UPDATE July 2010: see more recent post
Today @NASLofficial went live on Twitter. Their profile image includes nine team logo’s and a tenth “ATLANTA 2011″ but without the Silverbacks logo. I know many people have wondered if the Silverbacks would comeback but so far things look like they’re still moving forward after the the NASL’s first annual general meeting. Well maybe I shouldn’t say Silverbacks. Could another re-branding be in-store for Atlanta’s division 2 team?
UPDATE: The NASL site has now updated the words Atlanta with the Silverbacks logo while the “2011″ date still remains.
One interesting thing is that in addition to the 6 teams on the 2010 NASL conference playing in the USSF Division 2 that three of the six USL teams are also included. Rochester, Minnesota, and Tampa Bay are the three teams that will play in the USL conference this upcoming season. However those three have also been associated with the TOA/NASL prior the the USSF ultimatum a few weeks ago.
The NASL stated their new website would go live Friday, 1/15/10. As of the time this was posted it still not live.
UPDATE: NASL.com is now live. At the time of this update it was showing the above image and the words “coming soon”.
Nice! This is great news.
Silverbacks logo is on there now…but still says 2011. Wonder when the Silverbacks web site will change the lead story to stop getting people hyped about 2010 soccer in the ATL.
