Oklahoma's NBA team name choices are sad :(?

Question

So, it's rumored that the top 2 choices are the Thunder and Barons. Other names that are still a possibility according to news reports are the Energy, Bison, Marshalls, and Wind.

These are all horrible NBA names. Energy and Wind should go into the WNBA!

My question, can you think of any ANIMAL names that would be an okay choice?

***Seattle fans, Please don't put negative comments on this. I think the team should have stayed until the lease was up in 2010 so everyone wouldn't be as angry. There would still be upset people, but it wouldn't be as bad***

Answer 5

I couldn't think of anything, tried to come up with something clever that had a ring to it.  The only thing I could come up with was the Oklahoma City Sun Dancers, being that there are many Native Tribes in Oklahoma as well as the Oklahoma City Hoop Dancers, also in reference to the tribes there but with more of a twist on it adding the word "Hoop" in there, which is in reference to the basketball goal.  h**l I don't know, but man they don't have much of a choice.

Answer 6

I would personally like the name of Oklahoma City Cyclones

Answer 7

Barons were our minor league baseball teams' name for many years here in Wilkes-Barre,PA.  Bison is the Buffalo teams baseball  name.  I know it's Oklahoma's state animal. How bout THE HONEYBEES! It's the states insect.

Answer 8

how about the oklahoma tropicals... lolz just kidding... how about oklahoma rangers?

Answer 9

Barons and their mascot Baron Davis lol

Answer 10

I thought they already named them the Thunder.

Um......they have already decided but idk the Bisons??

Answer 11

I like Oklahoma City Thunder. It has a presence. Plus the Miami Heat and Utah Jazz make it okay for a name like that.

I feel their uniforms would rip off the Warriors some since they have some thunder going on.

I like Marshalls.  Personally.

Animal wise....Oklahoma City Coyotes......Oklahoma City Colts......Oklahoma City Vultures.......Oklahoma City Prairie Dogs.........all could work.

But seriously, their famous teams are named Sooners and Cowboys.....obviously they don't know what they're doing in the OK.

Answer 12

What about the Oklahoma City Ocelots?

To the answerer below me,the Honeybees is the name of the Hornets' cheering leading squad.

Answer 13

they all suck to me. Oklahoma City Slickers has a better ring to me then all them other names lol.
