Thunder fans made special ‘KowarD’ shirts for Kevin Durant’s return to OKC

We tracked down the fan who made these T-shirts in July. Read our interview here.

Think there are still hard feelings in Oklahoma City regarding Kevin Durant? Yeah, you’d be right.

These “KowarD” shirts were worn by players in a 5 vs. 5 game in Oklahoma City on Saturday morning. ESPN picked up on the unique shirts, which clearly point out Kevin Durant’s initials. Oh, and they have a cupcake on the back — not that “cupcake” has been used as a derogatory term for Durant before.

Warriors vs. Thunder is going to be petty as hell. OKC fans are still mad at Durant; the Warriors will want to stick up for their guy. It’s going to be a glorious mess. Heck, it was not even noon when this was written, and Thunder fans already are getting their digs in at him.
