Season low for turnovers - 6.

Any idea what 50 cent and Holyfield were doing in town? Seems kind of random.

[Urbanized]

50 Cent was here to promote Effen Vodka, in which he owns an interest. He did an appearance at Byron's. Holyfield was here for a fight night event. He actually attended the past two Thunder Games. OKC Fight Night

[CCOKC]

I know almost nothing about 50 Cent but he left the game a little early with a large entourage and walked up the aisle right next to my section. He did seem friendly enough and slowed down to wave to people who were taking pictures of him. A lot different than the experience of lil Wayne coming to a Thunder game.

Heard they were both in town to watch Singler shoot the rock

Westbrook's killer dunks are a major concern.

What do you think?

[Laramie]

Satisfied with current brand that has grown on me over the years. If it is changed to black & gold with the feather in the K in OKC; it's okay. Indian heritage is apart of our heritage.


The black & gold was depicted with Kevin Durant in an NBA Oklahoma City Barons' uniform before the Thunder name was finalized.

Many of our popular minor league franchises & OCU collegiate team used Indian & bird related names- mascots:

Oklahoma City Warriors 1933 (Stockyard Coliseum) American Hockey Association
Oklahoma City Indians 1951 (Holland Park) Texas League (AA baseball).
Oklahoma City Chiefs 1944-99 (Frederickson Fieldhouse) NCAA I (basketball)
Oklahoma City Plainsmen 1967/1968 (Taft Stadium) PFLA/Continental Football League (semi pro football)
Oklahoma Redhawks 1998-2008, Oklahoma City Redhawks 2009-14 (Bricktown Ballpark) PCL (AAA baseball)

Thunder as a Thundering herd of Bison could make that transition.

[Thomas Vu]

"Thunder higher-ups hoped fans would think of two things when they heard the name -- storms and rapmaging bison -- but they didn't want to commit visually in either direction"

While I like the new colors, the logo presented wouldn't accomplish the mission either.

[Roger S]

Well the Thunder fan in me likes what I see but the Jayhawk in me cringes at the thought of wearing anything black and gold.... /shudder

Not bad. This other Re-Brand is cool too:

Jake,

That's a much better transition that could be made for the re-branding; like that coordination of the raging bison, thunder bolt and court logo. Especially the K in OKC on the jersey--looks great. Wish they could add a little color to the court logo. Great skeleton plan; hope they can go with the green light on this.


Great, we can keep those current orange/black OKC jerseys for throw back. Westbrook's a perfect model.

Add some color like an orange or brown buffalo and a basketball colored state.

This has an NFL Buffalo Bills flavor of which I'm okay with that.

I hate the feather thing. Reinforces old stereotypes about Oklahoma City. Yes, it was a part of our heritage, but it doesn't have to be associated with OKC's biggest brand.

The logo on Westbrook looks like an AC/DC album and the court is wayyy too busy. The state outline, the buffalo, two lightning marks, and a star in the center of the state. I'd be fine with a little change, but that's going too far.

[Jersey Boss]

I think this was the inspiration.

[BlackmoreRulz]

Hate the "K" in the above on Westbrook, looks exactly like the Nazi SS logo.

[Mel]

Good game against the Mavs. I think I like the squeakers better than the blowouts. Harder on my insides though.

[Urbanized]

^^^^^^
Winning squeakers demonstrates a toughness that heretofore has been absent in the Thunder. I don't want to get carried away, but with this win streak you're starting to get the sense that they may finally be gelling.
