I like Terminus, Resurgens, or Phoenix for the name. Good ties to Atlanta history. And Phoenix for the bird link to other ATL team mascots.

Atlanta Gridlock would be perfect if the team was going to be playing at the new Braves stadium location.

Don't worry, it was just a poll on Bizjournal.com. By no means was it official, thank GOD.

Atlanta Phoenix is just confusing. Whose team is it?

Gotta admit, it is rife with possibilities

Atlanta Old Confederacy, Dixie FC, FC Dixie - No chance. No references to the confederacy.

Atlanta Blanks, Atlanta Flight - I like these. Sort of a double entendre.


Atlanta Georgians - There's the Houston Texans so why not?

Ball Kickers - Winner!

Atlanta Rails, Atlanta Locomotive, Locomotive Atlanta- Eh, sure.

I like Atlanta Phoenix. I don't think anyone will confuse it with Phoenix, AZ, mathman. Most folks know the city name comes first and the team name second.
