Oklahoma City Reveals NBA Franchise to Be Named Thunder

Oklahoma City revealed that their newly-moved NBA franchise will be called the Thunder on Wednesday.

The former Seattle SuperSonics will now be called the Oklahoma City Thunder after weeks of speculation. The team from Seattle a few months ago, but their new name was not determined until this week.

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

Several NBA websites leaked the name when they showed their teams playing the "Thunder" on their respective team schedules.

Thunder topped the list of options, which included Marshalls, Energy, Wind, Barons and Bison.

The team three-letter abbreviation will become OKC. They return 2007-08 NBA Rookie of the Year Kevin Durant and First Team All-Rookie Jeff Green.
