Team name for Seattle

Since Seattle is getting a new team, and it's unknown if they will keep the "Kings' or retrieve "Supersonic"

What is your opinion on the new Seattle NBA team

SuperSonics. Only way to go. Correct me if I am wrong but I believe the Thunder owner(s) already said if Seattle got a team and wanted to use it they would be fine with it.

I thought the team was renamed from Supersonics to just the Sonics during the 90s. I thought it went from an abbreviation to a full on change.

I am so mad nostalgic for the days of the Glove, the Reignman, Detlef Schrempf, hell, even the Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis days, lol.

SuperSonics or bust.
