Pending litigation with the Anaheim City Council and the owner's coming to his senses, that is.

The trivia that I remember reading about this is that in the contract with city, Anaheim had a requirement not that the team be named "the Anaheim Angels" but instead that the word "Anaheim" appear somewhere in the team's name. No news about any mandated font sizes*.
The lure of the dollars from - and cachet regarding - the Los Angeles market has inspired the owner to impressive levels of stupidity. He'll probably come around one they start burning him in effigy in the OC.
*"The Los Angeles Angels*"
*of Anaheim
