Re: How do you say your team number?

Nineteen fifteen.

A bit obvious, perhaps, to state it that way. Convenient that the repeated "teen" serves as a mnemonic device.

The others I've been involved with:
twenty-nine thirty-two
twenty-four twenty-five (again, convenient mnemonic device)

My observation is that many teams with four digit numbers, provided that there are no zero digits, will pronounce their name as a pair of two digit numbers. (All three of the above fit that observation.)
