Sounds more like a WNBA team.

 

[SigPi_Horn]

Did they trade for Sue Bird?

 

[Ramathorn]

Like I said before, that soundsl ike an arena league team.


Outlaws, Riggers, Scalpers,Squatters, etc. Anything but that.

 

[Zuerst]

shoulda went with "Durants"

 

[fall01nk]

The logo screams CBA.

 

[Bill in Sinton]

With the location in mind it should have been the Tornados. Their theme song could have been Telstar which was sung by the Tornados.

I don't mind the name, but that logo is the pits. Doesn't it look like the old warriors logo except more lame?

I think it will grow on everybody sooner or later.

I thought grizzlies, raptors, bobcats sucked too, now its just...whatever.

Its no worse than Nets, Heat, 76ers....we are just used to those names.

I remember when the Washington Bulletts decided to change their name to remove the "criminal inuendo" - hence the new name..... the Bulletts!



It grew on me - over time.

Thunder only happens when it's raining.

 

[l00p]

Do players ever love you?

 

[Horns83]

The name and logo reek of being created by some 17-year-old high school intern. That is really crappy...even by oklahoma standards.

 

[BrothaHorn]

Well, I guess we know who wins the WNBA next season.

 

[exuLt]

Only when they're playing.
