    Re: Here's your choices for our NBA team name

    More on it here:
    http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2...e=lukas/080709

    I like Thunderbirds for its Native ties. It is also a cool name.

    Outlaws has too many potentials for trouble when the players become outlaws (as the link described)

    Barons is meh and a certain baseball team MJ played on a few years back already has that name.

    Oilers is associated with losing (thanks Houston)... and got dumped a decade ago for that very reason... that and the Tennessee thing.

    Thunderbirds are go!

    You KNOW what the national perception of "Thunderbirds" is....

    Anything but Barons would be nice. For pete's sake they should try not to make OKC sound like a bunch of yuppie doucebags. That's all we ask. Sports teams should carry some kind of intimidating connotation not overly try to be "sophisticated (ghey)". Could they go ahead and name this stupid thing already so I can come to terms with its retarded name and move on.

    Re: Here's your choices for our NBA team name

    Thunder is lame. Thunderbirds is cool in theory, but it would sound horrible as the name of a sports franchise. Pretty much every name suggested is not that great at best, so we should just be called "Oklahoma City" and leave it at that.
    at this point in the process, I can only assume it was a typo and they meant to say "cram"...

    Not to mention the dance squad would obviously have to be the "Pink Ladies"
