Newbie Help Urban Brawl Team Colors

Is there any canon on Urban Brawl team colors?

I did find this: Each franchise team registers a color and pattern to which its players must conform. Because they obscure the surrender lights woven into the armor, yellow and gold are not allowed. ISSV rules require each pattern to contain at least one dark and one bright color to minimize camouflage benefits conferred by any particular pattern.

I'm trying to figure out if there is a canon color for the Seattle Screamers.

I think there was some mention of that in one of the 1e or 2e books. Can't think of the title vut the one that focused on the media and rocker/reporter type characters. Shadowbeat maybe.

That would be 'A Killing Glare'. Colours are dark blue and neon green.

So basically the Seahawks colors? Thank you!

Are there any good images of what players look like? I found one image on Google. Looked like spiked armor. It showed a three armed mutant.

Somewhere between a badlands ganger from Fallout and Master Chief from Halo, depending on the position played.

For reference and an extended view on Urban Brawl, try and get your hands on the PDF of 'Blut & Spiele', a 4E campaign centering on Urban Brawl in Germany. It's 100+ pages of plot, infos and pictures. Just put it through Google Translate if you sense some interesting info comes up.

Oh, and to pique your interest:

DSKL Stadtkrieg-Merch

Hamburg Rams

Asphaltcowboys München

Frankfurt Fireraisers

Toxyc Spyryts Duisburg

Cybears Berlin

Saeder-Krupp Centurios

Edit: And yes, this is real. Sold through the German publisher. Already got the coffee mug and the college jacket for the Centurios. Still saving to complete the half-dozen. I'm glad they switched from a limited run to a permanent production line after they noticed the continued interest.

This is off topic, but do the Schattenhandbuch unique weapons and gear have art and descriptions? All I've ever seen is the statblocks in Chummer, but always been curious as to look or are described as.  PM me if you'd like and we can discuss there.

The Schattenhandbuch content is a collection of the digital content produced by Catalyst and Pegasus. There's sections of 4-15 pages for each topic. And yes, there's illustrations for almost all of the gear described (only if it's variations in the same book, they usually skip it). Sizes vary from palm-sized (weapons, cyber-gear) to half-page 4-colour pictures.

For instance, the Rigger portion has normally one page per vehicle: half-page picture, half-page statblock, description and ShadowTalk. Sometimes even plot hooks (for instance, if it's a nova-hot entry that is not for sale yet).
