I think this depends on what you mean by support. I'll use my teams case as the example.

From 2001 to 2004 we really weren't associated with our school; we weren't invited to demonstrate the robot or talk about the team at pep rallies and club days (part of this was not trying extremely hard to get into them either) and many people at our school had no clue we had a team. The teams colors were yellow and black (with a little red) and was named the Radioactive Pajama Monkeys for most of this period. The school on the other hand has silver and blue colors and are the Cactus Cobras.

In 2005 the name was changed to the Cobra Commanders so that we'd fit in better at the school, and he colors used now are blue, black, and yellow. Since most of our school shirts are black with blue on them they fit in very well as school shirts, and the robotic cobra on our shirts is recognized by anyone at our school. We built a t-shirt shooter and started asking about rallies more often, and now we demonstrate at football games, club days, had the robot as part of a homecoming skit, and other such things.

However the interest in the club has only increased a slight bit and we're getting almost no more members to join than in the past. So I would say a move like this will help to get more recognition at your school, but don't expect it to bring in tons of students or school funds.
