Ranking Primary NBA Logo's: #30 OKC Thunder

The Oklahoma City Thunder. Great young team with Kevin Durant leading the next wave of NBA Hall of Famers. Other great young players like Russell Westbrook, Jeff Green, and James Harden are transforming this once woeful, new franchise that was famously relocated from Seattle. But this logo is not good especially with a team name like the Thunder combined with what a beauty of a logo and team name they changed from, the Supersonics. The logo is actually kind of pretty with it's bright color scheme and pleasing to the eye for it's flow and energy. But the look shows nothing "Thunderous" except for the word "Thunder". When I first saw this I  naturally thought that it would be changed almost immediately since they had little time to get the franchise settled and going. We've see a lot of teams with their original design scrapped after they finally were approved for a team. But they went with it and it has stuck. Maybe as the team grows, the logo will as well. I like the Thunder and I watched them become men with a win over the Lakers the other night. But this has to go and soon. To me it feels like a WNBA logo. Not the kind of look you want to go with in the NBA.

Ways 2 Improve

Anything really. I like the Buffalo mascot. Something along those lines would be something that is not used by any current team not located in Buffalo. Or go with a storm and cloulds look. But you have to associate your team name with either the name itself or something that has to do with the area. So come on Thunder, you got the players but you need to get "The Look".
