Re: Team Colors

Electric Blue accented with Fire, mainly through the use of orange. The example can be seen in our logo, which is my user picture.

When our team was first founded (right after Hurricane Katrina) we went with the Mardi Gras theme of purple, green and yellow to represent our tattered city, calling ourselves the Northshore Krewe. The next year we changed our name (Nuts and Volts) and colors, taking on burgundy because one of our members was absolutely fixed upon us being burgundy. Unfortunately we later found out that Nuts and Volts was magazine and we were almost infringing on copyright. Then we finally became the Team Combustion that we are today, using electric blue. One of our most dedicated student leads (ahem, my older sister) wanted a bright color because she felt that would help us stick out.

Considering all of our changes we now advise all the rookies we help to pick a color/name/theme and stick to and embrace it as much as possible. It took us much to long to start our branding process..
