My question for all of you, is what kind of spirit does your team invest in? Including, but not limited to:

1) Shirts/Uniforms/Outfits
2) Headgear
3) Accessories
4) Buttons/Other Handouts
5) Pit design, from tents to banners to TV's/monitors w/ slideshows.

I'd like to know because our Spirit Committee is trying to grind out a winning combination of spirit gear this season!

Thanks, and pictures would be really appreciated!
Shirts are probably 2815's calling card the past couple of years. (It should be noted that we build on the campus of the University of South Carolina, home of the Gamecocks.)

We've had a couple of stabs at headgear over the years, but nothing that's stuck. In the stands, we added some signage to wave (the other side had 2815 on it, except the ones we gave to the WiredCats). That appears to have worked nicely, enough so that we'll print some up for 2013. The year before, one of our college students had a connection for yo-yos printed with our team number. Those were a hit at Championship.

Pit design...well, yeah. Working on that.
