Wearing Your Team Colors
When I put on my purple shirt that says LASA Robotics, I know what is expected of me. We've developed a verbal tradition that we pass down each season to the new members regarding what it means to wear the team shirt. We discuss the expectations and responsibilities that go with wearing it.

I was thinking about some of the interactions that I had at the Championship this spring and how some folks just seemed so proud of their team and the privilege of wearing their team colors/number. They glowed with pride.

Do you have any rules that go with wearing your team shirt? Are they written or verbal? Is the bar raised regarding conduct expectations when you wear your team shirt? Any stories that you'd like to share?

No special reason for this thread other than curiosity and a healthy respect for FIRST teams and the colors we wear.
