Comments on: Forget Thunder; how OKC Sonics? http://blog.newsok.com/berrytramel/2008/05/18/forget-thunder-how-okc-sonics/ Thoughts from The Oklahoman Sports Columnist Berry Tramel | NewsOK.com Thu, 16 Feb 2012 04:42:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: jonathan grant http://blog.newsok.com/berrytramel/2008/05/18/forget-thunder-how-okc-sonics/comment-page-1/#comment-3771 jonathan grant Sun, 06 Jul 2008 01:28:12 +0000 http://blog.newsok.com/berrytramel/2008/05/18/forget-thunder-how-okc-sonics/#comment-3771 But the colors and logo stay with Seattle don't they? I thought that was part of the negotiations. I really like Lightning more than Thunder, although thunder isn't bad! I'd like an original team so it would feel exclusively Oklahoma. Otherwise I feel like we are just using someone else's team. I mean the Lakers and Jazz didn't become really known for anything until after they moved so it's different. Sonics I think already have a personality and that is Seattle's. But the colors and logo stay with Seattle don’t they? I thought that was part of the negotiations.

I know you need to tow the company line but you need to wake up and smell the Starbucks. The Sonics are not moving no matter how much you prepare for them in OKC. The effort in Seattle is on life support and OKC needs to start preparing for life after Clay. He is going to have to start worrying about his future as a businessman because he isn't going to have a future as the Sonics owner. Berry.
