Oklahoma City uni watch

The creative Uni Watch Web site, which appears on ESPN’s Page 2, just finished up their contest for designing a uniform for the new Oklahoma City basketball team. It seems that readers were very creative in designing a new look for the recently relocated Seattle Sonics.

My personal favorite design did not win Uni Watch’s overall design contest, but it did finish first in the ‘Best Tornadic Design’ division. This design had to be the most creative overall, using country music star Toby Keith as the logo.

Not everyone used a computer to create their designs, such as this entry – or this one.

The funniest design division were those entries that let their thoughts be known on the relocation of the team, like this one.

Not a bad overall contest and I always love looking at as many entries as possible. Yes, even the bad ones.

S.O.S. – Sonics outta Seattle

The Seattle Supersonics are no more. The organization has announced that the team will be moving to Oklahoma City. It’s really a shame. I hate to hear about teams that have moved cities, especially when you hear stories from diehard fans. Many fans tried to save the team, however, it did not work and now Seattle is without an NBA franchise for the first time in 41 years.

There are enough memories for Sonics fans to hold onto – like that one championship, remembering when Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton were dominant, and getting a glimpse of a future star in Kevin Durant.

Here’s to the Seattle basketball fan. Let your voice be heard one last time.
