T. Boone votes for the Oklahoma City Wind Energy.
Personally, I think they should be Oklahoma City Bullets so Abe Pollin and his stupid name change can so suck a big one.

T. Boone votes for the Oklahoma City Wind Energy. That's funny, I'd like to see the franchise go with Barons and then have a little cartoon T.Boone as their mascot. Preferably with a couple of six-shooters like Yosemite Sam. It's a pity that the yahoo fool got the Red Baron motif stuck in his head. Personally, I think they should be Oklahoma City Bullets so Abe Pollin and his stupid name change can so suck a big one. Wow. I doff my hat to you, that's a brilliant idea. Did Washington surrender the rights to the name when they switched, or could they return to it at will?

At least give them credit for changing the name. The "Brooklyn Dodger" became the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Minneapolis Lakers - you know, the land of 10,000 Lakes - became the Los Angeles Lakers - which is next to the %$#% ocean for crying out loud. My favorite is the New Orleans Jazz - you know, named after the JAZZ FESTIVAL and the sound that the city pioneered - keep the name as they went to Utah, a state founded by Mormons and the last place you would expect to see a team named after a form of music such as jazz.

Hilarious. If they are going to go with minor league baseball type stuff without the 's,' why not the Stampede or something at least cowboy / western related. The Energy? First think I thought of was Houston and Enron for some reason.

Apparently Corel Draw v 5.0 has finally hit the shelves in Oklahoma.

They shoulda been the Bison (one of the other names they applied for). Could have some sick logo too or at least something you can see

And the colors include BLUE AND ORANGE? Why would you ever do that to Jeff.

I heard that the jerseys were going to be bright orange and a shiver went down my spine. However, I just looked them up and they are blue.

This sucks--and the color scheme reminds me of the Charlotte Bobcats.

Apparently Corel Draw v 5.0 has finally hit the shelves in Oklahoma. Yeah there's no denying that the generic city got a generic logo and team name. I only hope that they change it soon.
