Its classic, boring, lame and it looks like it has been stolen, oh wait, just like the Sonics stealing…so it makes sense.

At least Mr. Bennet follows a pattern here.

“And the colors represent much about Oklahoma.” it truly does, because oklahoma sucks, there is nothing there plus half of the time u have to be running so that a tornado doesnt kill you. those ppl over there must feel like they are trapped inside the movie twister.

Thank you Clay “Idiot” Bennett. You are just reinforcing the idea that most people from your state are clueless. BTW, when your merchandise sales are tanking (cause the only people dumb enough to buy stuff with that crap logo are from your city), you continually keep putting losing product on the floor (Cause what free agent in their right mind would come to OKC? It sure ain’t for the night life.), and you eventually lose support from the snake oil salesman David Stern (your inside buddy to fast track the move), then maybe, just maybe, that dim light bulb in your brain will go off and you’ll realize that you should’ve stayed in Seattle and made better money in a metropolitan city that those cow chip fields you’ll be playing in. What a dumb ass.

“Team officials said they hope they can make the qualities of character, perseverance, selflessness, community and winning synonymous with Thunder.”

Other things synonymous with thunder…lightening, rain, and clouds.

What the hell is Clay Bennett smoking? Did he see that logo? It looks like hell, is what it looks like. Obviously we haven’t seen the uniforms yet, but seriously how forgettable is that logo? It’s just a basketball for Christ’s sake. Granted the Pistons logo is just a basketball, but it has some style and a certain vintage appeal that just doesn’t go away.

I mean, who did they get to design this? The guy who designed the Grizzlies uniforms? Or maybe the guy who designed the magenta and teal Grizzlies uniforms? Or, perhaps it was the moron who designed the old Vancouver Grizzlies uniforms.

Honestly, what is so wrong with a normal, classic basketball uniform vis-a-vis the Celtics or the Bulls? It seems like OKC is already trying to alienate potential fans.
