwed up flat out name logo colors... a huge blunder.... hmmm oh well at least it is still football season... Go Sooners!

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

So this is the thread where all the emo kids go to cry about the world not lining up to their expectations AGAIN?

Cool.

I wish my lawn was emo so it would cut itself.

[Karried]

oh gawd, lol... the emo lawn... I'm using that one on my teen's friends ....

correction:
This is the thread where people who think greater OKC got ripped off by folks who were PAID to market this team in a professional, classy way for OKC, did jack **** other than ear-hustle the team name\theme song from the posters here, and on hornetscentral.com

If you agree with what they pulled on us, just say so.
This is NOT the time for your bull****.

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

Sorry. You aren't in charge. You don't get to say when it's time for my bullsh*t.

And if you can crap on the threads where people are happy, happy people can crap on your thread.

Oh, and I'm the only one here that has a bone to pick?
You are protesting just a bit much, dude.......
See folks, now let's all ask Mr. whatever how much he got paid for his design....

It must be yours, so let's hope the Thunder have half the defense you're putting up right now.

[Karried]

How quickly we forget... wasn't too long ago that an NBA team here in OKC would have been unthinkable.

I don't really care about the logo, I can't wait until Sept. 9 when I get to pick my seats ....

sheesh, all these negative responses are unbelievable and very disheartening.

I know some people are disappointed but come on, it's not the end of the world... logos can change, and we can work with Thunder

For God's sake, we have a Team!

[FritterGirl]

Cedbled, dude. Take a chill pill.

I'm right with you on the deflated expectations stuff. I have already expressed that I am NOT a fan of that logo. Still, it seems you're taking Gawd's comments WAAAAAYYY too seriously.

He just calls 'em like he sees 'em. Ya gotta love that.

Besides, when all is said and done, don't you think that the important thing is what those players put out there on that court, and not on their shirts?

Yes!

[OU Adonis]

There are a lot of apologists on this board.

I hear "Well there are worst logo's out there"

and

"But at least its OUR team"

If I spent $400 million on an item I would expect a better image being put out.

Its like spending $300k on a car and slapping a "Honk if your horny" bumper sticker on it.

Its like having a face only a mother can love. Yet we had the chance to craft the best looking face out there for our child and we came up with this.

We pick the name "thunder" then use colors that are sky blue and go with sunsets.

Nothing says blue skys and orange red sunsets like thunder.

You only have 1 chance to make a first impression.

LMAO.

Dude...

A) I'm not protesting anything but your Debbie Downer attitude across the board on this, and I'm doing it VERY obviously with my tongue planted firmly in my cheek.

B) You're trying to pick a fight with a guy that goes by the internet psuedonymn "Oh GAWD the Smell!". You're taking this a bit too seriously.

[betts]

Guys, the colors actually are quite good. I think the red-orange and gold look great on the sky blue. I don't love the navy, but they were going to have to use it or black for lettering. Once I saw the gear I was a lot less upset about the logo. It looks fine. And there are more to come. It all looks way better than that basketball in the picture.

[donbroncho]

I'm hoping that this is all a nightmare. Alas, it is not. Colors are good, logo is utter garbage. Very disappointed, dismayed, etc etc pretty much feel what other people on here have posted.

Hopefully they work on it some more and i don't know, make it look halfway decent.

I'll cheer my head off, but until they fix that logo, no merch for me.

But still trying to stay positive...:-)

[edball]

I like the name Thunder, but they should use Thor's war hammer in the logo.

[Midtowner]

I like the name Thunder, but they should use Thor's war hammer in the logo.

Thor... that works because of the viking runes found out in Heavner.

-- sort of.

--- really..no.

Not enough mass appeal.

How much sense does it have to make? What about the Oakland Raiders, Arizona Cardinals, LA Lakers, etc.

[edball]

I guess they should have went with Thunderbirds. That name has a lot of tradition in Oklahoma, and it would make a great logo.
I would like one in this style...

[MadMonk]

Jeez, with all the cattiness here over design, colors, etc it's like an episode of Queer Eye.

Whatever. Although I wasn't overwhelmed by it, it's not bad. It kinda grows on you. What will be amusing is watching the haters jump on the bandwagon and wear the logo when the Thunder begins winning.

edball, is it just me or does that logo look like a oil derrick gushing oil?

[OU Adonis]

Yes, nothing says mass appeal like a basketball with two arrows through it.

Now that you mention, I can see it too, that makes it even better.
