Yes, there's two Los Angeles teams, and yes, a lot of them really like blue and orange.

Links contain further links to the team's social media pages where they have roster announcements.

They've done well handling the naming like proper sports team. Much easier for fans coming into it. Wish all Leagues did this

The outlaws and spitfire logos are good, none of the others really stick out though

I appreciate the color palettes showing on mobile and not the rest lol
Ah, I wonder if that's because I bothered rehosting the logos/uniforms on Imgur and then decided to post the colors as well and just got lazy and linked directly from Blizzard's site.

Am I being dumb or is there only one team with blue and orange?
I just worded it funny, I noted that there were multiple teams with orange as a prominent color and like four whole teams with blue as their primary color.

I haven't been following any of this, but interested to see how well this does.

I have never found FPS's and especially Overwatch particularly fun to watch, but maybe I will give it a shot.

I don't understand, are the players in each team living in the associated City? Seems very USA dominant.

Going by the World Cup stuff, they'll all have "away" variants that are mostly white, so the three blue teams here won't be too confusing.

Have we got an Overwatch esports OT yet? Sounds like they are really ramping it up over the next few days, might be good to have.

Actual team names with actual themes and logos go a long way to make casual fans more interested in the Esport

Not that it usually matters though, I still have my TSM jersey somewhere...

Dallas Fuel is probably the best name but best skin goes to Boston tbh

These are really cringe-worthy and remind me of early-days MLS. Not in a good way.

Every character is going to have team colors in game as well as a team UI and sfx.

Though, they are vastly superior to Dallas in terms of logo, because first of all-- using guns to make the skull, creative, and second of all...how the hell do you claim to be from Texas and yet have no lone star anywhere? For shame Dallas, for shame.

So the cities each team are aligned to is absolutely meaningless? I mean the London team is Cloud 9 which probably doesn't even have a player that has stepped foot in the UK.

Of course New York gets the worst name and logo :/. Best character though. Go Team Lucio!

It's a GIJoe first person shooter, what subdued normie ass names should they have?

eSports/pro gaming team names instead of that forced 'City [thing]' shit they're doing

Shanghai Dragons? Seoul Dynasty? come on man

at the same time this is a Blizzard-related joint so it's par for the course for them to do something this corny

Dynasty by itself is already better than whatever your favorite flabby NFL team is tbh.

Seoul Dynasty is pretty pretty pretty good.

Now out of those two LA teams, who will be the Lakers and the Clippers?

Gotta say, not a fan of them doing this. Much prefer the silly and crazy names that you find in the DOTA2 esports scene. Always disliked the naming conventions used in American sports.
