What about the other Thunders out there? I know there is/was a Trenton Thunder. Wichita can't be the only out there who thinks they've got the rights to the name. And besides, Ole Man Funk owns the Thunder.

The Wichita Thunder have no legal basis to make a trademark name on a professional basketball team using the same nickname, period. Their G&S applies to professional ice hockey only.

Well, it's a done deal. Oklahoma City Thunder. Check yo' newspaper tomorrow.
Well, crap.
Ghey.
Possibly the gheyest of all choices.
Intangible names are teh succ. And this one is right up there with the worst of the WNBA. Will Gary England be the mascot?
And KC was right, only a matter of time before it all got 'f'ed up.
405>580>1-900>918
Though this name is terrible, I've got to hand it to the KC crowd for one of the worst names: "Royals". Though they did hit one out of the park with "Chiefs".

I Survived Drunkytown with OleVet and all I got was this rash!
With a record of 109-23 (.826) and six Big 12 championships in 10 seasons, Stoops has reason to be arrogant. But he is not. He is somewhere between humble and unimpressed.

****'s weak. ****'s weeeeeeaaaaaaaaaakkk!!!!!
at this point in the process, I can only assume it was a typo and they meant to say "cram"...
I still don't like it
For the good old American lifestyle: For the money, for the glory, and for the fun... mostly for the money.
thunder is a terrible name, sounds like a little league team.
Thunder sucks.
Anyone read Trammel's article today? Makes me hate the name "Thunder" even more.
And the thought of any G. Brooks song integrated into the games at all makes me want to puke.
some things arent meant to be understood

a poor record and bad front office moves (were they to occur) will likely be greeted with the derisive moniker: "OKC Blunder".

How did they choose this name? Seriously, it's bad.
Well, it was the leading vote-getter in a fan poll. That doesn't make me like it any more; it just means that the general public at large finds it the least offensive of all other options, I guess. Hardly a ringing endorsement, however.
Well, crap.
I really can't see any way that we'll have a halfway-decent logo and colors to go along with this ****ty name. Dammit, I am so disappointed by this.
Epic, epic, EPIC fail on the ownership's part. Like...Biblical.

the potential for the logo to be gawdawful is pretty high, IMO.
and then there's the inevitable goofy guy in a "Thunder" suit mascot, etc.
