I heard a rumor that it would be the ThunderCats. Pretty cool I guess. What do you want the name to be?

They should be the Seattle Supersonics, but everybody decided to screw us over and rip our team away from us.

Ninjas.

The jersey will be pitch black and everyone will be required to cover their body completely. And the home games will be played in the dark. Screw the stupid fans who complain they can't see.

Could use part of their old name and be the SonicBoom. But have heard names like the Thunder and Mustangs in a poll that were the popular choices.

tumbleweeds.

since i (and most people) don't think OKC has the market to fully support a team for years like seattle did. the season with the hornets was just one season.

Sonics were in the upper half of NBA attendance the season before Bennett purchased the team despite finishing last in their division. And yeah, it's easy for a town to appear like they supported the Hornets when tickets were being offered at discount rates. Let's see how supportive OKC can be when they're forced to pay full price.

OKC Thunderstorms, OKC Bandits, or OKC Tornadoes.

I cant wait till then SuperSonics come back, that'll make for an intense rivalry. Everyone here's already pissed off at Bennett and Oklahomans

they sound so Minor League/ Arena Football becuase were not used to the name yet. Honestly the Mavericks can easily be a CFL or Arena Football name.

If they are called the Thundercats then they should play in the Thunderdome. But i think just the Thunder is a better name.

I saw in the paper somewhere that they had narrowed it down to the Outlaws, Thunder, Thundercats, or Barons.

Outlaws sounds good, but it seems like a name for an arena football team not NBA
