Our team name, ShockWave, is very loosely related to our schools mascot, the Crimson Tide. Our logo is rather different visually from the Tide Guy (attached below) or the G that most of our school uses, but our color scheme is similar besides the fact that we have yellow, a brighter red, and we use a lot more black. Another logo idea that our team considered was a red-filled version of the Tide Guy, clutching a lightning bolt, and an alternative idea for our name was the Crimson Capacitors, both of which are much closer to our schools mascot.

I missed this discussion rookie year, but personally am glad that we went with something as different from our school mascot and imagery as we did- even though our school mascot is already pretty unique. It has helped to make our team highly recognizable within our school, and the vast majority of the feedback has been positive.
