Re: Team Names, Marketing, and Funny Name Stuff

829 used to be the Mechanical Warriors (or something like that), in reference to their school mascot, the Warriors. They had a cool logo of an indian chief, half metal ala Terminator, and his hair on fire. Between 2006 and 2007, they decided to change to the Digital Goats, and bought into the new name whole-hog. They flooded their events with buttons and tshirts, made a new mascot (a silly goat-hat), and their design was goofy and memorable. They had a pretty successful 2007 season, winning at St. Louis, performing admirably at BMR and receiving the J&J GP award (and possibly Safety as well-?). The new name stuck, and they reinvented themselves as a fun team that is competitive on the field, too.
