OKC officially down to 6 nicknames

[Red Robot]

Barons, Bison, and Thunder are all okay. I'd get used to them and they wouldn't be any worse than a number of names already in the NBA. Call me old fashioned, but I still like team names than end in a plural "s". Bison doesn't have an "s", but it's still a step up from vague Energy or Wind.

[studcrackers]

they should be called...

Oklahoma Mustangs

thats a terrible name

i wish theyd go with an original name, barons arent bad and the suggestion of sidewinders sounded ok

of course i wouldnt mind something completely tasteless like bombers either

[rewill17]

Oklahoma Windholes
Oklahoma Wind Energy Thunder Bison Marshall-Barons or the Barons for short.

[WEFFPIM]

Oh how I want it to be the Wind.

[TOStateofMind]

Barons is the only good name. Marshalls arent too bad either. But Bison, wind, and evergy lmao Thunder seems decent compared to those other 3.

[BR0D1E86]

And why the hell are they changing the name, anyway?

Because now that David Stern has allowed his buddy to steal a team from a vibrant NBA city for no good reason whatsoever, Seattle will soon have another team and it will be named the Sonics.

[SOUL]

Wind for the laugh factor.

[IsiahThomasJr]

I agree with the above poster. OKC deserves that crappy nickname.

[The Emcee]

Should just round it out. "Earth, Wind, & Fire"

I've always thought Outlaws was a sick name.

Out of those choice, tho, I'll take Thunder. Barons just makes me think barren (which actually works I guess).

[Teddy KGB]

OKC Energy. PLZ??? That would be easily the most stupid nickname in all of pro sports. And this includes the Grizz from a city that has no grizzlies, and even the bobcats...

[markdeez33]

Barons...

Its gonna be great when B-Diddy comes to town!

[panacea]

Where is the "these all suck" option on the poll? Barons is the best of the bunch though.

[SpeedyG]

Jesus, you would think people who dream of owning a sports franchise would already have a good team name in mind.

Wind? Thunder? What are they forming here, Captain Planet?

[ICEMANRC]

I realize that it would be rather insensitive but I think Tsunami's would be a cool name.

[knicksNOTslick]

They should just make it the Wind Tunnels.

The Oklahoma City Wind Tunnels.

There's sort of a ring to it.

[BillsGiants_Rep]

How about the Oklahoma City Outlaws? Has anyone mentioned that yet?
