By Zac Cameron ·
The cat may have been out of the bag yesterday, but now it's official. Say hello to the Washington Justice.
After fan speculation about exactly what is going on with the Washington D.C. Overwatch League team, the organization has finally officially revealed their team name and branding. The team will go forward as the Washington Justice, with a team logo that resembles both the American flag and Captain America’s shield, a bonus for the Marvel fans in the crowd.

“Justice is a universal value and the perfect name for a franchise that we hope will inspire and unite both our Washington area community and fans around the globe,” Mark Ein, who leads the Justice’s ownership group, said in a statement. “There is no region in the world that attracts more people to serve the cause of justice in government, philanthropy, academia, military service, and the private sector than Washington.”
The reveal also coincided with some pretty nifty uniform and merchandise reveals, with the organization leveraging the local connections to announce the news on the Washington Post. Aside from the earlier announcements regarding the acquisition of former New York Excelsior player Song “Janus” Joon-hwa and former NYXL coach Kim “WizardHyeong” Hyeong-seok, the Washington Justice have yet to reveal their roster for the 2019 season. However, the team has promised to reveal the roster “over the coming week”, so hopefully fans will not have to wait too long to find out the exact nature of the team.
