Terminus Legion an officially recognized supporters' group for Major League Soccer's Atlanta United.[1][2][3]
History and Name[edit]
Terminus Legion[4] is a supporter group that was created in March 2011 by graphic designer Matt Stigall. Matt wanted a way to show that Atlanta fans would support soccer despite the perception of the city as a "lazy sports town". The group was named after the name given to Atlanta when it was first settled, and its logo featuring a cow catcher and railroad ties reflect the city's history as a locomotive hub. In the days since the expansion team was awarded, its membership doubled to over 500, and in the time leading up to 2017, Stigall said the group would support "all Atlanta soccer" including the Atlanta Silverbacks of the NASL and at the grassroots level, and make road trips to rival Orlando City matches.[5]
Terminus Legion was incorporated as a non-profit in Feb of 2014 in advance of Atlanta being announced as an MLS expansion city.[6]
Terminus Legion "exists to champion and support Atlanta soccer and the communities in which it is played."[7]
