- canewediggit, on 07/26/2008, -5/+57i vote barons since they robbed seattle blind
- Skitzzo, on 07/26/2008, -2/+45Energy, Thunder and Wind are just retarded and sound like a WNBA teams. I'd guess Marshalls
- MyDiggIsBig, on 07/26/2008, -4/+38Oaklahoma City Bombers..... no, but seirously, what idiots are in charge of this. Ask a couple preschoolers and they can come up with more creative names than this ***** list. How the hell are you going to have a symbol for thunder. you realize its a noise, and can't be seen. Bison... well it reminds me of the Bulls, but 10x gayer. And why Marshalls? It doesn't even sound appealing. What about Oaklahoma City Soul? take a second to think about this decision. There has to be someone with common sense that can put stop to this idiocracy.
- amcerece, on 07/26/2008, -3/+22I've heard the Oklahoma City Outlaws being thrown around too, that's the one I would want
- jellydoughnut21, on 07/26/2008, -3/+22honestly they all sound pretty ***** to me. They sound like names I would make up on the fly for my created team in NBA 2KX. If I had to choose I would have to go with Marshalls, but I think it would be hilarious if they ended up being named "Wind" haha.
- Autodidaddict, on 07/26/2008, -3/+17The Oklahoma City Diggers. All players would need to be between 11-26, weigh either no more than 130 lbs or less than 280 lbs, and live in their parent's basement.
- WSUcougars, on 07/26/2008, -4/+17The Oklahoma City "This team won't succeed and will be gone in 10 years".... I love it!
- UberNick, on 07/26/2008, -1/+11Sure, then you can look up the obviously alluded Robber Baron
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robber_baron_(industr ... - cj485, on 07/26/2008, -2/+10those names all...suck.
- pdizz, on 07/26/2008, -1/+7I am strongly opposed to any team name that isn't plural and doesn't end in the letter 'S' (i'm old school like that). Plus these names are just terrible.
- jackieaxe, on 07/27/2008, -1/+5Barons: May have trouble with the diversity crowd. Barons were oppressive white males who exploited blacks, orientals, and the Irish to further their greedy capitalist goals.
Bison: Seems OK but I'd check with the oppressed Native American Indian crowd Maybe they could be bought off with a Casino ad in the rotation display in front of the scorer's table.
Energy: Doesn't offend anybody but the marketing people are having trouble with "Energy" , because of it's ever growing costs, and therefore a negative association.
Marshalls: Again, white male oppressor. Also, evil pro-gun message.
Thunder and Wind: It's amazing how vanilla these names have become. Sounds like WNBA/MLS names, though it doesn't offend anyone so I'd put my money on these two! - bryannnnn, on 07/26/2008, -4/+8shark week.
- richiewrt, on 07/26/2008, -0/+4Why would he get s-canned for that comment? its a quote from South Park.
- whataboutdave, on 07/26/2008, -1/+4Wind? Energy? Abstract sports names blow.
- sablowsky, on 07/26/2008, -2/+5sign me up, whens training camp?
- sonics99, on 07/26/2008, -1/+4You keep telling yourself that *****.
You know jack-***** about how we felt about the Sonics. As a season-ticket holder from 1985-2008 I can tell you I supported my team every game, even when our dumbass coffee mogul owner sold the team to a hillbilly okie under false pretense. I continued to support them even as the NBA version of the movie Major League played out before our eyes. Difference being that Cowboy Clay learned a thing or two from the movie and traded away all the veterans and superstars to make sure we would not make the playoffs. Good Luck getting or keeping superstars in a market that is actually crappier than Seattle.
Cant wait to laugh at the OKC Energy. That name is so bad, the XFL would have rejected it - alamedaman, on 07/26/2008, -1/+4they're not keeping the name because "supersonics" is tied to seattle, similar to how the Ravens aren't named the Browns- the Browns name is tied to Cleveland.
- WickedKoala, on 07/26/2008, -1/+3You know that OK is one of the largest wheat producers in the US, right?
- totallydismayed, on 07/27/2008, -1/+3I can't believe anyone would make fun of a city by referencing a terrorist attack that killed huge numbers of people. If you did that in New York you would not make it out of town in one piece.
