Seattle and Oklahoma City will share the Sonics' franchise history

 

Published 7/6/2008 at The Seattle Times: Sports

The settlement allows Bennett to replicate and use copies of Sonics' memorabilia, including the 1979 NBA trophy, championship banners and the team's six retired jerseys. Bennett described the memorabilia as "assets," which he intends to use to market and promote the Oklahoma City team. And while he retains possession of the Sonics name, logo and colors, he agreed not to use them. (link)
