Welp, according to KOCO, the name of Oklahoma Citys NBA Franchise is....the Thunder.
I can't say that I'm surprised, but this name was completely predictable. Yay, we're storms! It's not embarassingly bad, like the Bobcats or Texans, but it's just completely predictable and boring. No words on team colours, but I DO know who our mascot will be....
That's right, you heard it here first, we stole our team name from the Golden State Warriors mascot. I am a HUGE Warriors fan, so I can't let this injustice stand. Either the newly crowned "Thunder" pay royalties, or I dress up like Thunder to every Thunder game. (Well, maybe not....)
But, I'm not getting too hasty yet. KOCO is the 3rd ranked station in our market, and I doubt it'd get such "Insiders Info". Stay tuned for developments.

From what I understand, the Thunder refers to the Thundering herds of buffalo, once common through out Oklahoma. The rumor has it that the mascot will be a buffalo.
I know, kind of a slanted way to get there but...I like the idea better than being named after a by-product of lightning.
Oh really? That's a lot better, than. Actually, pretty creative! But, it remains to be seen if we'll choose the name.
