LOL from the article:
[quote]There was similar resistance when the Seatte SuperSonics changed their nickname to Thunder when the franchise moved to Oklahoma City in 2008, but now the nickname is widely accepted.[/quote]
Um, no, the nickname is not widely accepted. It sucks. Their logo sucks, their name sucks, and their color scheme sucks.
Bombers, Marshals, Tornados, Outlaws; anything is better than the "Thunder."

I don't think it looks bad, but I don't get the name or why they chose that color scheme.
