177, 190, 987 primary team color is maroon/burgandy... and since 987's school colors are maroon and grey we actually honor the grey by wearing grey on practice day then switch to maroon for next two days. Does anyone else out there switch colors?

Re: Team Colors
 

TechnoKats colors are red and blue. We typically have different shirts for different days, some blue and some red, and occasionally grey for practice days.

Our Saturday competition "uniform" often used to be a blue polo shirt. For the past couple of years we've worn a medium blue button-down shirt. I think it makes a good impression at community events.

Every year.
Since our founding in 2010 we have had two black shirts (one off-season), one grey, and one yellow. Our T-Shirt designers find it fun to change up the color every year. No one really minds, but my favorite color is the black and gold ones from the 2010 season.

Robot theme is important too. Over time, we've built a "black with white accent" style, making use of smoked lexan and white vinyl decals. I feel like our robots are very easy to spot on the field.

Wow, for a minute I thought the picture was in black and white :o

Re: Team Colors
 

Sorry about not pointing you guys out. I was thinking "...except 987..." while writing that. I figured just about every color under the sun was in FRC, so I was trying to think of some less-common ones, understanding that somebody probably uses them.

Same here, until I saw the poof balls in the 2006 bot.

We do a very weird system. On Thursdays, we wear a shirt based on our robot's theme for the season. For instance, this year our bot was Endeavour, so we wore a yellow shirt with a red shuttle and Endeavour in red Transformers font underneath and all our sponsors in red on the back. (Some past years: last year was dark gray with a white dragon and Magic in white Aniron font; 2010 was a white shirt with red dynamite sticks; 2009 was deep red with a black ringed planet and the name Revolution in gold.) Fridays are our signature black shirts with the NASA style logo on the front and our team meatball on the back. Saturdays we wear a polo (before 2011, the meatball was embroidered on the left breast, 2011 to present we use the NASA style logo instead) which we haven't settled the style on with khakis.

Robot theme and pit theme really help tie everything together. Our white frame, gold innards, single red part, and black/gold pit helps us drive home our NASA imagery. Spectrum 3847 and LASA both integarte purple into their bots and pits, but do so in different ways that nicely coordinate. Wildstang's and MOE's clean pits with color panel accents look nice and match their robots every year. Fondly Fire....well, you can't go wrong with flames everywhere.

Another good way to go is headgear. Fondly Fire again has these wild flaming baseball hats. CRyptonite is actually sponsored by got2be, and use those products to spoke their hair to high heaven. We have a combination of blue hair and embroidered baseball hats. I've seen teams with top hats, teams with mohawks, teams with attached glowing bits and teams that wear pom poms.

At SPAM we wear our black "fun" shirts for Thursday's practice rounds. If you've ever traded shirts with a SPAMmer, you've gotten one of these.

On Friday and Saturday, we switch to our traditional blue sponsor shirts. I think we're the only team from the original UTC block to still sport the old UTC-style blue shirts. These shirts are not allowed to be traded, so anyone with one is or was part of the SPAM family.

Re: Team Colors
 

I'll admit to the fact that that when we were working on out branding 118 was a large part our inspiration. We were rookies in 2006 and our first FIRST regional was Lone Star. One our of head mentors (who, actually is NASA employee / my mother) loved y'all's polos, baseball caps, etc. and pushed for us to get some. (years later when we started branding, we did). We now do something vaguely similar with the different shirts for different days, game shirts based on that years game and standard logo shirts. That idea was also inspired by 118..

Re: Team Colors
 

We don't change shirts to match the robot or game, but we do wear different shirts each day of competition. Thursday we have the previous year's main T-shirt (orange), Friday is the current primary T-shirt (orange), and Saturday we have our Mechanic Shirts, which are blue, short-sleeve, have two pockets, and are button-down and collared. We also match our team flag to the shirts, giving the MC our orange flag on Thursday and Friday and the blue one on Saturday.

Some more info on the shirts:
The orange shirts have our Superman logo on the left breast, "68" on the right sleeve, and our big logo (The team name and truck overlaid on a Michigan outline) centered on the back, with the FIRST logo in the upper right, sponsors on the left, and our website and schools below it.

The Mechanic Shirt has one's name embroidered on the right breast, having the first name--and last initial, if needed--(students) or first initial and last name (mentors), and the team name, school names, and FIRST logo on the left breast, with "68" on the left sleeve and a blank back.

We also have a blue T-shirt, pullover sweatshirt, and zip-up sweatshirt, which are color-inverted versions of the orange T-shirt. While not officially in the team uniform, it's nice to have some team apparel to wear whenever and keep the "official" shirts clean. A lot of people wore the blue T-shirt on Wednesday in St. Louis. There was some talk (although I don't know how serious it was) of enlarging the Superman logo to cover the entire front of the blue T-shirt (i.e. S.P.A.M.) in the future.

TL;DR Version: So you're not quite alone in having multiple shirts for each day at a competition.

P.S.: On the subject of year-specific shirts, 3098's Jordan-inspired "Air Captains" shirts are cool.

Re: Team Colors
 

We used to wear yellow shirt on Thursday that were essentially the negative of our normal maroon shirts. We stopped getting the second shirt around 2006 and changed over to "Throwback Thursday" where we wear old tee-shirst from a different game, some times I wear some of the shirts I have that pre-date static team numbering to confuse people.:D

Re: Team Colors
 

We wear dark blue Polo's on Thursday's and then would wear our "Classic" Orange Jersey's on Friday and Saturday.

I believe 1114 wears black on thursday's and red on friday and saturday. But dont take my word for it.

Re: Team Colors
 

Nanu-Nanu.........well, at least I got it.

Our team has students primarily from 2 HS that are maroon/gold, and green/white. So as to not play favorites, we use the colors of the international hurricane symbol, red and black.

Re: Team Colors
 

red and black :)
