If "Boston Uprising" turns out like another local team owned by Robert Kraft, it should be a solid competitor.

The Overwatch League, an international electronic sports "ecosystem" managed by Blizzard Entertainment Inc., is made up of 12 teams that will compete for the first time this year. The e-sports entertainment industry is said to have more than 30 million players around the world.

Patriots owner Robert Kraft, chairman and CEO of the Kraft Group, and his son Jonathan Kraft, President of the Kraft Group, co-own the Boston Overwatch League team franchise.

On Wednesday the company unveiled the franchise's team name and logos.

According to a statement from the Kraft Group, the team name "Boston Uprising" was chosen "to represent the resilience of the region's revolutionary forefathers, whose indomitable legacy laid the foundation for the great city of Boston."

The franchise says the blue, yellow and black team colors to represent Boston's official flag. The logo is an emboldened letter "B" to represent Boston.

Team members on Boston Uprising, who will be announced later this week, will be pitted against e-sports teams in Asia, Europe and North America. The Overwatch League's preseason kicks off on Dec. 6, and the regular season will run from Jan. 10, 2018 until June, before playoffs in July.

Robert Kraft said in a statement his company is "eager to use the Boston Uprising to introduce Boston and our franchise" to e-sports viewers around the world.

"We are currently assembling a team that we anticipate will compete for championships, as Boston sports fans have come to expect from all of their professional teams," Kraft added.
