Wow!

Barons is a decent name, it's classy. Outlaws just sounds too much of a cheap cowboy name that doesn't fit with the likes of "Pistons, Lakers, etc." But that's just me.

Barons and Outlaws are pretty good names to me.. then again, nothing will ever please the members of RealGM! lol

They have to sign Baron Davis now though.

Black and Gold is cool, but Barons? It just doesn't ring well with Oklahoma City to me.

I like the Seattle Supersonics.

They have to win a couple of lawsuits before choosing colors and names.

I don't think the Barons are that bad of a name. I haven't heard anything tossed out there thats better.

Here's a list of a bunch of international team names: http://www.internationalbasketball.com/teamnames.html

I'm sure there's something better in there than *The Barons*.

Most inappropriate name: Oklahoma City Bombers.

Cyclones?
Oklahoma is in the region known as tornado alley, after all.
and the abbreviation could remain OKC.

Barons might be the best of the bunch but that's not saying much. Perhaps it will grown on me even though I wish it wouldn't. You can thrown in your own joke for that last sentence.


As long as the owner doesn't name the team after himself ie Bob "L. Johnson" Cats

:rofl: :bowdown:

I thought Thunderbirds wasn't bad but it'd need a cool logo to go along with it. Or maybe just an actual species of bird instead of being so generic? Whatever the biggest bird in Oklahoma is, maybe pick that.

Black and gold is awesome though, I've been wanting a team to start wearing that for a while.

I made a FBB league a while back in which one of the teams is the Kansas City Barons, so I have a vested interest in not seeing that name go through. :evil:

Barons? Outlaws?

How about the Rashos or the Jasikeviciuses?
