it sounds a bit insensitive but oklahoma hurricanes sounds cool also...

...

this might be insensitive, but do any of you know that oklahoma is landlocked? they don't have hurricanes or typhoons. they do have tornados and twisters.

Intersting topic. OK has never had pro-basketball, so going back to old NBA or ABA names is out.

All the obvious Native American names are out.

I hope they dont go the route of the Charlotte Bob(Johnson)cats.

Riders or something of the like would be cool.

I have always advocated that New Orleans switch from the Hornets to the Jazz, the Jazz to the Grizzlies and the Grizzlies to the Sound.

New Orleans Jazz
Utah Grizzlies
Memphis Sound

Both Sooners and Cowboys are great, but the U's stole 'em. ;)

The OK state mammal is the Bison. That could be cool.

The state insect is the Honey Bee. Oklahoma City Swarm anyone?

The Bobcats is the dumbest name in the league. They should have went with one of the other finalists'

Another favorite on the list was the Charlotte Flight. When asked about the sources of local pride, interview participants often mentioned the Charlotte Douglas International Airport. "Flight" also had relevance because, as North Carolina license plates already boast, the state was "The First in Flight," thanks to Orville and Wilbur Wright's achievement in Kitty Hawk, N.C., 100 years ago. North Carolina is also home to some of the nation's largest military bases, which -- according to a recent report -- will contribute more than $18 billion annually to the state's economy. The nickname's relevance to the state made it one of the three finalists.

The 'Flight' would have been 1000x better then the 'Bobcats'. Bad bball name even without the ego trip aspect for the owner.

Have to agree with those who think the Charlotte Flight would have been much better. It's a great nickname and more fitting for NC in my opinion. As for Oklahoma, I like something along the lines of Tornadoes or Storm more than Bison.

The perfect name would be a throw off of the college Oklahoma Sooners.....the new name would also play off the fact that they left Seattle.....so, the new name "The Oklahoma Laterz".....see ya Later Seattle

I imagine something like this. Loosely based on a sphincter.
