ATLANTA — Atlanta's second act for hosting the MLB All-Star Game is taking another step forward, with the team revealing the game logo on Monday.
The 2025 MLB All-Star Game will be played at Truist Park, four years after it was supposed to be played in Atlanta.
It was moved that year following changes to state election laws, enacted in the wake of the contentious 2020 process in the Peach State, that were deemed too divisive at the time by Major League Baseball.
The Braves have previously hosted the All-Star game in 1972 and 2000.
Now with the 2024 All-Star Game wrapping up last week in Arlington, Texas, eyes once again turn to Atlanta as things begin to take shape for next year's festivities.
The logo for the 95th Midsummer Classic was unveiled at Truist Park before a game against the Cincinnati Reds. The logo celebrates the Braves and The Battery, including highlights of local architecture and a custom, Braves-inspired typography, according to an MLB press release.
Below is a look at the logo.
“We are excited to be ‘on the clock’ as we prepare to host the Midsummer Classic next summer,” Atlanta Braves President & CEO Derek Schiller said in the release. “This is an opportunity to showcase the culture and community that makes Braves Country special as we welcome millions of baseball fans to Atlanta. Once they visit, fans will understand how Truist Park and The Battery have become the paragon of sports and entertainment. We look forward to making this the best MLB All-Star Game yet.”
The All-Star Game will be the headline attraction of a series of All-Star Week events at Truist, including the All-Star Futures Game and the T-Mobile Home Run Derby.
“The annual unveiling of the logo for the Midsummer Classic signals the start of a year-long celebration, culminating with an exciting All-Star Week at Truist Park, The Battery Atlanta and throughout Atlanta’s communities," Commissioner of Baseball Robert D. Manfred, Jr. said in the release. "We are delighted to work together with the Braves to provide a memorable experience for our fans.”
