September 4, 200817 yr Author QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 3, 2008 -> 08:09 PM) uh, isn't that a WNBA mascot? No, you're thinking of Chicago's WNBA mascot Thunder Thighs.
September 4, 200817 yr Is this an NBDL team? Seriously, what a dumb name. Tornadoes would've sounded better and that sucks too. Why not do some sort of Cowboy thing, I know Texas has taken most of those names but I'm sure there's something out there.
September 4, 200817 yr Its getting mocked already. I'm so happy for Clay Bennett. Seriously, not one of the 6 finalists was anything but ridiculous and "minor league-ish"
September 4, 200817 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 3, 2008 -> 07:17 PM) Logo is sweet. Seriously? I think my high school had a better logo.
September 4, 200817 yr what a disgrace.... was clay bennett ever a fan of a team? would he ever have cheered for a team wearing those horrible jersies?
September 4, 200817 yr QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Sep 3, 2008 -> 10:54 PM) Seriously? I think my high school had a better logo. I think Underdog had a similar one.....maybe it's Mighty Mouse I'm thinking of. Nope, neither, it just looks cartoonish. Edited September 4, 200817 yr by LosMediasBlancas
September 5, 200817 yr Why are they trying to make their uniforms look like the Washington Wizards uni's?
September 5, 200817 yr The whole move still seems odd to me. Not saying a team can never leave a city, but this one just seemed to go down badly. LOL, I just went and looked at the other names up for consideration, damn you are all right, those are horrible Edited September 5, 200817 yr by SoxFan562004

Texas Tech, which is close, is the Red Raiders, which is kinda a cowboy, at least the mascot is. I think they had a great chance to come up with something really cool and this is what they came up with? Meh.

I forgot about OSU being the Cowboys, but I didn't want them to pick the Cowboys anyways. I don't like it when sports teams have the same name, like the Giants and Cardinals are both in baseball and football. I was hoping they'd pick something like the Marshalls or along those lines, but that name wasn't even mentioned. Instead they pick the Thunder, which sounds almost as bad as Iowa's new hockey team, the Iowa Chops. At least OKC continued with the lack of plurality such as the Jazz, Magic, and Heat. And in my opinion they should drop the "City" and just be the Oklahoma Thunder.

The Bloomington Extreme is so named because of the Extreme Motors dealership that is a big sponsor. Another funny name to me is the Omaha Beef.
