Let's be real, Best-GAF.

"Thunder" >>>>>> "Pelicans."

I don't know that I can agree.

 

[Fox318]

The Pelicans logo kills it for me. It makes it look like a PeeWee team, they need to make it more aggressive, like a killer pelican or something.

Last time somebody said make a more aggressive logo we got this:

 

[Knux-Future]

Turner hits 3 now.

there is a god.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Thunder is a fucking stupid, Xtreme 90s can of Surge type of name. OKC shoudl have gone with the Owls. Yeah Pelicans is goofy, but I much prefer that to team names that try too hard to be edgy or intimidating.

 

[Dominican Power]

I don't know that I can agree.

Thunder sounds a thousand times better than Pelicans.

 

[Branduil]

The actual jersey design for the Pelicans is nice but probably too similar to the Nuggets. I don't mind the Crescents name, but the whole Mardi Gras motif is too tired and obvious. Would like to see something cleaner and sleeker like the Pelicans one but using the Purple/Green colors.

It's not like being similar to other uniforms has stopped anyone before. See the Bobcats' new Dallas ripoffs.

 

[KingGondo]

I don't know that I can agree.

Just give the "Jazz" nickname back to New Orleans and this will end peacefully.

 

[giri]

Uni's aren't too bad.

Better than what they're currenlty wearing.

 

[Adam Blade]

Let's be real, Best-GAF.

"Thunder" >>>>>> "Pelicans."

That's like saying dying from cancer is better than dying from AIDS.

 

[DY_nasty]

GAF made the best OKC design anyways

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Who didn't? http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-t...lotte-hornets-starter-jackets-an-appreciation

Oh, wow, a My Brother and Me reference.

 

[KingJ2002]

LMAO! the pelicans!


LMAOMOMALMAMSINISDNONLKNDF!

[Blackace]

Wow ABA flashbacks here

 

[Mothman91]

Thunder is the worst nickname in professional sports.

OKC Robber Barons 4 lyfe.

CR, miss those days.

Thunder is the worst nickname in professional sports.

Why, we agree.

 

[KingGondo]

The Barons live on

[Red Blaster]

Logo's not bad, kind of reminds me of the old Milwaukee Bucks

xtreme logos/names are terrible

 

[Puddles]

ANNND NOWWWWWW, YOUR NEW ORLEANNNNNNNNNSSSSSSS ... PELICANNNNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSS!!!!!

I'm so sorry New Orleans...

There should be some bird droppings on that wooden post the pelican is standing on.

Back when the move happened to OKC, I read a suggested name of Barons, as in Oil Barons, with some mock up jerseys. Seemed pretty good to me.

 

[Branduil]

Just give the "Jazz" nickname back to New Orleans and this will end peacefully.

Jazz nickname with those uniform designs would be great.

 

[JoeFu]

Not gonna lie, I like the pelican logo...

just not in a basketball setting.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I would even preferred OKC Owls to Thunder.

Hahahahah nah

I think he was referring to this.

 

[Adam Blade]

Blunder have the worst uniforms in the league too.

 

[CB3]

OMG the Pelicans.

Fucking amazing.

 

[Blackace]

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Wow ABA flashbacks here

Where are the New Orleans Buccaneers fans at?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Blunder have the worst uniforms in the league too.

Whoever OKC hired to design their uniforms woke up hung over the day they were due and made them on NBA 2k5

 

[Red Blaster]

Thunder logo is also garbage

basketball shield with some random lines in the back

 

[Fox318]

Just give the "Jazz" nickname back to New Orleans and this will end peacefully.

Then what would a team in Utah be called?

The Salts?
The Smiths?
The Fighting Mormans?

 

[Branduil]

The Thunder just add insult to injury by having community college-level uniform design.

Whoever OKC hired to design their uniforms woke up hung over the day they were due and made them on NBA 2k5

LOL. "Okay, type in Thunder. Uh, needs something more. Let's try the orange trim. Oh, it's six. That looks good, let's call it a day."

 

[Jake Tower]

I would even preferred OKC Owls to Thunder.

I dunno about Owls, but Thunder is definitely a WNBA name, and then the jerseys were revealed with the stolen Knicks colors. smh

 

[Blackace]

lol

 

[Jeff-DSA]

If the Jazz ever changed names, they'd definitely go with one of these:

- Blizzard
- Bears
- Bees
- Battlestar Galactica

 

[Tom Penny]

Anyone like my new Galoshes? Oh wait they are the new Jordans :/

 

[Smokey]

The Utah Salt would be one of the best nicknames in basketball.

 

[Red Blaster]

I very much enjoy how this has morphed into a Thunder name/logo bashing session

also there needs to be a team in Boise so we can have the Idaho Potatoes

 

[Fox318]

Jordan is getting older and fatter. Velcro shoes should be next.

The worst is OKC's road uniforms. I hate how they just try to squeeze "Oklahoma City" onto the front of a jersey. It's so rec league.

Would it be so bad to put "OK City" instead? I don't think people would be confused about where you're from.

 

[JoeFu]

I checked the local community collage's jersey and... I think I like it more than the Thunders.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Oakland has a basketball team?

 

[KingGondo]

All this salt and envy toward my beloved FThunder is affirmation we're doing something right.

U all mad.

 

[KingKong]

Minnesota could be a solid playoff team with Rubio, its too bad theres so many strong teams in the West

 

[Puddles]

I improved that logo.

 

[Mothman91]

If there was any way to be up, it's gettin to the line.
