Might as well go with Silverbacks(merger) then, or GreyCoats. Atlanta will be in the name, whatever it is. ATLANTA UNITED SILVERBACKS( if merger happened)
So, in an interesting turn of events, by write-in, LEGION, is again the winner of the MLS name tournament. Legion- 6 Athletic- 3 Locomotive -4 So, can we get behind the team name Atlanta Legion???! I really hope so. I don't even mind adding the FC attachment to make it: Atlanta Legion FC. Guys this is best of everything. 1. It's original. And universal in all languages. 2. It's easily marketable... As the name is clean and professional 3. It signifies strength and unity without going with another "United" team name. 4. It sounds soccer-ish, and follows the American soccer style of naming: Galaxy, Crew, Union, Dynamo, Battery, Armada, Cavalry, etc... 5. It's not alienating... No name teams ONLY appeal to Europhiles. Names like Firebirds only appeal to pro-American crowd. As there is still room for other nicknames to develop, but also at least gives the name to be called. Plus, there is still room to use the Phoenix. So, Atlanta Legion retains its title.
