The Overwatch League’s franchising is a bit of bizarre. Supposedly a world league, the groups are overwhelmingly “based” in American cities – and I exploit scare quotes there as a result of actually all of the groups reside and compete in Los Angeles through the season and none draw from native gamers.
But that hasn’t stopped followers from wanting their cities to be represented, and a few proficient artists are creating ideas that they’d prefer to see. Potential groups want three issues: a handy guide a rough identify, a killer color scheme, and a recognisable brand.
Take, for example, the Toronto Tundra, pictured above. Canada doesn’t but have a League presence, although with six new groups rumoured for Season Two, they could quickly. The Tundra can be a superb decide: they’ve obtained a handy guide a rough, punny identify; clear however related brand; and Ana seems nice in cardinal.
I believe my favorite of Jp3ilson’s creations is the Las Vegas Wild Cards (under), fully due to the superb identify and the truth that McCree is the right match for his or her mascot. Changing his buckle belt is a neat element; simply the form of factor that makes these fan interpretations shine in the identical manner Blizzard’s official groups do.
But Jp3ilson isn’t the one artist making these, and Reddit person Growtth compiled some of the best into an album, although some are extra severe than others. Like the true League, they lean North American, however the São Paulo Rush, thought up by Twitter person caio_cromos can be firmly on my want record. In actuality, they might most likely have to vary their colors to keep away from ruffling the Seoul Dynasty’s feathers, however Brazil undoubtedly deserves a workforce, and I’m simply actually into that font.
The League lately introduced two real new additions to their line up, Atlanta and Guangzhou. Whether their designs will reside as much as the usual set by these fan artists stays to be seen.
