We traditionally give out buttons, as well, with a new design each year. One year a sponsor machined key chains for us. They were aluminum anodized with black and red camo, then our team logo printed on. However, they weren't really a crowd favorite, and it would be extremely expensive to repeat without the sponsorship.

When I was still on 1432 there was a year we had a box of retractable Ethernet cables donated. We put a team sticker over the already printed logo and called it good. Everyone loved those.

For spirit gear we have had several banners printed (with sponsor logos around the edges in addition to the team name and number). Our team shirts have traditionally been red polos with the team logo embroidered on the front, this year we switched to black-with-red instead.

We have been discussing sewing a team flag this year, and also doing miniature team awards as well. Depends on how much time/funds/initiative everyone has after ship day.

My favorite give away from a different team was in 2010 at Champs, when a team in the division next to ours (don't remember who) was giving out flash drives with scouting data on them. Those were pretty sweet!
