Does The Oklahoma City Thunder Souns Less Gay Now?

[Deviant]

Remember when they were deciding the new name for OKC and everyone hated the Thunder (including myself) when there were better names on the tables?

Has "Thunder" finally become an "acceptable" name now or have we just gotten used to it and it's still kinda' gay?

[FedEx227]

I think so. That's typically what happens with new names people always kinda freak out at first but once you get use to hearing it it's not that big of a deal. I mean imagine how ridiculous the Seattle Supersonics sounded?

[Mogriffjr]

I didn't have a problem with the Thunder as a nickname...what were the other options though? Barons or some gay shit?

[FedEx227]

Oklahoma City Energy was one of the ones. That is MUCH worse than Thunder.

Sounds like a WNBA Name

[FedEx227]

Exactly. Like the Connecticut Try Hards and the Phoenix Missed Layups or the San Antonio Crisp Passing.

Sounds like a WNBA Name

Sounds like a Dleague name, because it is.

Iowa Energy.

I've only been to like two games, that was enough of that.

You don't want to watch the scrap heap of the Chicago Bulls? Where else are you going to get your Demetrius Nichols fix?

[Archer]

I didn't really care

I wanted the team to stay in Seattle

yeah Thunder was a better name than the other ones they were looking at...the Barons, Bison, Energy, Wind.....altough there hasnt been much actual thunder storms in OKC this year.

But OKC does need some new unis. I like their color scheme but they're unis are so basic and boring.

[Big C-Dub]

It's not nearly as gay as the Minnesota Wild

[Proof21]

Should have stayed in Seattle and kept the Sonics..they PWNED.

Except when they beat my Kings.

[Point Blank]

It's growing on me now. Energy would be a horrible team name.

[Bear Pand]

Thunder is a lame name.
Their uniforms are ugly and use that blue color that like 20 other teams use.
They have the same color scheme as the bobcats, the last "new" team.
Their logo is ugly.
Thunder happens everywhere.

[FirstTimer]

I never thought it was a bad name but I grew up watching the CBA Quad City Thunder so I was already use to a team having that name.

What else could they really use? The Dust Bowls? Twisters?
