The new Atlanta franchise finally has a name.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, owner Ron Terwilliger confirmed the new name late Tuesday evening.

“It seems to me it’s a really consistent name with Atlanta and its history,” Terwilliger said.

Atlanta City Council president Lisa Borders, an adviser to the team, agreed.

“The name fits Atlanta so well — from the time of Mayor [William] Hartsfield when we were deciding to be a transportation hub, all the way forward to the Olympics being held here, with Martin Luther King in the middle with the civil rights movement,” Borders said.

According to the same article, the official announcement will come on Wednesday, along with a logo and color scheme, which is said to be a combination of red, white and blue.