- bryannnnn, on 07/26/2008, -0/+2yeah c'mon... the episode itself had an article that made the top 10, and people dropped the n bomb all over that thread...
http://digg.com/comedy/CNN_Comments_on_the_SouthPa ... - cryptomystic, on 07/26/2008, -1/+3OKC Thunder Barons.
case closed. - ZimbuTheMonkey, on 07/26/2008, -3/+5Owned.
- Midtowner, on 07/27/2008, -0/+2***** you. I was close enough to hear the bombing. My father was just 4 blocks away, would have been possibly killed had the room he was in not had thick drapes to stop the shattered glass.
We lost family friends in that explosion. I drive by the memorial several times every single day. You just don't make fun of that *****. - inactive, on 07/26/2008, -8/+10Oklahoma City Douchebags sounds appropriate.......
***** YOU for stealing the Sonics from the Pacific Northwest - owls27, on 07/29/2008, -0/+1Oklahoma City Blue Rays... and stick it to HD DVD one final time.
- junestag, on 07/28/2008, -0/+1mmm ok names i guess. my vote would be for thunder or energy...
- Midtowner, on 07/27/2008, -0/+1If Seattle hadn't voted overwhelmingly to keep the city from improving the Sonics' facilities and further refused to fund a new arena as the two different ownership groups and the NBA had been demanding for years, the team wouldn't have moved.
- heloh, on 07/27/2008, -0/+1If you're offended by any of those names you seriously need thicker skin.
- Xombot, on 07/26/2008, -3/+4Well all of those suggestions are better than 'Bobcats', so they have that going for them.
- InvsibleChimp, on 07/27/2008, -0/+110 years? I don't think they'll last that long!
- kidathinnes, on 07/26/2008, -1/+2"Marshal (also sometimes spelled marshall in American English, but not in British English) is a word used in several official titles of various branches of society."
I think that is why. - Peko, on 07/26/2008, -3/+4Ehhh, that's a bit risky, in case OKC gains a reputation for crime. See: Washington Bullets.
- yacks, on 07/27/2008, -1/+2"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo."
- mizarone, on 07/28/2008, -0/+1That's how its spelled in the US. I think they mean the Old West type of Marshall than a nerd.
- Endies, on 07/27/2008, -1/+2I vote Pain Train.
- shamanking911, on 07/27/2008, -0/+1why cant they reuse Supersonics? pardon me if this is a stupid question
- fadetoone, on 07/27/2008, -0/+1They'll just use a lightning bolt and call it thunder.
- bravo1995, on 07/26/2008, -1/+2Introducing your Oklahoma City Heart!
- chevyorange, on 07/26/2008, -0/+1If that, then the Crooked Cops.
- HappyScrappy, on 07/27/2008, -0/+1Part of the conditions for them buying the team was they can't have the name.
This is pretty common nowadays, so that if Seattle ever gets another team they can reapply the name. Avoids the whole Baltimore Colts problem. - GBurgKhana, on 07/26/2008, -2/+3Why not go with the Oklahoma Supersonics?

- inactive, on 07/26/2008, -0/+1I've only been to OKC once, and the only thing I remember about it was that it was flat and windy.
- spokenrope, on 07/27/2008, -0/+1That hasn't stopped teams in the past. See: New Orleans Jazz -> Utah Jazz and Minnesota Lakers -> LA Lakers.
- ericduh, on 07/26/2008, -1/+2Thunder
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/basketball/n ... - freebsdmike, on 07/27/2008, -0/+1I live directly across the street from the memorial and I didn't even put that together. I thought he was referring to the AFB here.
- Tyrghast, on 07/26/2008, -2/+3Sporting equipment includes ergonomic keyboards and apple products.
- Viniator3, on 07/26/2008, -2/+3From the omnicool TrueHoop blog: "The tradition of the bison could not be mightier. Nevertheless, it is a reality that in 2008 rich white men can not be seen to be sending a predominantly black group of employees into the workplace with the word "bison" across their chest. No way that happens."
I think the NBA should use all of those names, since they went through the trouble to trademark them. The OKC Thundering Baron Bison Marshalling Wind Energy splendidly rolls off the tongue. -
