Well I was still in middle school at the time of our team's creation, but my brother was on what was formerly called the 1058 Londonderry Dragoons. It was alright, but not an amazing name. However, the following year, after having built a robot with PVC our rookie year, we did it again, this time to make a giant pirate ship (I don't remember the challenge name it was for...) out of PVC piping. We were still called the Dragoons, but halfway through the competition, someone said "you guys are like PVC Pirates". So the next match, one of the team members went up to the announcer and had him announce the team as the "PVC Pirates" and the name has stuck ever since...and of course every year we use PVC on our robot =D

We've also had the same outdated t-shirt for the past several years as well, but that'll change this year. We updated the logo, and there was a dispute about how prominent our "skull and cross pipes" logo should be, because within in the team we had the debate going of "what makes the team recognition...the logo or the number." Nonetheless, the skull-crosspipes will still be right on the front of the shirt, but now we've got a pirate ship on it too!
