No, D-League logos look better.

The logo and colours and well deserved. It´s the perfect mirror of Bennett´s way of acting: It´s simply classless. But, hey: You OKC-people did not care how this teams comes to your town, so why should you care how this team will look like? Seduced people do not ask questions.

I feel for you OKC fans. Terrible colors and logo. At least you got a nice group of talented youngsters and this will be forgotten :(

As for the cheap name and logo, the sad part is that there have been posters on here that have come up with far superior ones, such as funkatron's, which is 100 times better. And Clay Bennett probably paid some company a six figure contract to come up with the logo.

But with time everyone will get used to it, like the Bobcats did. But I don't see too many people outside Oklahoma ordering the jerseys to wear.

Just to note, which I don't think you mean to imply it, but I did not create the logo I posted. I merely found it on the internets and thought it was very striking. It embodied the team name perfectly, while the actual logo doesn't represent anything. Strike that. It represents a clear sky. Which is the opposite weather condition for thunder.

KyleinOK, are you ashlov in disguise? I mean your thin skin is exactly the same as him. I see you're new to this site with 6 posts to your credit, but you need to know something. People from everywhere visit this site and simply give their opinions. If you don't like them, tough.

Look in the mirror. From your post the "baby" comparison fits.

I did say that over time people will get used to the crappy logo and name. Afterall, as Sam Presti said, it's about the player wearing the jersey.

Ya, I have to agree with almost everyone here. That color scheme and logo are really terrible. The black and gold look would have been MUCH better.

Now these colors and logo would have been really nice!

I was very dissapointed to see the new colors of the once proud Sonic franchise. If you are going to move a team and change everything about it...put some thought into it for crying out loud. Its like someone gave the designers some colored pencils and a stencil and let them have at it. Horrible.

That mock up is probably the best representation of "Thunder" you can get. You look at it and envision a loud thunderous crack.

I understand that it might have been difficult to illustrate a sound, but they didn't even try.

One interesting logo I saw somewhere had a charging buffalo. I thought that kind of had a different representation of thunder as a loud deafining sound. Or maybe a herd of wild stampeding horses. "Thunder" could be made to be something other than the weather.

I think the OKC fans need to move beyond the colours and logos anyways. It's a little shocking that there's pretty much no mention of basketball itself on this site.

I think the reasoning behind it is that alot of the people from around here that would be getting down to talking basketball have had their set team for years. Ive been a Wolves fan since the rider days and even though its a big deal and I am now just miles away from a team my loyalties are stuck with minny and id rather discuss the pups than thunder....jmo
