Meaning and history
1995 — 2002
The team’s original name was ‘Mobile Mysticks’, and during this period they used a special emblem. It looked like a big purple letter ‘M’, made from two hockey sticks with yellow outlines. In the center and behind the character, they’ve drawn a fabulous green dragon, clutching onto a hockey puck.
2003 — 2015
The name “Gladiators” submitted during the contest “Name the Team” in 2003 was recognized as the best one. As a result of the renaming, the new logo was the image of a gladiator in gold and garnet. The gladiator is wearing a typical gladiator outfit including a gladiator helmet with face armor. In his right hand he is holding a sword and in his left hand there is a shield.
The stylized wordmark “Gladiators Gwinnett” goes across the bottom. The white with gold fringing “Gladiators” and the gold “Gwinnett” are against a black background.
Such a logo added more energy to the team’s identity.
