I'm really happy for soccer fans and it is great for Atlanta. I'm gonna try to make it out to the first game if the price is right and I look forward to giving this sport another shot. Excited I finally get to cheer for an Atlanta team that hasn't pissed me off.
I'm also curious as to which MLS team will be Atlanta's biggest rival.

They said it on the news yesterday when they were talking about the new stadium and the soccer team. It wasn't an exact price but they said the tickets should start at around $25

So, Arthur Blank has stated that they would allow the fans to choose the team name...
Does anyone have any good team name ideas?

(ANY SERIOUS TEAM NAMES?) So sick of hearing the same old dumb joking suggestions like "The Stankonias" or the "Footie Hoos" and the "ATLiens..." C'mon... Those CAN'T be serious suggestions. Why would we want a SOCCER team named after songs from a Rap group? What is the Outkast - Soccer connection? C'mon man...

Personally, I hope they adopt the old "Atlanta Apollos" logo... Still don't know what the heck it is, but I think it's so unique that it's pretty awesome and looks great on clothes...

Default Team name suggestions

Here are some of my team name & mascot suggestions:

(PERSONALLY, I FEEL THAT NO MATTER WHAT THE NAME, THE TEAM SHOULD ADOPT A BIRD (FIREBIRD) MASCOT WITH THE TEAM TO REPRESENT HOW THE PHOENIX REPRESENTS THE CITY OF ATLANTA)


Colors: Red, Black & Gold

Names: ATLANTA BLAZE FC
(In honor of the Paralympics)
Mascot: A phoenix/fire bird

Name: ATLANTA FLAMES FC
(In honor of the old hockey team)
Mascot: A phoenix/fire bird

Name: ATLANTA RISE FC
(In honor of Falcons & "South shall Rise again" Blah blah)
Mascot: A phoenix/fire bird "Rising from the ashes"

Name: FC APOLLO
(In honor of the former Atlanta Chiefs/Apollos)
Mascot: A phoenix/fire bird anyway

Name: REAL GEORGIA
Mascot: A phoenix/fire bird

Actually, this logo might look even better, because it actually says atl Apollo


Yup. I think I'm voting for APOLLO: Atlanta Apollo FC or FC Apollo

I actually like the sound of that name.

BUT, I still don't think it beats APOLLO FC

I am just really loving the classic Apollos logos and think we should make sure to go back to using those logos (No matter what the name ends up being). At least to honor the Apollos, and we honor the Apollos because they actually won a championship for the city (but while they were named the Chiefs. But using a name like the Chiefs for a franchise that will START its history in 2017 is just super stupid).

Terminus Legion is pretty interesting too. Apollo Terminus Legion = ATL
