Atlanta Baseball Rebranding Idea

There are 2 identifiable problems associated with Atlanta Baseball. The first is their racist and bigoted history, which ownership has identified and is beginning to rectify. The second is the perceived issue of their inability to win. I think I have some ideas that could help solve both of these issues at once.

First, this is all assuming the baseball team remains in Atlanta, there is obviously a ton of speculation that the team may be leaving for Montreal, this doesn't account for that though.

This idea all starts with their impending team name change, they can't continue to hurt people, kudos to ownership for realizing that.

I believe the team will be best suited by changing their name to the Atlanta Freemans. This is powerful and carries weight for a number of reasons.

The first is it pays homage to how they have wronged, but also is inclusive and honoring of all peoples.

The second is it pays homage to their MVP through the past few years and moving forward. Freddy Freeman did his best to lift this team on his back, but they were just too heavy and would not come along. Any rebuild is centered around their cornerstone of Freddy Freeman though.

Finally, the term Freeman symbolizes the Braves entirely, freedom; wow, think about that for a moment. To be free, to not follow the footsteps of others, but to blaze your own trail. Atlanta baseball is not constrained to the ideas of winning, success, or entertainment. They choose to play the game their own way, and that's powerful and their name should be equally as powerful.

This step could help to solidify Atlanta having a baseball team for decades to come.
