OKLAHOMA CITY -- The NBA has filed for trademark rights to six nicknames for the league's new Oklahoma City franchise: Barons, Bison, Energy, Marshalls, Thunder and Wind.

An attorney for the league made the filing Monday with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

Marshal is usually spelled with one l. It's not clear why the league used a variant spelling.




fricking grammar nazis

I don't have a problem with Bison. Though that would be a lot of "B" animal teams. Bobcats, Bulls, Bucks, Bison.

If they become the wind, every opposing team should play the Captain Planet intro...

WIND

Around the 30 second mark. Editors could have fun with that one.

Imagine the headlines- "Celtics break Wind, 110-95".
Seriously, now!

Since Oklahoma, used to be called the Indian Territory, I say OKC Casino Owners would be both PC and appropriate.

Marshals is the best.

The only good ones I can think of are already taken...Warriors and Chiefs.

Twisters and Tornado type of shite = dumb.
