I don't really like any of those, but I think the Thunder sounds like the most realistic NBA name.... The Wind? Are you kidding me?

Of those I'd go for Barons too. Maybe, the Bison. The Thunder sound like a frickin' WNBA name. The Wind?? That would have to qualify as possibly the worst Pro sports team name EVER.

I would go with Bison. Thunder or Wind is pretty funny. I guess the Thunderstruck song by AC/DC would be a nice theme if your name was Thunder. You look around all of sports and you dont see Bison anywhere, thats why i would choose that.

Seriously...I laughed out loud when I read that. - Barons (probably my favorite of these) - Bison (too hockeyish for me even though it's another minor league baseball team) - Energy (Sound too WNBAish) me no likey... - Marshalls (stupid...meh) - Thunder (not too bad) - Wind (absolutely ridiculous...what's the logo...a big fart bubble?) I understand not wanting to steal OSU's name (Cowboys).... They have a Drillers minor league team in OK already. I always thought of Roughnecks... |

Wind is absolutely terrible. Barons sounds good, and is my favorite as well. Bison isn't bad either. Energy is DESTINED to be a NBDL franchise. Marshalls and Thunder aren't bad, but I don't see those as NBA names.
