Irony at its Best
After a nasty divorce, the Seattle Supersonics (typically referred to as the "Sonics") are moving to Oklahoma City. The team name has yet to be decided, though the best suggestion I've heard to date is the Oklahoma City Outlaws - it plays not only on the Old West Cowboy theme, but it's probably a good description for those who tore the team away from Seattle.
But if the name doesn't change, it would create just that more earned media for the coney/cherry limeade/tater tots drive-in restaurant: Sonic. Which just so happens to be headquartered in Oklahoma City. Nice.

Unfortunately, Sonic won't be getting any free advertising. As part of the settlement Seattle gets to keep the name "Supersonics" for use with any future NBA franchises.
Ok, scary, I can't believe I knew that.
