Can you hear the THUNDER!!!!

Re: Can you hear the THUNDER!!!!

I hope there's a curse on the franchise and Clay Bennett's every waking moment until the Seattle Sonics are playing in the NBA, again.

But really, what a ****ty logo and the uniforms are probably going to be worse. Worst looking team and worst playing team for at least 3-5 years. Have fun OK.

Well, looks like you got your wish. Those goofballs just hired Brian Davis as their PbP announcer. I feel extremely sorry for you guys in Oklahoma who now have to listen to this guy over-annunciate every other word, butcher names all game long, and announce to the audience like they're morons. There's a reason the Seahawks fired him and the local weekly FSNW football broadcast was the only job he could get. Comical.

The logo looks like the letters OKC over a slice of pizza.

Oh man my sides hurt form laughing at this

Re: Can you hear the THUNDER!!!!

I just dont get it. Anyone who took an undergrad intro to marketing class during college knows that those colors are terrible.

The fact that a giant like Mcdonald's has red and yellow in their logo is no coincidence. Its powerful its eye catching.

Its also no coincidence that George Bush wore a baby blue tie during his post 9/11 speech. He wanted to evoke sympathy and compassion by looking kind and gentle.

Their colors are passive, it says come walk all over us. Players like Kobe and D-wade are gonna murder this team not because they are the worst team in the league, but because they appear soft and its going to motivate anyone who is a true competitor.

This is wallpaper for a new born baby's room, not colors for a professional sports franchise.

The name could have been better, but its not bad at all. Its just the colors/logo thats terrible.

I would have picked yellow and black personally because its a good contrast between bright and dark and more intimidating.

Also people who grew up watching cartoons, comic books, video games will immediately associate thunder with lighting which they will then associate with the color yellow.

I'm late to the game, but, as an Oklahoman, I'd just like to say I hate the name, colors, and logo. The logo looks like the neon sign of a 1950s-era diner . . . Hell, it looks more like the Sonic Drive-In logo than it does an NBA team. I hate it with a passion.

That's how I feel. I feel like they screwed it up big time. The Oklahoma City Outlaws would have been sweet. Even the Barons would of been ok. I finally accepted Thunder and then they threw out this terrible color scheme.

BTW, the colors are supposed to represent to state flag of Oklahoma. I for one couldn't care less. I would rather have Black and Red.

The Thunder!?

That's Bush League.

I think I like the OKC TBA's better.

I understand the blue, but where is red and yellow in the state flag?

Those jerseys suck.

Re: Can you hear the THUNDER!!!!

Those are going down as the worse jerseys in the NBA by far. Why in the hell would they go "retro" with a new franchise? These jersey are completely generic and uninspiring. Why not go new school like Minnesota, New Orleans, Sacramento and Orlando?

I'm sorry to say, but I really think the NBA will regret leaving Seattle for such a bone-headed ownership/management group.

Re: Can you hear the THUNDER!!!!

Actually, I don't hate ém (eventhough the "Oklahoma City" logo on the away jerseys look kinda lame). The logo is still bad from where I'm sitting, but as far as the unis they're okay. A bit generic, a bit bland, but IMO they're okay

If that indeed is the court then; meh, not something to fall over backwards for. I wonder if the center will be filled out by the big, ugly thing they call a logo (honestly even this would be an upgrade)

Looking forward to seeing what the secondary logo(s) will look like - if you actually can look forward to being disapointed

Re: Can you hear the THUNDER!!!!

Classic look, very simple and plain, its not that bad I guessed.

Re: Can you hear the THUNDER!!!!

The uniforms . . . I don't love them and I don't hate them. I hate the name and logo more than anything else. I like the blue, but I hate the orange/red and yellow.
