Boring is the exact word to describe this team, the Oklahoma City Thunder, why would you name an NBA franchise that name?? Sounds like a D-league or WNBA team or a MLS Soccer team (which I HATE soccer).. I believe the first major mistake was moving Charlotte Hornets to New Orleans, and then creating an expansion team called the Charlotte Bobcats.. What? why didn't they just keep the Charlotte Hornets and expansion a New Orleans team?? Some things just don't make sense to me.. Kindof like when the NFL (which is my favorite sport but I love basketball too) when the NFL moved Cleveland Browns to Baltimore and called them the Ravens, great name and all but why did they expansion a Cleveland Browns team a few years later?? What?? Getting back to Nba talk, I guess I can live with the New Orleans Hornets and the Charlotte Bobcats. After their names have been beat into my head for the last few years they don't sound so bad anymore, Lol. Charlotte Bobcats is a poor choice of name but I do like their logo and colors, and that team has Michael Jordan in its front office, so I can respect them. New Orleans Hornets colors n jerseys are great, and Im glad they kept the name Hornets and the logo cuz its awesome... BUT, why the Thunder?? I really can't stand that name, the logo is too plain, the jerseys are even more plain, the team sucks and can't win any games so it doesn't help when the team is 17-57 or whatever their record is.. Actually the name really isn't that bad, its more the logo n jerseys and even the look of the home floor at Oklahoma City arena that just make that team sooo ridiculously boring.. Check out this link, to an image of an Oklahoma City Thunder logo, http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm168/cocajunasylum/OklahomaCityThunderConcept1.png ,,,,, they shouldn've picked that logo in the top center,,, true I agree, I think the name is a poor choice.

We should look to the outlaw heritage of our state like Jesse James and such. Or railroads, Trainrobbers, Bandints, Rustlers, James Gang is better than Thunder so is Twisters. People are afraid of twisters. Also drop the city part so we include all of Oklahoma. Grey and Red Oklahoma Gangtsers with six guns crossed as symbol!!!! yall have my email I expect some money sooner rather than later when the team relocates. Thunder is the worst!

I just don't know what happened to the originality of professional team names. What happened to the days of the Packers, the 76ers, the Dodgers, the Bengals, the Sooners, the Terrapins? Now we are faced with monotony and it is simply retarded how boring these new teams are. Why wouldn't you make something original or something that really represents the region. I'm from Kentucky, we have thunder up here as well! If they wanted to be blue and orange and have a boring new name when didn't they just call themselves the Charlotte Bobcats 2?

When refering to players on older teams, you can say "a Spur," "a Piston," or "a Celtic.". What are you supposed to call an OKC player? A Thunder? There is nothing you can call an individual on the team. Bennett is a communist! Has anyone noticed that all these new-fangled team names are collectivist, discouraging individualism?

The crowd can yell Thunderball with the theme music in the background. Cool idea!
