I like how the logo for a team called thunder is covered in lightning and bison....

I don't like the idea of "thunder" I do like "thunderbirds" but that is a d-league team. I like the idea of the "Plainsmen" which was an idea for the Sacremento Kings when they were in Kansas City.

Maybe he's closer to this:

I think Thunder would be awesome solely because they could use the opening of AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" as a crowd warmup, and also Garth Brooks' "Thunder Rolls."

Maybe because thunder accompanies lightning and the sound of a herd of buffalo sounds like thunder... ? How would you draw thunder?

Thunder:  Lots of noise, but no real threat.  [Tongue]

I, and every other parent, remember the conversation that thunder can't hurt you.  Unless it's the American Gladiator named Thunder.  Then your screwed.

Really it's a pretty good name (if it turns out to be accurate).  We have lots of thunder from storms, it could refer to a thundering heard (Marshall).  Good enough.

Anyone who's seen Cars knows "Thunder" is a putdown:

quote:

Lightning McQueen: In your dreams, Thunder.
Chick Hicks: Yeah, right. Thunder? What's he talkin' about, Thunder?
Lightning McQueen: Well, you know, because Thunder always comes after... Lightning!
[reporters crowd around McQueen]
Chick Hicks: [to his pitcrew] Who here knew about the Thunder thing?

Nevermind that it's the name of every third girls youth soccer team ("Who are we?!" "The Thunder!" "Who are we going to beat?!" "The Thunder!"), am I the only one who remembers the torrid affair between Superman and Captain Thunder in the 1970s . . . ?

Thunder is not a sure thing yet. Other possibilities are Barons, Bison, Energy, Marshalls and Wind.

But if someone does, I can just picture the sports headline. "Lakers Break Wind!"

Awesome, my vote is for Marshalls!  Maybe they would make my beer the official beer of the team or better yet the whole NBA.

The Wind would be great.  The only better option might be the Natural Gas.

I think Wind would be great.

It would finally surpass the “Tulsa Zone” as the worst name in the history of professional basketball.
