Oklahoma City Team Name and Colors?

With the news of the Seattle Supersonics moving to Oklahoma City, but leaving the colors and name behind, it got me thinking: What should be the name and colors of the new OKC team? I personally like the name Outlaws, which has been discussed already and good colors in my opinion would be Maroon, Vegas Gold, Black, and White. What do you guys in the Yard think?

I think that is good, I can see the OKC Bandits, or something like that. Those colors should be good though.

yeah, Bandits, Outlaws, or something like tht sounds good to me......glad you like the colors

The Oklahoma City Slickers. This is so obvious its TOO EAsy

How about the OKC Oilers have a derrick in logo kinda like old houston Oilers of the nfl.

ESPN.com has some pics of Oklahoma city practicing in Black Uniforms and white stripes. I'm thinking they're gonna go against the grain and actually not pick fluorescent colors as there unis.

just like Pac and the Outlaws

Outlaws sounds good. Maybe they'll let us vote like that new WNBA team the Atlanta Dream. I voted for them to be the Flight.

yeah good choice even though i am on person who thinks they shouldnt leave

Their colors should be yellow, white and green. I pick Supersonics as their name.

thats not gonna happen. the name and colors stay in seattle for the possibility of a future team.

How about the Traitors, or the Abandoners. Or even the Heartbreakers. Or the Theives, for stealling our team, ane our records, championship that OKC never was a part of. I really hope Clay Bennet chokes on a hot dog and dies at opening night at the Ford center. He should be ashamed of himself, ripping the heart and soul of a city away from them. He should've stepped up when the flippen Hornets were in town

How about OK We Suck? Oh wait, that's the Miami Heat.

Doesn't matter , the team will going bankrupt in two years and Clay Bennett will be begging to get rid of the team. Because OKC doesn't have a big enough population.

yeah that sounds cool but it sounds kinda fake....sounds like a team name in the AFL or the NBA D-League

Oklahoma City Twisters sounds appropiate. What the heck is a Thunder? Lol Can't touch it.

Team colors- orange and crimson and white to represent Sooners and Cowboys fans with a tornado logo on the jersey. Or could go purple and blue and white for storm clouds.

They should be the Oklahoma City Men in honor of...



Although with their current roster, the OKC Garbage might be more appropriate (sorry KD, Westbrook, J-Green)



I'd go with a maroon and gold color scheme.


what is this video? what made him so mad?

this is OSU's coach mike gundy making an a** out of himself! do some research bc he makes oklahomans look stupid but even more so, cowboy fans!!

okc i dont want the sonics
lol

hah! that's awesome.

They should be called the Dreadheads, because they have Gelabale and Wilcox.

team should be named after city of okc or state not after the players on a team from seattle.

I THINK THEY SHUD BE CALLED THE OKC RAPIDS AND COLORS SHUD BE GREEN,WHITE,BLACK,AND PURPLE..LOLZ

how about the bombers

not cool

DITTO.

HAHAHA

thats funny but pretty messed up

We came up with that one, what do you think about the OKC Uniballers

Hands down wins the contest for most clever name despite being very inappropriate.

I like the Bombers. Winnipeg already has a team called the Bombers. Why not OKC?

thank you

tru dat

Speaking of OAKLAHOMA. This could be one of the next potential NFL sites.

I don't think Twisters is appropriate either. I like the Outlaws... how about the Marshalls? I think Outlaws probably sounds better. They would just need to sign Travis Outlaw and they'd be set.

It would be wise to tie in OU and OSU with Maroon & Orange somehow. Either include both or go in a completely different direction. Oddly enough, the state colors are green and white.

id rather bo outlaw

I thought Twisters sounded fun, powerful and fast. Just right for the game of basketball. A lot of carnival rides are named that.
Are you saying it's not appropiate because the city had a really bad tornado? Is it not politically correct in the city to bring up that word? There are hockey teams named the HurrIcanes, Sharks, Avalanche, and Lightning. Most people aren't that sensitive when it comes sports names. The Bullets actually changed their name to Widards because of the impression or something regarding the community. It's their right but I don't think it changes anything. DC is still near the tops in murders.

As a Texan I don't see Oklahoman's being that way. Having a team named the Outlaws is really better? Hmmm. No right or wrong I guess. Just opinion.

How about burnt orange and white colors? Just kidding.

Of couse its Wizards! :)

"Twisters" isn't bad, but with as much devastation tornadoes cause in that area, I'd be surprised if they'd name the team that. You're right about the Hurricanes and the Avalanche, but I don't think the Sharks and Lightning compare.

I think Outlaws is better. It's more antiquated and still kind of cool. Plus it sounds better with Oklahoma City.

FYI -- back in the day Okc had a minor leauge football team called the "Twisters"

I just got a thought-- what about the Oklahoma City Roadrunners? Does it sound too amatuerish? It's got to be better than the Bobcats. :)

I wouldnt mind the outlaws or twisters. but tony korheiser (not sure how to spell it) made a good point one day and i thought it was clever. how about..."THE Oklahoma City" have "city" be the nickname would be sick.

Considering that Oklahoma has a strong Native American backround I can see them being named the Tomohawks or Indians or something like that

i don't see it though due to Native Americans complaining about those types of cultural names now.

My vote is for the Fighting Okra

LOL! RIght on, make that two votes for the Fighting Okra!

haha yes! fighting okra haha

How bout the Oklahoma City Haybails, why the hell is there a team there?

Rim Rockers with red white and blue colors with the logo being a b-ball going through the hoop

Okies?

how bout bisons. thats the state animal. and it makes for a successful aaa baseball team in buffalo. they won't be getting a nba team.

if okc can get an nba team, buffalo has to be on the short list.
