besides being about tv ad revenue, the name change was also about recognition in foreign markets. people oversees were not likely to know about anaheim, but they sure knew about los angeles.

Like this. Why doesn't the Angels feature their city on their away jersey?!

You have some hate for LA, I get it, okay cool bro.
What do you want them to be called? California Angels? Anaheim Angels? Orange County Angels? Katella Avenue Angels?
Go google any news source and they're referred to as "Los Angeles Angels" by most media sources (example http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/17797876/garrett-richards-los-angeles-angels-sees-progress-healing-elbow). Anaheim is still part of the greater LA area and market even if it's not specifically in LA County. I think the Angels should stick with the current name, logo, uniforms cause that's how they've presented themselves for the last 10 years and it's cool to keep it going, just like how the Yankees, Red Sox, and Dodgers have generally had the same logo, name, design over their history. You go through all this effort to change your name and try to reach the LA market...and then have it undone? What a waste.
You say it has nothing to do with today, but I argue it does because the Angels still represent the LA market in the American League. It is relevant.

Yes.

I'm hoping that the "of Anaheim" is being removed from the team's name.

I'd really like if they added "Los Angeles" to their away jersey. We're like one of the handful of teams that don't have a city on our away jersey

I became an Angels fan when I was in 6th grade. It was the 2000-2001 season. It was the last season the Angels wore the hideous Disney jerseys and right before they won their first World Series.
 
I still remember watching the local news the following year on what a big deal it was for the Angels to beat the Yankees in the ALDS.
 

 
Teammate: High five pal! Herp derp derp
Tim: We look like such idiots in these uniforms...FML

I'd actually like it if they didn't use the same Angels letter font. It looks classy the way it is, though they should change the color to red instead of navy blue. If you look at the SF Giants away jersey, they don't replicate the GIANTS font for SAN FRANCISCO. I think they have a pretty nice home and away set.

That jersey has THE ANGELS written on it.

These would be great on the road.
 

The Angels should get some road Los Angeles uniforms when they travel to the ravine. Just because.

I'm from the 909 area. I'm from enough from both LA and OC and I think the LA name is great. I can't wait until the "of Anaheim" is dropped. I think the real issue here is snobby OC residents who think they are above LA and are their own independent entity. You have to realize that Orange County is part of the Greater Los Angeles Area in the same way that San Jose, San Ramon, Pleasanton, Oakland and Santa Clara are all part of the greater San Francisco Bay Area.
 
Los Angeles Angels sounds so much cooler and big time than Anaheim Angels or Orange County Angels. Get over it butthurt OC fans.

I think it'll b dropped whenever the new stadium lease is renegotiated

Trout will strike out. What a fitting ending.
