A Legendary Summer Returns to Rome

THE STORY OF SUMMER LEGENDS

There are summers you remember, and then there are summers that define you. In 1996, Georgia did not just host the world. Georgia owned the world. The 1996 Summer Olympics were not just an event in Atlanta. They were a statewide moment, a generational memory, a cultural reset.

This July and August, the Rome Emperors become the Summer Legends, a tribute to the summer when Georgia stood at the center of the global stage. Our Summer Legends uniforms are inspired by the iconic Olympic color palette and typography that defined that unforgettable summer in Atlanta, reimagined on the field right here in Rome. From July 17 through August 7, we will take the field as the Summer Legends as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the moment that brought the world to our home state.

But this is not just nostalgia. It is about honoring the spirit of competition, unity, and pride that made the summer of 1996 legendary and bringing that same energy back to the ballpark for a new generation of fans. And now you can wear the legend. The full Summer Legends merchandise collection is available online at https://emperors.milbstore.com/ and in-store at the Emperors Clubhouse Store. Thirty years later, the flame still burns bright. Welcome to A Legendary Summer.
