In March 2017 the Philadelphia Atoms were given a second life when the newer squad was admitted into the ASL. The Atoms played for the first time in forty-years on April 1, 2017 versus Mass United FC.[3] They currently play at Jean Lenox Stadium on the campus of Arcadia University. The club's colors are blue, white and black.
