Honestly the best and most appropriate names for an Oklahoma team would something to remember and honor the American Indians in the state. However, most people would probably go up in arms if they did that, just like the NCAA did with Native American names a few years back. Though I'm sure they could have gotten together with the tribes and come up with an appropriate name that was not derogatory or insulting.
I like "Cyclones," it works wells following the "C" it "City"... I wonder what the runner-up name was... "Thunder" does sound like a NBADL or WNBA team.
I agree that it sounds like a minor league team. But Bobcats is worse, sounds like a high school team.
The Thunder's are on a game 5 game losing streak............just doesn't sound right. Cyclones or twisters would just be wrong.
that's terrible. thunder. c'mon. eff it. not my team, but really sonics moving to oklahoma of all places is terrible.
It could have been worse. It trumps Thunderbirds, Barons, Twisters and most of the other names in my opinion. It's not great, but I can live with it. Of course, I'll always be a Rockets fan first and foremost.
