Exactly this! Think about how FIRST lists teams on the official event pages on their website: by their official school/sponsor names (like so: link --click on a regional, then what teams are attending --sorry I'm on my phone, so it's not linking directly!). Use that name when recruiting sponsors and it should definitely help.

Just wondering though: have you had any pushback from any (potential) sponsors about the name?
