1444 was originally associated with a high school whose mascot was the Lancer. So we decided upon the "Lightning Lancers" for our team name and used the same colors (black and gold). We have since left the school, but retained the name and colors. There has been some discussion of changing both, but there is a decent amount of "brand recognition" associated with our name/colors, so it doesn't really make sense to change.
