What!?! Our colors too!!!

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-oklahomacity&prov=ap&type=lgns

Team chairman Clay Bennett said the team colors will be blue, red and orange — blue to coincide to with the main color of Oklahoma’s state flag and red and orange to reflect the colors of the sunset.

First they still our mascot's name for their team name.  Now they are stilling our colors(two of them atleast)!  What kind of bull crap is that.  I know the NBA doesn't seem to like the Warriors that much, but this is just wiping our faces in it. I'm wondering why the Warriors' FO isn't saying much about this.  Our we looking it change our colors and mascot soon?

LMAO….That’s too funny!

eh hem...

Psion… they stole my fucking team from Seattle. I think that’s a bit worst than ripping off the Warriors colors (kind of) and the Piston mid-90 like logo.

Yes, definitely. Thunder isn’t even our team name, just an irrelevant mascot.

I pray i never have to use a gun again...

...unless i'm at a strip club parking lot...

...But how often does that happen??

ESPN is saying orange-red in fact. What’s up with this?

The Oklahoma City Thunder will wear blue, orange-red and yellow colors

by Psion on Sep 4, 2008 10:34 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

That's to "prevent conflict" between OU and OSU fans....

During the ceremony, Clay Bennett said, “Not too red and not too orange.” Oklahoma is coloured red, and Oklahoma State is coloured orange.

That's part of it

But I think more Oklahomans are concerned with Orange being Texas’ color than OK State’s.

by dprodigy19 on Sep 5, 2008 7:14 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

No.

Living in Oklahoma and listening to the local news, I can assure you that it was an OU-OSU thing. They wanted to appeal to both fanbases.

I was at the unveiling

And I totally ripped the logo on the local news! I said it was the Warriors mascot and the Warriors colours, but they cut that part out.

Zorgon...

Gutsy for wearing the Sonic gear in OKC. Though it be more gutsy of you to flight to Seattle with Thunder gear to snap a photo in front of Key Arena.

I might visit Washington someday (I have relatives there) and if I do, I’ll be sure to do that. LOL.

Perhaps it’s time for the Warriors to revert back to the more dignified blue and yellow jerseys.

by so ill so d0pe on Sep 4, 2008 2:48 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

the nuggets, pacers, and grizz all use blue and yellow.

just variations of blue. I’m down to do whatever with the jersey’s. I think we need new ones though. I’d be down to keep the orange, but we’d have use it less. Mostly Blue and Gold, with just a hint of orange. The real question is, would we have gold or orange third jerseys? Or would we have Gold(mustard yellow, whatever it is) home jerseys?
