Doesn’t this do the trick?

-- Local script
local tool = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local team = player.Team

if team then
	tool.Name = (team.Name.." keycard")
end

or

-- Normal script
local tool = script.Parent
local player = tool.Parent.Parent --tool.Parent is backpack
local team = player.Team

if team then
	tool.Name = (team.Name.." keycard")
end

Inside the keycard in a LocalScript do:

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

local teamNameLabel = -- Where your TextLabel is located

player:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Team"):Connect(function()
	teamNameLabel.Text = player.Team and player.Team.Name or "Neutral"
end)

Edit: If you want to replicate it to other players it’s a bit more complicated, you’ll need to do this in a server script instead:

local players = game:GetService("Players")

local tool = -- The keycard tool

local teamNameLabel = -- Where your TextLabel is located

tool.Equipped:Once(function()
	local player = players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(tool.Parent)

	player:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Team"):Connect(function()
		teamNameLabel.Text = player.Team and player.Team.Name or "Neutral"
	end)
end)

I tried that (The server script) but it doesnt work.
The text on the text label won’t change and I even tried it on a different empty place

#5

Can I see the script, please? I need it to see where the TextLabel is located

#6 
local players = game:GetService("Players")

local tool = script.Parent -- The keycard tool

local teamNameLabel = script.Parent.Handle.SurfaceGui.Team -- Where your TextLabel is located

tool.Equipped:Once(function()
	local player = players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(tool.Parent)

	player:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Team"):Connect(function()
		teamNameLabel.Text = player.Team and player.Team.Name or "Neutral"
	end)
end)

Your problem is you arent using a local script. Server scripts cant tell when a tool is equipped

This should fix the problem:

local players = game:GetService("Players")

local tool = script.Parent -- The keycard tool

local teamNameLabel = script.Parent.Handle.SurfaceGui.Team -- Where your TextLabel is located

tool.Equipped:Once(function()
	local player = players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(tool.Parent)

	teamNameLabel.Text = player.Team and player.Team.Name or "Neutral"

	player:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Team"):Connect(function()
		teamNameLabel.Text = player.Team and player.Team.Name or "Neutral"
	end)
end)
