Silverbacks spokesperson Neil Malone said that Reto has even launched a store at Silverbacks Park that is open 7 days a week and will feature many of the Silverbacks new line of clothing. Those designs were also revealed on Tuesday evening and included warmups, polos, t-shirts, hoodies and even a cap featuring a new ATL signature logo that represents Atlanta soccer.

Malone explained that the new line of clothing that Reto has produced has quadrupled what the team had previously.
If Tuesday night’s party holds any indications, the team expects the new product line to be very popular this year. According to Malone, sales were more than brisk as Reto and the team had to work hard to keep up to the demand as product sold quickly.
Many items from the Silverbacks’ new line of clothing is already available online at the team’s website.
