Looking for a tartan that matches 3 teams colors.

I think you should consider 16 oz. if you are purchasing a 5 yd. kilt. Given that Atlanta can get on the warm side, a 5 yd. would suit you well and can still be worn during the hotter months. In my opinion, the heavier weighted cloth makes a big difference in how the kilt wears.

I have a 13 oz. 8 yd. kilt which Rocky made for me and I love it, but honestly I wear my 5 yd. and casual kilts more frequently.

Cost can also be a factor.

The default answer is "more yardage, heavier weight" but there are trade-offs. For a 4 yard box-pleat, 16 ounce is almost required, I think a 5 yard would work well with 13 or 16 ounce.

If I recall correctly, the American Heritage comes in 13 oz. A 5 yard would be nice, and an 8 yard would be killer! but you'd probably get more use from a 5 yard.
I have worn an 8 yard, 13 oz in August---recall that I'm at the same latitude and considerably less elevation than Atlanta. I wouldn't want to wear it outside all day, but going to church or out to lunch is fine.

I would pick a kilt that was mostly red, white, and or black and leave the blue to the jerseys. Sometimes even blues don't work together.

Maybe Ramsay Red
