ITT: Minor league teams

Sounds like an NBDL or WNBA team name.

Also that logo is just awful. It has no zing to it at all.

hahaha, fuck OKC. Should have called them the Bombers, team stealing faggots.

Most generic sports logo in the history of sports logos. It means nothing, it symbolizes nothing, and it produces nothing but derision. Unless they get a new identity next year I expect them to collapse before 2012.

Are the Thunder the NBDL affiliate of the Albuquerque Thunderbirds?

>Mason, Wilkins, Carlesimo Agree: Logo a Hit
>Thunder.nba.com

>Nothing against black and white, those two paired up just fine for Summer League uniforms and the first run of T-shirts and hats. The name on the front was fine, too: just Oklahoma City.

>But now as the heat of summer cools toward fall, coaches, players and fans needed a splash of color. And a name to put after Oklahoma City.

>Say hello to the Thunder.

>"At first I was like, 'Well it's not that big a deal,' " Head Coach P. J. Carlesimo told reporters Wednesday. "But believe me, after a couple of months it is a big deal. I'm tired of people saying what's your name and us saying we're the Oklahoma City ... and we didn't know what to say. We didn't have colors and it really is, it's a lot more meaningful than I thought it would be."

>A lot of meaning and thought went into Oklahoma City's nickname. THUNDER. It means power and energy and, "It represents passion," Thunder forward Damien Wilkins said. "And hopefully we'll go out on the floor and represent this city the way it should be represented. It will have a lot to do with the noise that will be made in the Ford Center this year."

>Each of the colors selected have a special meaning in Oklahoma.

>"The colors reflect much about Oklahoma," Thunder Chairman Clay Bennett told the large crowd gathered in the lobby of Leadership Square for the annoucement ceremony. "Our primary color is the blue of our state flag, the sunset of the red and the orange." And to keep OU and OSU fans happy, "not too red and not too orange," Bennett clarified. "And the beautiful Oklahoma sun reflected in the yellow."

>"I love the things Clay said about the thought that went into it," Carlesimo said. "Representing the flag and the sunset but more importantly what Clay and (General Manager) Sam Presti want the franchise to stand for. It's a little more tangible now. We've got colors. We've got a name and it's going to make a big difference."

>Newly acquired forward Desmond Mason agrees. He spent some time buying Thunder gear for his family in the team shop at Leadership Square. Being a professional artist himself he said he really admired all the work that went into crafting the new look.

>"I like it. It's unique, the design is really good, cutting edge," Mason said. "The colors are really great. I really like the logo. The most important thing is it's good for the state of Oklahoma."

>Mason played college ball at Oklahoma State and he appreciated the blending of OSU's orange with the University of Oklahoma's crimson.

>"I think they did a good job by sharing some of the colors a little bit," he said.

>Those colors stood out in the crowd among fans gathered for the announcement.

>"I see a lot of crimson, I see a lot of orange but there's room for some thunder blue now, too," Carlesimo told reporters.

>Now the attention turns to the uniforms. They won't make their debut until training camp opens at the end of September. Those designs aren't being kept quite as secretive as the name and colors. The head coach has at least seen some drawings.

>"The mockups that I saw, they look very nice. The players are going to like them. The guys in the jerseys are going to look real good," Carlesimo said.

>With the strength of an entire state behind them, the members of the Oklahoma City Thunder are ready to rock the house.

>"Just the stability right now, we know where we are, we love it. We're going to be here, we've got a name, we've got colors," Carlesimo smiled, winked and then added, "We've got a great new home to play in and a better new home to live in so it's exciting for all of us."

>Sounds like it's not just the fans who've been thunderstruck.
