Many in the Emerald City are still fuming over the Supersonic's departure to Oklahoma City thanks to Clay Bennett after his less-than-disguised attempt to make people think that he ever intended to keep the team in Seattle.
Paul Lukas, who write a sports uniform column on ESPN.com's Page 2, challenged readers to come up with their own designs for the yet-to-be-named Oklahoma City team. The designs ranged from ingenious and well designed to downright ugly.
Then...there were the sour grapes awards, no doubt entered by Seattleites who would love a piece of Bennett's hide. There is the Franchise Stealers, complete with prison stripes for the road uniform, and the Vultures, among others. I love the Coopers, a less-than-subtle nod to the Northwest legend who jumped out of a commerical passenger plane in the late 1970s with several thousand dollars, never to resurface. Much like the Sonics.

I think they should go for the Coopers, keep a little bit of the Northwest in the team.
