Blackjack76 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 http://www.nba.com/dleague/fortwayne/That's actually not bad. I also see that Rio Grande Valley's name is the Vipers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Woah...that is a GREAT logo.EDIT: Just noticed that if I'd like to go to a game, I better hurry.

mfoster Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 This just in, the D-League will go to a 4-on-4 game... allowing the Mad Ants to go down the court marching 2-by-2... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leopard88 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 OMFG... not Towers... not Giants... not something big that implies strength in the sport... but just the opposite.Were Mad Dwarves and Angry Midgets taken?I'm not that fond of the name either, but there is actually some logic behind it. The name is a tribute (to use the term loosely) to General "Mad Anthony" Wayne, for whom Fort Wayne is named. You would think "Generals" would get the job done, but apparently not.IIRC, this came up in a thread a while back, however I don't have the patience to look for it.

hrivnak Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 You went a LONG way for a bad joke. Anyway... stupid (if original) name, awesome logo. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 The name is ridiculous, though I remember the ownership attaching some tenuous historical significance to it. The logo, though, looks flippin' fantastic. Evocative of something you'd see in a fallout shelter. And that fits in perfectly with the '50s sci-fi/monster movie wordmark.Well played, Mad Ants. Also, thank you for not pluralizing with a "Z."

AJM Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 About as bad as the Atlanta Krunk of the CBA. Colors aren't bad...of the other proposed names I would have gone with Fire and used the same colors.
