Atlanta’s professional women’s volleyball team as a part of the Pro Volleyball Federation will be the Atlanta Vibe.
The team will play home games at Gas South Arena, the centerpiece of Gwinnett County’s Gas South District. The Duluth venue will seat over 10,000 in the setup for Atlanta Vibe matches.
The announcement was made last week in front of fans, VIPs, business and civic leaders at the Atlantic Station in Midtown, Atlanta. Fourteen of the team’s players, the full coaching staff, leadership team and staff were in attendance. Team owner Colleen Craig, PVF CEO Jen Spicher, CEO of the Gwinnett Chamber Nick Masino, Association of Volleyball Professionals CEO Al Lau, along with host Kele Eveland, all spoke to the crowd as the team’s official welcome to the city.
Also attending were celebrity investors Olympians Edwin Moses and “King of the Beach” Sinjin Smith.
This is a new indoor volleyball league that will begin play in January.
“We wanted a name that reflects our city,” Craig said. “In order to accomplish that, a city-wide naming contest was conducted, returning well over 1,000 submissions with one that stood out to us the most — the Atlanta Vibe.”
The logo design is Atlanta. The A is pointed to represent the capital of the South. The V is for vibe, designed to be cool and contemporary, as it runs right through “The A” with intertwined branches that resemble the interconnected highways and communities throughout the city.
