KOCO.com (it's the TV station in Oklahoma City) is reporting that the NBA team there will be named the Thunder.
So what was once the Seattle SuperSonics is now the Oklahoma City Thunder. Can't wait to see what those uniforms look like.
The Seattle SuperSonics -- the nickname, the records, the history -- stays in the northwest. If the team is ever resurrected there, they'll just pick it up. Kind of like when Art Modell moved the Cleveland Browns to Baltimore. The players and personnel went, but the name, history and all was kept in Cleveland for when the franchise was started up again.
