If you think that cost might be a factor, you could just research the available ribbon patterns from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard and ROTC programs. I assume there would be a huge variety to choose from and they could be bought from companies that already supply the military. Get the CD community to agree on which ribbon matches which award. Teams could either buy the ribbons, or print up a graphic that displays their accomplishments. For the really prestigious awards, maybe a device made with the triangle-circle-square could be produced to add to the ribbon.

For example, if a particular ribbon is designated to stand for a regional chairman's award, the triangle-circle-square device would be added to that ribbon to indicate the Championship chairman's award.

Teams could could list all of the ribbons that they have earned, and individuals could list all team ribbons that were earned while on the team.
