Re: team spirit?

Depends on what qualifies as team spirit... I entered the thread expecting a lot of talk about what people wear/having mascot.

The social spirit part isn't quite my thing.... I'd much rather be watching what's going on around me than be shouting like crazy (though it's fun at times). And no, watching != scouting . On the other hand, my team this year is full of a LOT of crazy people. Certainly crazy enough to name the robot Mango (changed to Mongo...), for they outnumber us sane folk They also choose completely random colors for tshirts this year...

As for items and whatnot, I can think of several things that I've seen:
-Mascot
-Flag
-Beach balls in the audience
-Banners
-Apparel other than shirts

My team has a flag and headbands with our team logo printed on it. A mascot would be sweet (a samurai), but our duct tape man isn't too bad (cape, trench coat, spazziness, etc.). I've got to make a gazillion more of the headbands this week (vacation week). I do bemoan the fact that colors are inconsistent... The flag is purple (school color)... so are the bumpers... and somehow, everyone voted the shirts to be silver on blue

(purple flag, white headbands, blue/silver tshirts... eww?)
