KFC might be announcing a Black Ops 4 event or streaming team soon after they tweeted a mysterious image on their gaming account.
UPDATE: KFC released another video with the names of popular CoD streamers and YouTubers, and a good look at the logo that was previously obscured. The logo says “KFC Royale” and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, a clear hint that a Blackout tournament is on the way. January 14 is seen flashing as well, another hint on the expected announcement date.

The image contains what appears to be a shield logo similar to the Call of Duty World League, with “KFC” text on the top and “Call of Duty: Black Ops” on the bottom. Here is the section of the image with the Call of Duty text.
Also visible is a still from the Black Ops 4 Blackout launch trailer, which features the Black Ops character “Woods” with a sniper rifle.
