College football does something similar by adding helmet stickers for players who reach certain achievements throughout their playing career.

I don't mind FIRST going all in on a theme as long as it helps people understand action on the field, as opposed to FLL style themes that have little to no affect during their matches.

I think this is a much better execution of a game theme than the teaser trailer.
I can't see how such themes help get normal people involved.
