On Velvet's team not helping her when Cardin was bullying her, we actually DO know the reason. The production staff mentioned elsewhere that the character's role was originally to show the discrimination against the Faunus and that the fan response to her appearance is what has led to her becoming a full reoccuring secondary character. So the reason her team wasn't there is simply that Monty and Co. hadn't invented them at the time. (Though they may write in an explanation for the second season since so many fans are wondering about it.)

And while I agree with the argument for the team name being ??V?, I think the fact that all the characters in the picture are a shade of BROWN is a hint from Roosterteeth that the team name will be a reference to some shade of brown. I don't think OLVE really qualifies as a brown.

I'll agree with the previous posters who speculated that the theme for this team will be childrens' stories, but I'd never even heard of "the Velveteen Rabbit" before this so I've got no clue which stories they could be using for the other three. How about BEVR (Beaver)? It's a shade of brown and it's got the ??V? element in it. And team names don't have have to be set to automatically illude to just a color (ex CRDL is both a bird and a shade of red), and it could easily allude to cartoon/book animal characters (Like the Velveteen Rabbit, Velvet's inspiration) since I'm assuming that's the vibe Team Velvet is going for.
