How about, "Blazer's Bitches", which I fully expect them to be for the next decade or so....
Posted by butch | July 2, 2008 8:20 PM
Superhicks?
Okla-Homies?
Dusty Raindrops?
Posted by Oh my | July 2, 2008 8:40 PM
It will probably be the "Sooners".
I'll bet they'll be just OK, having come out of the WASH.

Okay, who has the over-under for time frame for Paul Allen to move the Blazers (or hold Portland hostage for concessions - you know Sam, Randy, and those other nitwits would bend over backwards to pay even more taxpayer money that they don't have).

The "Flycatchers".............it's the State Bird.

The OCs
The OK Corrals
The Okie Dokies
The Migrants
The Rather Sooners Than Lattes
And, the winner:
The Oklahoma Heartland

I like "Soonics"

"The Rather Sooners Than Lattes"
Ironically, I had to clean some latte off my monitor after reading that one. In honor of the whole sordid process that led to this, I think the new name should honor the one person that doesn't get nearly enough blame: The Oklahoma City Stern Screw Jobs.

How about the Oklahoma City SOS
You could think of them as the Seattle-Oklahoma Supersonics or the Same Old Ess.
Which they probably will be.

Oklahoma City Bombers
Posted by Andrew | July 3, 2008 9:13 PM
I thought about the Tim McVey angle, but decided not to "go there"...Glad you did though.
How about the Frequent Flyers?
The franchise formerly known as Supersonic.
And they just use a logo, instead of spelling it all out. Like Prince.

I kind of like the Oklahoma City Weasels in honor of Clay ("I'm a man possessed!") Bennett.
Or maybe the Oklahoma City Best Faith Efforts in honor of the (still pending?) litigation w/ Howard Schultz?
Posted by John | July 5, 2008 10:08 AM
Why not just call them The Bennetteers or The Professional Basket Club LLC? That way, no matter where they follow the money, the focus is on what really appears to matter . . . owners and partners and not the public that may support a local team for many years only to see them leave.

Oklahoma City Cyclones. But than they will probably hold a debate on whether or not enough people know what a cyclone is... and as a result they will be named something terrible like the Oklahoma City Twisters! Than the owners will stumble upon the fact they can play "The Twist" by Chubby Checker during player introductions, and the franchise will fold before your eyes on opening night in 08.
