Bleujayone Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Unless there's a nuclear power plant in Fort Wayne, "Fusion" is probably not a good choice for a name. Then again weren't these people trying to push for an indoor football team named the "Safari" too?I honestly think we're about two or three expansion team names away from someone naming their franchise: ManBearPig.Or maybe: The Turduckens We all have our little faults. Mine's in California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_ThenNowForever Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Not to be vulgar, but it looks like human sperm going into an egg.And it fits the name too.

Lightningfan Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I like the helmet logo and the font of name and helmet logo. That is all I can give. The bloodshot eye sucks.What is the mascot name? Squint?I submitted "Meltdown" for cheerleader name, however did not hear back from them.Their choices where atomites reaction and a third I can not recall.

KCScout76 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Ok - Fort Wayne usually has good logos to go with their teams - I agree this 'blows monkey chunks' - it's now worse than the Toledo Storms (hockey) logo - at least the new logo is better.Is there a graphic artist in the house???  Kansas City Scouts (CHL) Orr Cup Champions 2010, 2019, 2021     St. Joseph Pony Express (ULL)  2023 Champions   Kansas City Cattle (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squint?I submitted "Meltdown" for cheerleader name, however did not hear back from them.Their choices where atomites reaction and a third I can not recall.Disappointing name. Disappointing logo. Both attempts aren't good. We had the Freedom. We had a great logo. The first attempt was from someone who scribbled it on a napkin at Hooter's over probably several pitchers of beer. The second logo is too happy. The font is all wrong for football. It looks like a font for a marquee at a movie theatre. Football logos need fonts with action. The logo itself is descent, but not for football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
