What Should I Call My Atlanta Franchise?

The Game · 10-11-2012, 12:44 PM

Can't decide what I want to call my team in Atlanta for a new league.
Peaches, Rebels, Braves or something else. Any ideas?
Please post a logo and uniform home, road and alt if you can or link them.

Crackers, of course.

Lots of uniforms and logos out there for the old minor league team.

Or the old Negro League team, Black Crackers, if you want a chuckle.

Varsity

Tekneek · 10-11-2012, 02:40 PM

Atlanta Colts and Atlanta Firecrackers have been used before...

Go with the big V though. Atlanta Varsity. Find some way to get the stadium placed on North Avenue.

I like the Atlanta Varsity (Greasiest burgers anywhere).

Typically, I go with Generals whenever I start a custom league. Rebels and Peaches sound so cliché. Outside of that, any time I think of Atlanta, I think of how hot it is, and how bad the traffic is, and how big of A-bombs the cops are; lends itself to names like Heat, Swelter, Pigs, Patrol, or Jammers

On a related note, I usually create a minor league affiliate for them, the Macon Bacon.

Here are a few ideas...

-Creeks or Cherokees (Inhabited the area prior to the arrival of European settlers.)
-Engineers or Steamers (Atlanta originated as a railroad town.)
-Continentals (Atlanta straddles the Eastern Continental Divide.)
-Dogwoods (Native tree. Atlanta has a reputation as the "city in a forest" due to an abundance of trees.)
-Creepers (Another reference to trees.)
-Verdures (Same. Means greenery)
-Colas (Soft-drink born in Atlanta.)

Call them the Atlanta Georgias?

Cooleyvol · 10-11-2012, 08:27 PM

Easy..................Crackers.

Honorable_Pawn · 10-11-2012, 08:32 PM

What about the 75 20's?

The Game · 10-11-2012, 08:35 PM

So many choices. I know a few people perhaps Gern & Vimage have made Flames jerseys. Atlanta Coke sounds good. anyone feel like making an Atlanta Coke home road alt jersey/cap and logo?

Or the Black Cracker Braves, and offend almost everyone except the Mexicans.

Bowtie · 10-12-2012, 02:14 AM

How about the Atlanta Blues? Or the now-defunct American soccer team Atlanta Chiefs? Or Atlanta Thrashers? Atlanta Flames? Atlanta Harlequins? Atlanta Silverbacks?

And make the fans wear white hoods making a tomahawk chop on a black doll.

There is defintely a cap/uni/logo for the Atlanta Flames (they are in my league) and it's in an NHL set. I think it's Gern's set but I'm not 100% anymore.
