Fan with sign at last Sonics home game before move to Oklahoma, April 13, 2008
Order an ImageThe Seattle SuperSonics (commonly known as the Sonics) were a National Basketball Association (NBA) team based in Seattle, that played from 1967 until 2008. The Sonics competed in the league's Western Conference Pacific and Northwest divisions and won the NBA Championship in 1979. In 2008, the team's new ownership relocated to Oklahoma City, where they play as the Oklahoma City Thunder.
This photo was taken at the final home game before the team moved to Oklahoma City, which the Sonics won 99-95 over the Dallas Mavericks. Among the crowd in the bleachers is a fan wearing a "Save Our Sonics" shirt and holding a protest sign reading "Hey Clay No Way." The fan's sign comments on Sonics owner Clay Bennett's decision to move the team despite strong resistance in Seattle. Save Our Sonics was a community group that campaigned to keep the team in Seattle.
