The Mad Ants debuted in the 2007-2008 season, tipping off with the official naming of the franchise in June of 2007. <\/p>\n<p>The G-League\u2019s second longest-tenured franchise, the Mad Ants will celebrate this anniversary with several unique and special activations to honor the team\u2019s history. These will include in-game presentations, social media posts, and other recognitions of the former players, unforgettable moments, and impactful people who have played a role in bringing the G-League\u2019s best fans years of memories. <\/p>\n<p>The Mad Ants also have unveiled a commemorative 15th Anniversary logo. The triangular emblem includes the team\u2019s navy blue, gold, and cool gray color scheme and will celebrate the franchise\u2019s past, present, and future.  <\/p>\n<p>Additionally, all fans will receive a complimentary 15th anniversary t-shirt courtesy of Lutheran Health Network\/OPS when the team tips off the new season on November 6 at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum. The team will wear themed jerseys for that game, which will be auctioned with proceeds benefitting Associated Churches of Fort Wayne. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Any anniversary is a special time, but to celebrate 15 years, after the Pandemic is extra special,&#8221; said Mad Ants President Tim Bawmann. &#8220;We can&#8217;t wait to re-open on November 6th, building on the foundation that was started 15 years ago with our best promotional schedule yet. Stay tuned!&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>The Fort Wayne Mad Ants made their debut on November 23, 2007, against Tulsa 66ers at the Memorial Coliseum.
