Re: How do you recognize teams?
I usually recognize teams either by their name or number, but I often have issues putting the two together unless it's a team I hear of/see regularly (i.e. HOT/67, Killer Bees/33, Juggernauts/1). If I don't know both, I can usually at least remember the general location. 343 is from NY, Los Pollos Locos is from SC and sponsored by USC and their number is some combination of 2, 8, 5, and 1.
Then there's the occasional team whose sponsors I can remember, but not many (Finney Highlanders, Motorola/Wildstang, GM/Simbots/a variety of others).
For most teams above 3000, I usually recognize the logo first before I can remember their name and actual number.
I usually introduce myself by former team number, then I give the team name. I don't know why I do that, since people usually remember my former team's name before the number, but that's how it goes.
TL;DR, it varies greatly and there are a lot of exceptions.
