Kansas State Wildcats (18-4)
Home-court branding matters in college hoops (just ask Tom Izzo), and K-State is faced with the question of how much it wants to officially embrace the rapidly spreading nickname for rowdy Bramlage Coliseum: "The Octagon of Doom." What started as a message-board phenomenon and a series of unofficial tees is now being mentioned on ESPN, mainstream newspapers and even Mixed Martial Arts Web sites. Wildcats coach Frank Martin seems cool with it, telling the Kansas City Star, "It's a great thing. ... That's what's special about college athletics. It makes it fun and gives your team a shtick that players take and kind of bond with along with the fans."
Why not take it a step further, then, and brand the court with something similar to the tees? Everyone's done the giant half-court team logo by now, including Kansas, so why not scrap the Wildcat and set Bramlage apart with a center-court Octagon of Doom that every potential recruit will instantly recognize on TV? Take this mock-up and get working for next season ...

:love:
Holy crap.

:users:
What are we waiting for?

I admit to fantasizing about OOD written on the court somewhere after watching New Mexico with "The Pit" printed on the base lines, but.....
:love:
Holy crap.
this.

Take out the Kansas State part. We won't need it for people to know who we are.

I'm not sure if you went to the link or not, but this is not mine. This excellent mock up is available for viewing on SI.com

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - Luke Winn is good people. He understands what's happening...

Nice. He should've asked me to do the mock up though.
And state trademark paper work has been sibmitted. Working on Fed TM and copyright. And drafting letters.
-
this ----> :doom: at center court would probably be the coolest damn thing I could have ever seen. and if you're _Fan, what more out of life could you possibly ask for if that happened?
-
:drugfeet: <---- _FAN

You should do one and send it to him. He'd probably replace it...

sd is right, but never did I image OOD blowing up like this. Never.
Thanks ChiCat.

I can't even begin to imagine how awesome "DOOM" all over our court would be.
-
i wonder if _fan is still clinging to the ridiculous notion that ood branding was not the culminating accomplishment of his life. :dunno:
-
this is cool too

Christ people, cross your arms when you do the basketball only :bball:

i seriously doubt that many people in that shot don't like football

Let's just replace the Powercat with the Doom sign. I can mention it to Jeff Morris, K-State's new VP for Communications and Marketing, to see what he thinks. It may be time for a new brand for K-State.

This is a nice looking bracket for us as well http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/andy_glockner/02/01/bracket.watch/index.html

:doom: is the :bball: of K-State branding.
Don't want to taint :doom: with :combofan: (or worse :lynchmob:).

Yeah, football doesn't deserve :doom:

True, but neither did basketball when Octagon of Doom was created. Maybe the Doom can bring back football success too.

Not sure on the font of --> :doom:
Looks kind of "old west"ery...almost reminds me of the old font on KU jerserys :barf:
try something else, Trajen perhaps?

Bullsh1t. We had GRCOAT when D00M was created. It doesn't get better than that.

Saturday's great game in Manhattan validated both Kansas schools while questions about Texas' recent play continue to grow.

Can't wait till KCnut finds out everyone left. I'm sure he'll be all :runaway:. Then compare the entire situation to some Green Lantern comic.

if goEMAW were ever lucky enough to get catsfan0304, he'd immediately vault into the top ten of posters in this place.
