Coming from both the Seattle and Oregon Regionals, I can say that there are lots of cool ideas out there. My team has also invested in a button press which works wonders for our team, but there's lots of ideas out there. I remember that team 488 made little clip on FIRST logo earings last year that were cool. Mardi graw beads are another great one, I remember team Jack-in-the-Bot doing those (They were a Mardi graw-themed team). Team 847 is kind of construction themed, and last year they had this really neat construction yellow tape with their team name on it, that stuff was great. Another team had some glow sticks that were fun too.

Point is, there are lots of ways to go about it, and don't worry too much about it either; its a fun aspect of FIRST, but not essential. The best advice I could give would be to go and get an idea of how many people show up the first time so you are prepared for next year/competition.
