I heard firebirds was a popular choice, but Phoenix won the fan vote for their name. Thoughts? I think it can grow on me, and it fits in with Atlanta's obsession with bird nicknames.
Atlanta was burned to the ground by Union General William Sherman in the Civil War.It's funny. Usually when you name something "Phoenix" it's because of the symbolism - rising from the ashes of something that went before and failed. I'm not aware of this club having any continuity from a previous team, though - correct me if I'm wrong. Guess this one just goes down as "rule of cool"?
