Team Culture

Announce
edit
emblem of the Young Pioneers
From the pattern and style, the Thunder team logo obviously follows the route of "simplicity", but it feels like the team logo of the Cavaliers or the Bobcats. In addition, the idea of triangle background with OKC characters is too conventional [23]
A shield pattern is called "Thunder" when it passes through two lightning like patterns. Seeing this icon, it can't give people the speed and momentum that thunder and lightning bring, and naturally it can't give people any sense of echo with the team name. Color of team logo: The intersection of orange and blue leads to the color conflict of the cold and warm systems. Instead of being shocking, it is flashy and impractical, more similar to the team logo of the WNBA, and too manly [24]
emblem of the Young Pioneers
mascot
Name: Rumble the Bison
The Bison is the largest mammal in North America and the largest bison species in the world. It is very large and fast. Oklahoma is originally related to the cattle. Here, there is the famous Wichita Mountain Wildlife Reserve, the largest cattle reserve in the United States, where about 600 cattle live.
Liu Niu became the mascot of the Thunder Team in the middle of February 2009, but soon became the popular mascot of the Thunder Team with his distinctive rough and wild image. In addition to playing on the field, he also participated in many community activities on behalf of Thunder and won praise from local citizens and the media [25]
mascot
Jersey
The team chose blue, red and orange as the representative colors of the team, because blue comes from the color of Oklahoma state flag, while red and orange represent the color of sunset.
