Tonight, January 15, 2020, is the last night that fans of the Overwatch League can purchase these now vintage in game skins. Starting tomorrow, they’ll be replaced with new skins that show off the brand new colors of a handful of teams.
🚨 Calling all collectors 🚨
These @FLMayhem, @LAValiant, & @SFShock skins will officially be retired from the in-game store tonight!

With the offseason came a lot of new announcements. Among these announcements were new color schemes and branding for teams like the Florida Mayhem, the LA Valiant, and the San Francisco Shock. The Florida Mayhem have since ditched their sunshine yellow and red combination. Instead, they’ve fully transitioned to their very successful Miami Vice color scheme, first introduced in their Third Kit jerseys.
The LA Valiant have also left their green behind, choosing a more traditional SoCal theme with a light blue and softer yellow. The Shock have taken to the dark side, making black their main color instead of orange. Yellow and orange undertones still apply, but the reigning champs are looking sleek in their finely tuned colors.
As per usual, these skins cost in game currency. Overwatch League tokens can either be bought through the Blizzard client, or accumulated by watching Overwatch League games on Twitch. If any coins remain after a late splurge, using them to get a now vintage Overwatch League skin is definitely the right call. Make sure the client is updated, and happy spending.
