Oklahoma City Tornadoes?

Prodigal Hockey, LLC has left the Oil-related genre and has jumped into two non-sensical nicknames. Pumpjacks still gets no love.
Oilfield Hockey reports that Prodigal has reserved two more domain names in their quest to name their new AHL club. Prodigal is up to ten domains and ten possible team names now that they have registered Tornadoes and Bison with the always-present "okc" prefix, of course.
The Buffalo Bison are an AAA baseball club in Buffalo, NY, and the Tornadoes name for a midwestern team seems...short-sighted.

Naming teams after natural disasters.
I’ve never understood the thinking behind it myself…

If they like tornadoes so much, they should go with the scale used to measure their intensity: The Oklahoma City Fujitas!

Dude, how many jerseys would the Oklahoma Black Death sell? One jillion at least.

That’s actually a great idea. Perhaps a giant boil could run around the stands giving away free blood-lettings.

I was on the phone with Josh Evans the other day, while putting a deposit on my season seats. And I just happen to ask him if there was a timetable on the naming. And he told me no, but they’re doing their diligence on the name. Cause they only get one shot at getting it right.

What’s next? OKC Locust Plagues?

Yeesh, these names are really pretty bad. I still like the roughnecks, personally. It’s not going to inspire fear (unless you really hate bad Sci-Fi movies) but it isn’t nrealy as corny as most of this trash.
A marketing man would name them the Cheifs, and cut a deal with the right-holders with the slap-shot movies.
