The Seattle Supersonics are Now the Oklahoma City Thunder
It wasn’t a surprise to many, but Oklahoma City finally came clean with the name of their new NBA team.
The final verdict: The Oklahoma City Thunder
Apparently the NBA isn’t too good at keeping a secret. Images of the team logo began to surface over the weekend and even merchandise was popping up at the NBA online store hours before the announcement yesterday. Back in July, an ABC affiliate actually leaked information that the name of the team, formerly known as the Seattle Supersonics, was going to be called the Thunder, but the name wasn’t officially chosen yet.
Why?
Because officials were considering other names such as: Wind, Barons, Marshalls, Bison and Energy.
Hm, I honestly think they couldn’t have chosen a more boring list of team names. Wonder who the mascot is going to be, Captain Planet?
