The first female majority-owned women’s soccer team now has a visual representation of what the team will stand for.
Further, the 12 feathers of the angel’s wings represent the 11 players on the field and a 12th person, which is an amalgamation of all of the team’s staff and supporters.
The light pink color of the crest, which also features black and white, is drawn from the iconic Los Angeles sunsets.
