Via NBA OKC blog by way of BallHype , comes this possible leak posted on an OKC fan forum : a phone pic of some sort of Oklahoma City Thunder merch. The logo itself seems like a cross between the Cavs and Bobcats ... which is not so good. The typeface used for "Thunder" here is basic and clean, but that could have nothing to do with the actual logo/branding. In fact, this whole things could ...

‘OKC Thunder’ it Is —
SLAM Online
by Marcel Mutoni
At long last, the world’s worst-kept secret is out of the bag: The NBA’s newest team officially has a name, the OKC Thunder .
Now the question becomes, What the hell to do about the Warriors’ mascot, whose name was jacked by Clay Bennett and co.?
It’s official: Oklahoma City Thunder —

OKC Thunder
After weeks of guessing and some timely leaks, the Oklahoma City NBA franchise has an identity: The Thunder.
OKC just unveiled the new name and logo seconds ago, and like a lot of people said about the leaked logo, it does have a certain WNBA feel. I'm generally not a fan of names that don't [...]

According to The Lost Ogle -- which as far as we can tell is the hottest blog source for breaking news in the Oklahoma City metroplex -- you can now find official Oklahoma City Thunder gear at the NBA Store. The logo, not to mention the team name, still have not been officially unveiled by owner Clay Bennett. And on the day the NBA schedules were released last month, all of the Thunder's ...

“I certainly hope the behavior of our uncouth college basketball players in this state doesn’t rub off on the splendid young men who play NBA basketball for us here in Oklahoma City. These clean-cut lads haven’t been exposed to such conduct. Haven’t been privy to such a culture of wantonness.”

If and when the new Oklahoma City NBA franchise confirms this afternoon that they are indeed going to be called "The Thunder," they will apparently be stealing the name of the Golden State Warriors mascot.

Another summer unofficially in the books. September starts this weekend and is bringing all the telltale signs of fall. College football, kids bitching about school, and one last heatwave to crank out air conditioners for. And pretty soon we'll have some on court hoops to talk about.
Until then, another skip pass with no scores.

The Not-So-Secret NBA OKC Team Name —

If the NBA and the Oklahoma City franchise management were smart, they would start tonight's official unveiling of the relocated SuperSonics with a big plume of smoke surrounding the stage and AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" blaring from the speakers.
Then David Stern would walk up to the podium, chuckle briefly, and then finally announce to the world that the team's nickname will be ...

Sorry about that headline, gang. It was a rather pathetic attempt to link to this . I'll punch myself in the Fleetwood Macs.
