WPS L.A. Team Name, Logo Revealed
The L.A. Women's Professional Soccer team will be called the Sol (the lasses of LAS!).
Check out the logo and team colors (guess we should have figured a team owned in part by the owner of the W-League Pali Blues would stick with a primarily blue - dark and light - color scheme with accents of yellow and black).
The Sol name is meant to reflect the sunny weather and heritage - "sol" is sun in Spanish and other languages - of Southern California.
Season tickets for the inaugural season that begins in April will cost $125 to $750.
Full disclosure: The official unveiling of the name, logo and colors is set for Sunday; because another reporter was leaked and published the information this afternoon, I decided to break the embargo and publish it, too.
