Silverbacks

The Savannah Silverbacks are an NSL soccer club based in Savannah, Georgia. The club was founded in 2015 and plays its home games at Pleasantdale Field.

History
The Silverbacks were founded in 2015 as a hybrid club. As the NSL 2nd Tier was about to begin, a 10th club was still needed. Millard Fosstentraitor allowed the franchise to choose one substitute or reserve player from every NSL club, giving them 19 players to begin with. The rest of the roster spots were filled by tryouts.

Colours and badge
The Silverbacks wear black home jerseys, light and dark gray patterned away jerseys, and purple alternate jerseys.

The Silverbacks crest consists of a gorilla with the word "Silverbacks" above it.

Stadium
Pleasantdale Field has a capacity of 32,000.

Rivalries
The Silverbacks share rivalries with their NSC South counterparts, the Atlanta Conductors and the Georgia Kung Fu Captains. They are one of just two divisions in the NSL that contain all three of its teams within the same state, the other being the ASC North in New York.
