But what about 1114? On our scouting team, we know every team by their number, not name (except PINK). We were pretty ticked when we couldn't get 254 as our FTC number, and 1114 actually named themselves Team 339: 1114 Simbotics.

I think people just know teams by their names if their names are exotic (Exploding Bacon, Pink, Cheesy Poofs). Hardly anybody knows 968's name though (RAWC - Robotics Alliance of West Covina).
