Team owners, city officials and fans gathered at LA's Union Station for the unveiling event. And in addition to the new team crest and colors, LAFC also announced the addition of co-owner Will Ferrell. Yes, that Will Ferrell. He joins the likes of soccer superstar Mia Hamm, Laker's legend Magic Johnson and wealthy venture capitalist Henry Nguyen.

LAFC will embark on a demolition of the LA Sports Arena in May of this year to begin building a $250-million stadium next to the LA Coliseum. They'll make their MLS debut in 2018.
