Atlanta Sports

I love sports and Atlanta sports in particular having lived in/around this great city my whole life. Being born in 1993, I often think of the 1990s as the Golden decade for Atlanta Sports. That stems from hosting the greatest international sporting event, the Olympics, in 1996. The Braves were the team of the decade and the city flocked to cheer them on. Dominique Wilkins was a Hawk and brought prominence to Atlanta basketball. The Atlanta Thrashers began in 1999 although the franchise was short lived in the NHL, we had hockey before and the Atlanta Knights won the Turner Cup in the International Hockey League. Not to be forgotten, the Atlanta Falcons made the Super Bowl in 1998-99.

All in all I feel like the 1990s were an accomplished decade for Atlanta sports given the fact that we only have two championships as a city(Braves 1995, Atlanta United 2018).

What do y’all think?

Another hobby of mine is collecting jersey, what do y’all think is the jersey that defines Atlanta? Personally, I think it is the 1990s Dirty Bird all Black Atlanta Falcons Jersey and more recently Atlanta United “Five Stripes” home kit.

In another venture, I would like to concept an All ATL Jersey that includes the history of the sports franchises and the city. If anyone could help me out in the graphic design department I would greatly appreciate it!!
