I think he means that the Thunder took all the records, banners, the history of the Sonics with them when they moved didn't they? Not that it really matters I guess,would still love to see the Sonics get another go round

yeah, thats fair enough. didnt really think of that. was more from the point of view of the peeps of seattle. they wont mind the difference i dont think. plus i think the records are still under the name of 'seattle supersonics' arent they? eg. no-one thinks of the 20-64 season as the OC thunder's 'record' season? bit of a shame for the thunder fans tho. they were starting to make a real name for themselves...
I was a Sonics fan as a kid, I'm still struggling to adopt Thunder as the team I'm supposed to go for. I do remember reading an article last year about the government in Seattle giving the green light for a stadium to be built, to try and create a home for a Sonics franchise. I'll try look for it.
I personally think the Thunder have totally distanced themselves from the Seattle Sonics now. I mean they're in a different city and have a different name and a totally different brand of ball with only a couple of holdovers that played a year or two with the Sonics.
It would be great to have the Seattle Sonics back, has a great ring to it and they produce some amazing patches with those awesome colours.
But it would be pretty sad to see the end of the Kings.
