They moved because the arena was inappropriate and the tax payers of Seattle refused (and rightly so) to fund a new one. As the SuperSonics fans didn't volunteer to pay for a new one using their own money, as they should, the owner requested a relocation.

As many others, I strongly dislike the name. Rather something more risky, assertive and representative, like Barons, Outlaws or Marshals. However, I also understand the advantages of a more neutral and politically correct name and the downside of my favourite pick (Barons).
The logo and the jerseys are just fine. Nowadays people want everything to be impactful, feisty, glamorous or sophisticated. No need for that. There's room to simplicity and cleanness. I like the classy elegance of their jerseys. The logo belongs to a 1st year team, and like many others it will slowly - with slowly being the underlined word - change over the years to reflect more properly the spirit of the franchise and its supporters. No need to hurry, lots of time ahead of them. The jerseys or the logo won't intimidate or awe anyone, but fortunately the good ol'Okies understand that simplicity is the truest expression of beauty. And it never gets old or tiring.

And the WNBA rocks. Have you been missing the playoffs? The Los Angeles @ San Antonio series was great. Emotion, good basketball, heroic individuals and the goods won in the end. Looking forward for the finals.
