seattle wouldn't give up the supersonics name, which basically means in 5-10 yrs seattle is going to get a expansion franchise, so it's going to be like the charlotte situation again except charlotte didn't fight to keep the hornets name

supersonics?
What kind of stupid a** name is that?


At least thunder doesn't make me think of nerds.
I'm all for the name change.
But bottom line:
I don't really care? 8D

lol, the team name usually goes with the home town -

like The Detroit Pistons - pistons in cars, thats where cars were made

the houston rockets - NASA and their rockets

San Antonio Spurs - people wore spurs on their boots

Miami Heat - its hot in miami lol

don't know about super sonics but i would assume something to do with supersonic speed...and i guess there is a lot of thunder in oklahoma city but still, thunder sounds corny to me lol

Oklahoma City Thunder sounds longer, but Oklahoma City is what makes it sound long. Thunder is pretty corny, but so is every other sports name out there. you can't hide from corny with sports.

Also
SUPERSONICS.

sayyyy the word.
Why doesn't this word bother you guys? D:

This word should be banned, destroyed and never remembered >:U


Seattle Supersonics
Nerds of the sports world! HUZZAH
