Durant may have to wear an Oklahoma jersey

Well I think as far as the merchandise goes, throw back is in style, so just buy a Seattle Supersonics jersey while you can.  You will forever be able to tell people that it is a throw back once they are in Oklahoma.  

Also, I would be curious to know what you guys here at the BON would call the basketball team from Oklahoma, they will need a new name.

Just imagine what it will be like for people who will be sitting in the crowd during home games.  They will be rooting for an ex-Horn.

I've never had a problem with any pro team because of the state they reside in.  I root for local teams, but follow other teams because of certain players.  For example, Durant with Seattle or Vince with Tennessee.  I will always consider the Titans as the old Oilers.  In that respect, they will always be one of my favorite NFL teams (unless they trade VY of course).

On another note, I highly doubt that team would be in Oklahoma very long if it were to happen.  I'm surprised the league office is even considering giving the approval to move a team to that hellhole.

Hell, if the Texans can pull it off...

The team is not for sale but the owner wants to move the franchise and retain ownership.  He said he's willing to leave the Sonics name and records in Seattle.  That would basically allow another group to resurrect the Sonics a la the Cleveland Browns.  An OKC-based NBA team would seem like a new team.  Just like all the movement in the NHL (Phx Coyotes).

To answer the question I rarely wear profession sports teams' gear.  I stick the Longhorn gear, especially at my gym, in Ohio.

I just hope the OKC NBA doesn't wear crimson.

and would love to be able to see KD play all the time.  It isnt so much the state that is so bad.. IT'S OU!!! The Sonics (or whatever new name they come up with) will be a hell of a lot closer to watch play than up in Seattle.  As far as a new name.. How 'bout "we are building our franchise around a Texas Longhorn!!"

If KD and his teammates start getting paid to play a sport in Oklahoma, all of the Sooner players are inevitably going to demand raises.

Also, while I like the name "No Sox", it might be more fitting for the team to be called the "OKC No Teeth" instead...

The state has a built-in trailer hitch, people!  18th century surveyors clearly had a sense of humor similar to ours.  Either that or the shape of the state drew a certain type of person there.  It's a conundrum.  The Chicken or the Redneck Hillbilly?  I guess we'll never know.
