"Its an honor to represent a city so rich with history, diversity and culture. Atlanta is the cradle of the Civil Rights Movement, a place that has produced great leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., Andrew Young and John Lewis. We are proud to wear the name Atlanta United on our shirt and to be a part of this thriving city. Although weve only been here a short time, our commitment to inclusivity and rejecting hate of any kind is a fundamental part of who we are as a club.
