Really, any combination of "Resurgens FC," etc. would be better than any of these:



Sorry, those all sound too gimmicky and not nearly as grand. "Atlanta Depot"? Like a play on "Home Depot"??

i think it might be neat if, instead of creating an arbitrary mascot, they just announce the team colours and call the team Atlanta FC, and over time the fans will come up with their own chants and legends and whatnot.

Personally, I don't think the FC is gimmicky, but if so, it's not needed.
And I don't agree that the name HAS TO have "Atlanta" in it, but I can understand your thought behind it.

But that's why I made this thread! To get the minds together & let's not allow "Atlanta Phoenix" to happen!!!

I like the name "Resurgens Atlanta" MOST OF ALL!!!! WHAT A GREAT, CLASSY NAME!!!! Screw the FC!!!

I say let's go with Resurgens Atlanta!!!
Let's get the word out!!!

Is there an official website we can go to submit team name ideas?

Anyone know how I can change the thread name from "Resurgens FC" to "Resurgens Atlanta?"
Or can you just not change the thread name once you've submitted it?

I don't think there is yet, but I am trying to find out myself. I am also trying to find out how to contact the "support group" called Terminus Legion, to engage them in this.

There simply isn't a better name than Resurgens. And we can still have the phoenix as our mascot.

Doesn't seem like you spent much time trying to find them, those are the first two links that come up when you type Terminus Legion into Google.


In regards to the name, Resurgens isn't bad but if I was picking I prefer something related to Terminus myself.

I brought it up to some family this weekend and all but 1 loved the Resurgens name. I will be disappointed if they go with something else at this point.

It's like a doctor going out of his way to sign everything with "M.D." at the end of it.
Actually the Braves are correctly known as the Atlanta Braves National League Baseball Club and the Falcons are the Atlanta Falcons Football Club.

I don't think it's at all pretentious to add FC or SC after the soccer team, since they will be new in town and you don't want people confusing them with a bunch of orthopaedic surgeons.
