    And in the spirit of our own football team, I suggest they call them the:

    Oklahoma City Oklahomians.

    Does that mean their mascot is going to be a Thundercat?

    Here's a funny column on the name choices. It was exactly what occurred to me when I first heard "Wind" (how do you cheer for them? I can only imagine rude noises) or "Marshalls" (discount clothing?). Lame, lame names.

    Funny thing is, Balrog's orginal US name was "M. Bison" (i.e. Mike Bison) but because they feared being sued by Mike Tyson, they switched the four bosses names around except for Vega.

    Sagat was the only one who's name was the same.

    M.Bison here in the states was Vega overseas
    Vega here was balrog
    Balrog was M.Bison

    What are their colors going to be?

    Looks like it's gold, black, and green from the website.
