It's a safe design. But it's bland and unoriginal. They could have done so much better with the name and the logo. Athletic Club Atlanta (AC Atlanta) would have been miles better. Also, they shouldn't have gone with a circle logo. It's overused in this league, there are so many other crest templates to use. Minnesota United FC has such a nice logo.
The black and red stripe behind the 'A' maybe the kit colors? If so, maybe they didnt go with AC Atlanta to avoid the similarities to AC Milan.
I hope its the kit colors. Serious lack of quality striped kits in this league.
With an AC Milan style kit of black and red stripes, it will be interesting what sponsor will go on it. Top best are: Coca Cola (MLS Sponsor), Home Depot (MLS Sponsor), and UPS. Coca-Cola in white would look dope.
This is a great template for a logo. Maybe minus the Chipotle circle in the top left. I'm terrible at photoshop. Gold background for Homegrown. Atlanta instead of Homegrown in red and black alternating. Red and black stripes.
The logo looks a lot cleaner in the MLSsoccer.com video of them announcing everything. Best screenshot I could get. The only thing nicer than that logo, is Rachel to the right.
I like the logo a lot.
I guess the issue with the name stems from the fact the club didnt ask fans directly. They sort of did focus groups and asked people what names you associate with soccer.
Would have been good if the gave the fans a few options to vote for. Looking at the logo, Atlanta Athletic( a nod to hosting the olympics??) would have worked well and theyd be nicknamed the a's.

Says it was designed by Adidas in this article which is interesting.
While Blank and Eales knew what colors they wanted — those colors also were used when the franchise was awarded — they also knew what the didn’t want included: a mascot or symbol. They said they want the fans to take ownership of those aspects of the club.

I remember reading that Minnesota may have to change their name from United to something else. And they will be unveiling a new logo for the MLS too
Nice. Simple and strong. Excited for Atlanta and happy that somebody else will be taking the "new and shiny" title from us.
Dear Sirs:
Before Minnesota enters MLS, please make sure they remove "United" from their official team name. Since the league already has two clubs using the "United" moniker, a third would be ridiculous, redundant and upset those types who measure their manhood by how authentic they are. Three teams using United would upset the balance of the Universe as we know it.
Sincerely,
--Manchester United
--Newcastle United
--West Ham United
P.S. Don't even think of calling them Minnesota City FC!!!
Sincerely,
--Leicester City
--Manchester City
--Norwich City
--Stoke City
--Swansea City

Yay. Another United in the league. Hopefully we get another Real next.
Please no...one stupid name is all I can handle.
Heh that was one of my first thoughts. If they do go with the Milan style stripes. I know there are those among the Jersey supporters who dream of Red Bull leaving one day and returning to the Metro Stars if Atlanta have the Milan kits probably bars them from having those back.
Badge makes me think Avengers abit lol.
