The Oklahoma City Thunder. Really?
Really?
So far, I am unimpressed. Sure, there is already going to be some hatred from me since I don't think Seattle should have lost their SuperSonics. But, you have to move on.
But the Thunder?
First off, guys don't like professional franchises that don't end in an "s". I mean, we don't like the MLS or WNBA, do we? See, they have those weird non-s-ending names.
Not to say the NBA doesn't have that (Jazz, Magic), but those names aren't horrid. The "Thunder" sounds like a Roller Derby team.
I can already see NBA writers with their "And The Thunder Rolls ... ", "Thunder Boom", "Bringin' the Thunder", "Thunder-ous" and all the other easy headlines this name makes. I mean, what is Thunder but a noise? Quick hot air.
The other is this logo. I mean, c'mon. I know they are all strapped for time ... but you'd think they could come up with something better than a cross between the Nets and Bobcats logos. We all know how awesome those logos sell.
Maybe we have just run out of names for our sports teams.
