Oklahoma City Thunder

OKLAHOMA CITY -- The registrar for all of the NBA's Internet domain names reserved okcthunderbasketball.com on July 10, according to information gleaned from whois.net.

CSC Corporate Domains describes itself as a domain name management company for corporations, law firms and intellectual property professionals. It is the registrar of record for nba.com and all other domains managed by NBA Media Ventures, LLC.

Over the course of the past two weeks, KOCO.com and SportsXtra have worked together to research what's called whois information on more than 200 domain names, with the focus primarily on possible nicknames such as Barons, Outlaws and Thunder. Most domain names and variations of them had been registered well before the settlement between the city of Seattle and the former Seattle Supersonics of the NBA.

Most of these domain names had been registered by individuals, many of whom work as domain-name squatters, people who register domain names in quantity for the purpose of selling them.

In case you dont understand, the company that registers the NBA domain names registered a new site called okcthunderbasketball.com
I also saw this on ESPNEWS bottom line
Rumors point to gold/black colors

It's grown on me too. But I would've voted for Thunder for the OKC.

Decen't.

 

[tribeTILLiDIE]

Yeah, that new name is reallll straight. Quite intimidating. What is this, the WNBA?

 

[gingerbreadmann]

The colors will most likely be sky blue, red, with a little bit of gold. Take that how you want. Definitely unconfirmed though.
(and I find it comical that you all fell for the "Barons" thread, lol.)

 

[gingerbreadmann]

Thunder it is!

 

[bulls12]

[A.E]

There is an http://www.nba.com/thunder link...just nothing is on the page yet. It's gotta be legit b/c when you mouseover OKC on the NBA schedule, that is the link that comes up in the lower left-hand corner of your browser.
