Oklahoma City Thunder
NBA team
Created On September 3, 2008
The team was created
On the morning of September 3, 2008, as the original SuperSonics team of Oklahoma held a press conference, it was announced His new team name - Thunder. The newest NBA team was finally born, which also represented the end of the SuperSonics. At the same time, the colors of the Oklahoma City Thunder have also been determined. According to owner Bennett, the colors of the Thunder will be composed of blue, red and orange. Blue will be the main color, echoing the colors of the Oklahoma state flag, while red and orange will be the shining afterglow.
Oklahoma owner Bennett announced on July 2, local time, that he had paid off 75 million in lawsuit compensation and moved the SuperSonics from Seattle to Homer, Oklahoma. However, due to SuperSonics owner Schultz wanted to use a lawsuit to keep the Sonics in Seattle on the grounds of breach of contract, which hindered Bennett's relocation plan. However, as Sonics owner Schultz dropped the lawsuit, Oklahoma City can finally move things out of Seattle. They had already begun transporting some of the Seattle SuperSonics' office supplies to Oklahoma by truck. However, Sonics championship banners, trophies, retired jerseys and other items will still remain in a museum in Seattle, and Oklahoma can only use replicas.
Bennett does not value these past honors. Although he retains the ownership of the Sonics team name, he will not continue to use the name after the team moves to Homer City, Oklahoma. And if a new NBA team moves to Seattle and wants to use the SuperSonics team name, he will give it up for free. Bennett is also quite satisfied with the design of the new team, but after all, people already knew the new team name and team logo before Wednesday's meeting. Today's press conference is just a formality, which makes Bennett quite helpless. . Bennett said: "Yes, it is too difficult to hide this secret."
However, according to a survey of the Oklahoma City Thunder's name by the US media, a considerable number of fans chose not to like it. In this survey, there were two questions on the first floor, which were to investigate fans’ opinions on the team’s name and team logo. As a result, more than 50% of the fans chose to dislike or hate both options. It can be seen that Oklahoma It will take a long time for the MaCity Thunder to gain recognition from fans.
Edit the team logo in this paragraph
Although Oklahoma City will not officially announce the name of the local NBA team until September 4, Beijing time, in fact The name "Thunder" has long been known to everyone. At the same time, although the Thunder officially maintains a high degree of confidentiality regarding the team's logo, someone on the Internet has already leaked the team's logo in advance.
A few days ago, on a private blog with the theme of the Oklahoma City Thunder, someone posted a photo of what appeared to be the team's logo in advance. According to the publisher, the photo came from a moving worker for the Thunder, who used his cell phone to secretly take a photo of the sign, which has been kept secret.
Judging from the pattern and style, the Thunder’s logo obviously wants to take the “minimalist” route, but it feels very much like the team logo of the Cavaliers or Bobcats. In addition, the idea of ??combining the triangle background with OKC characters seems too conventional. The poster of the photo was not satisfied with this. He wrote in the article: "This logo is really ugly. I really don't want it to be the real team logo, but there is also the official NBA logo printed next to this logo. I only have one wish now: I want it to be just a secondary logo, not the team's primary logo."
Representative colors
The team chose blue, red and orange as the colors. The team's representative color is because blue comes from the color of the Oklahoma state flag, while red and orange represent the colors of the sunset.
