I don't find it odd. The order doesn't really matter, and the sponsor's name first is pretty common in this type of thing. For example the hockey rink the Panther's play in is called "The National Car Rental Center". I can think of lots of examples like this. When the announcer says "Team 108 Motorola & Dillard High School & Taravella High School The SigmaC@Ts" noone expects to see a cell phone take the feild. Personally I tihnk it would sound kind of out of place the other way around. I guess FIRST could give teams the choice of how they want it, but I'd tell them to leave Motorola in front. Just like National car Rental paid to get their name on a hockey rink, Motorola paid (in time and money) to get their spot. If anything, I would say they didnt pay for it so much as earn it. Without sponsors there would be no FIRST.
