+2 thumbs upThunder?  Are you kidding me?  I say go with Outlaws or Boomers(it's the name of their "state reptile").

On ESPN radio someone said the SoonerSonics.

One came to mind immediately, but it would be in poor taste.

Cyclones?...kind of like Outlaws also. As far as colors go, I hope the uniform designs and colors are original....doubt that happens though.

Whatever the new name for the Sonics, who now, will represent the City of Oklahoma City...the "name" will be something, we probably, would never have imagined.  The NBA Management and the Front office of the Oklahoma City ___________, will have to come up with name soon.  The NBA Summer League has begun and the players game jerseys read, Oklahoma City.  As for the Colors of the (unknown name) of Oklahoma City, that too, probaby will be something, we never imagined.

faithsports13...I'm gonna go and buy you an IMAGINATION!!  C'Mon, son...put what you really think in here!  We know the "DAVID STERN" answer...You should have something like this:

 

Name:  Oklahoma City Dusters

Colors: Clay Red, Brown and Gray  (Red and brown for the dust and dirt they'd blow around, and Gray for the storm clouds that brings the wind)

I lived in OK a long time ago and I remember as my dad drove the state we saw a lot of oil rigs, not as much as TX, and I thought this could be cool:

+1 thumbs upBack in the day, Oklahoma City had a CBA team named the Calvary and I believe their colors were a dark blue and yellow.  That would be kinda cool.   Although I just did a little research and it turns out that the new CBA has a Lawton Fort Sill Calvary so I guess that wouldn't work.

I vote for Thunder.  Outlaws?  Come on, be original.  Don't rehash old nicknames.  They had a USFL team named the Outlaws.  Don't be like Denver and recycle old names like the Rockies (NHL team '76-'82) or the Avalanche (MISL team in the '80s).

 I also liked the Tornadoes or Twisters. I would go with Hunter Green, Black, Silver, and Orange.   That way it wouldnt be too too different from what they were
