I agree on this point as well - the t-shirt is not, by any means, the only way to maintain an image. Idealy, the general color template for the tshirts should be the same from year to year, but the images on the shirt can change. For this year, our team forwent t-shirts in favor of jerseys (Because it's a basketball themed game). It came as a surprise to us how, at Greater Kansas City, we were the only team there to have went for the game jersey design. However, this is not our defining feature. For Metal Mustang Robotics, the defining feature of our team is the silver cowboy hats we
require our team to wear.
tl;dr: Maintain a color scheme year to year, and if possible, add accessories to your "uniform" that is destinct to your team.
