OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER

Facing the rough waves of the Sea of Japan and surrounded by fertile plains, the region is guarded to the south by the majestic "Mount Raizan"—a peak where the God of Thunder was once said to be enshrined. Just as the name "Thunder" traces its roots to the path of tornadoes, Fukuoka’s spirit is defined by an explosive vitality that thrives despite the elements. In a land shaped by the forces of nature, it is a place where next-generation talent is constantly born, fueled by a raw and unstoppable energy.

The crest features the "Kumiai-kaku"—interlocking squares evocative of lightning bolts—set against clouds drifting through a thundering sky. These motifs represent the power of unity and a strength as sudden and striking as a lightning bolt. Together, they symbolize a future where the roar of this rising talent echoes in all directions, transcending boundaries and commanding the world's attention.

日本海に面した荒波と豊かな平野に囲まれ、その南側にはかつて雷神が祀られていたとされる「雷山」が堂々とそびえ立つ。THUNDERの名前は竜巻の通り道であることに由来し、台風の影響も少なくない福岡と同様、環境に負けない爆発的な活力を持った若手の才能が誕生し続けている。その紋章には、雷を彷彿させる二つの四角形を交差させた「組み合い角」が用いられ、雷鳴轟く空に浮かぶ雲が描かれている。これらは結束と落雷の如き力強さを意味し、次世代の才能が八方へと轟く未来を表現している。
