Speculate away! What should the name be? What colors should the team wear? Post your ideas, mockups, etc.
Primary colors: Red and Dark Yellow. Secondary colors: Green and Black. Colors taken from the LA flag with addition of black. Primary colors: Dark Green & Black Secondary colors: Silver Primary colors: Green & Red Secondary colors: Black and white Names: Los Angeles Bandits/Banditos. Los Angeles S.C. (ROGUE NATION, unofficial. And no I don't care if there is a beer with the name.) Los Angeles Toros.(yeah I am aware Toros use to be Miami and they became the FTL Strikers at one time) Los Angeles Rogues.(even though I deep down inside really would love to see the Memphis Rogues return to pro soccer, but highly doubt it) Los Angeles Sharks/Predators. (No, teams in different sports, leagues, having the same names should not matter, unless its a team from the same city and the other team has a problem with it). Thats all I can think of at the moment. STAY AWAY FROM: RED & BLACK COMBO. ATLUTD is red, black & gold. DC United is black and red. San Antonio's are basically the same as ATLUTD, and so are a few others who could get in down the road.. We do not need half the league wearing red,black,gold.
I like the idea of red and a dark yellow or more of a gold. I was thinking main the color from Arsenal's new away jerseys would be nice. Something that's distinct enough from the Galaxy's yellow and from the Crew yellow. Replace the blue in Arsenal's jersey with red and you've got a somewhat unique color scheme. Here's a quick photoshop to show my idea:
I am counting on Mia Hamm having a stronger voice than Tan. Actually, Penn, Nguyen and Guber will have the loudest voices. So expect any mix of LA Dodgers, McDonalds or Nguyen's Asian teams to have more of influence.
Guber also owns part of the Golden State Warriors. So maybe they'll use blue, yellow, and white! I'm kidding, of course. Though the Warriors apparently wore this for one game: There's some pewter(ish) color like C-Rob wanted. Plus red and yellow as have been frequently suggested.
Just Google the City of LA Flag. Meets some of the requirements. Red , Yellow and Green. Red for "Mr Tan" , Yellow is the sunny LA weather and Green is our perfect grass soccer field. No clue how to add the flag- maybe some else can.
I've seen one of the design crest the club is considering. All I can tell you is the club will be LAFC aka Los Angeles Football Club. If you hate the name sorry.

Not feeling any of these, but somehow I feel like some of them will end up being better that the real one chosen. Edit: There are elements in many that I like. For example, the badge by Darth Vader seems kind of cool, although the graphic of the bird is a little indistinct. I still kind of wish the colors had been black and silver, but it appears not to be.
So, ATLUTD will be Red,Gold,Black, and LAFC may still go with those colors? Good grief Charlie Brown. Lets hope San Antonio Doesnt ever get in. Talk about overkill. And I hate the idea of any team using a color that is not one of their primary colors. Above LAFC farmers insurance blue one. Red,Green,Yellow. LA colors. Unique.
Name: LA Coyote or Los Angeles Coyote Colors: Grey/Dark Green/Black Crest: Skyline with a coyote in it somewhere. I don't know, I am not a graphic designer. All I know is, ******** your bears. Sacramento has that shit locked up.
Wolves or Dire Wolves would be better. Maybe, keep the LAFC identity and just use Wolves or Dire Wolves as a nickname.
