Thunder fans celebrating the historic 2025 NBA Finals victory
The roar of 103,000 fans echoed through Oklahoma City as the Thunder claimed their first NBA championship since relocating from Seattle! After a heart-stopping seven-game series against the Indiana Pacers, our beloved Thunder emerged victorious with a commanding 103-91 Game 7 victory at Paycom Center. The championship drought is officially over, and Thunder Nation is ready to celebrate in style.
“This championship belongs to every Thunder fan who never stopped believing. From Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s clutch performances to Chet Holmgren’s defensive dominance, this team embodied the spirit of Oklahoma City – resilient, determined, and unstoppable.”
– Thunder Nation, 2025 NBA Champions
Whether you witnessed history at Paycom Center or cheered from your living room, the championship celebration doesn’t have to end when the confetti stops falling. With the power of DIY creativity and professional SVG design files, you can transform your home into the ultimate Thunder championship shrine. From custom banners that rival those hanging in the arena to personalized championship t-shirts that showcase your Thunder pride, these three DIY projects will help you celebrate like the champions we are.
Create Championship Banners That Command Respect
Professional-quality DIY team banners using fabric and vinyl cutting
Step-by-step banner construction with detailed measurements
Nothing says “championship celebration” like a custom banner proudly displaying the Thunder’s historic achievement. These aren’t your typical party store decorations – we’re talking about arena-quality banners that capture the magnitude of this historic moment. Using professional SVG files, you can create banners that rival those hanging in NBA arenas, complete with official championship typography, Thunder logos, and commemorative details that honor this incredible season.
Materials & Tools You’ll Need
- Heavy-duty fabric or vinyl banner material
- Thunder championship SVG files from Oladino.com
- Cricut or Silhouette cutting machine
- Heat transfer vinyl in Thunder colors
- Weeding tools and transfer tape
- Heat press or household iron
- Grommets and banner rope
- Measuring tape and cutting mat
Step-by-Step Banner Creation Process
Step 1: Design Selection & Preparation
Start by browsing the extensive collection of Oklahoma City Thunder SVG files to find the perfect championship design. Look for files that include “2025 NBA Champions,” the Thunder logo, and commemorative elements. Download your chosen design and import it into your cutting software, scaling it to fit your desired banner size (we recommend 3×5 feet for maximum impact).
Step 2: Cutting & Weeding Your Design
Load your heat transfer vinyl into your cutting machine, ensuring you’re cutting in mirror/reverse mode for proper application. Use Thunder blue (#1e40af) and championship orange (#f97316) vinyl to match the team’s official colors. After cutting, carefully weed away the excess vinyl using your weeding tools, taking extra care around intricate details like trophy elements and text.
Step 3: Heat Press Application
Pre-heat your banner material and position your weeded design using transfer tape. Apply heat according to your vinyl manufacturer’s specifications (typically 305°F for 15-20 seconds). For household irons, use the cotton setting with firm, consistent pressure. Peel the transfer tape while warm for the best adhesion.
Step 4: Finishing & Installation
Install grommets at the corners and along the top edge for hanging. Use weather-resistant banner rope if displaying outdoors. For indoor display, consider adding LED backlighting to create a professional arena effect that makes your championship banner the centerpiece of any room.
Pro Tips for Championship-Quality Results
- • Use a vinyl weeding box to organize small pieces and prevent losing details
- • Create multiple banners in different sizes for various display locations
- • Add metallic accents using gold or silver vinyl for extra championship flair
- • Consider creating a series that tells the championship story: “Road to the Finals,” “Game 7 Victory,” “Champions 2025”
Custom Championship T-Shirts: Wear Your Thunder Pride

Detailed heat transfer vinyl application process
Every championship deserves commemorative apparel, and creating your own Thunder championship t-shirts lets you design exactly what you want to wear while celebrating this historic achievement. Unlike mass-produced merchandise, your custom shirts can feature unique designs, personal touches, and premium quality that reflects your individual Thunder fandom. From classic championship text to creative designs incorporating the Game 7 score, championship date, or your favorite Thunder player quotes, the possibilities are endless.
T-Shirt Printing Essentials
- High-quality blank t-shirts (100% cotton recommended)
- Thunder championship SVG designs
- Heat transfer vinyl or printable heat transfer paper
- Cutting machine or printer
- Heat press or household iron
- Parchment paper or Teflon sheet
- Weeding tools (for vinyl method)
- Transfer tape (for multi-color designs)
Two Proven Methods for Professional Results
Method A: Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV) – Best for Solid Colors & Graphics
Design Preparation
Open your Thunder championship SVG in your cutting software. For HTV, you’ll need to mirror/flip your design before cutting. Size your design appropriately – chest designs typically work best at 9-12 inches wide. Consider creating matching designs for family members with different player numbers or quotes.
Cutting Process
Load your HTV with the colored side down on the cutting mat. Adjust your machine’s settings for the specific vinyl type you’re using. Cut slowly for intricate details, and always do a test cut on scrap material first. After cutting, weed away the excess vinyl using your weeding tools.
Application
Pre-press your t-shirt to remove moisture and wrinkles. Position your design using the transfer tape, then apply heat according to vinyl specifications (usually 305°F for 15 seconds with medium pressure). Allow to cool completely before peeling the carrier sheet.
Method B: Printable Heat Transfer – Best for Full-Color Designs & Photos
Print Preparation
For full-color Thunder championship designs, use printable heat transfer paper. Print your design using an inkjet printer on the transfer paper’s printable side. Use high-quality print settings and allow the ink to dry completely before cutting.
Cutting & Application
Cut around your design leaving a small border. Position on your pre-pressed t-shirt and cover with parchment paper. Apply heat with firm pressure for the time specified by your transfer paper manufacturer (typically 25-30 seconds at 350°F).
Championship Design Ideas: Consider creating a series of shirts celebrating different aspects of the championship run: “Road to the Finals 2025,” “Game 7 Heroes,” “Thunder Dynasty Begins,” or custom shirts featuring stats from the championship series like “SGA: Finals MVP” or “103-91: Game 7 Victory.”
