Hey now. I'm not the logo/promotions guy, so I could've gotten those numbers wrong. I probably did, in fact. I think .70 was for the antenna balls. But anyways, I can list a couple advantages to having someone else make your buttons.
1. Less Hassle. You don't have to co-ordinate printing, button making, etc.
2. More professional artwork. Say what you will, but I've seen some really busy and hard to read buttons at nationals.
3. Yes you CAN get gradients. One of our buttons this year is gonna be a facny multicolor one, and we don't have to pay by the color.
4. Nifty shapes. Unless my memory fails me completely, you an only hand make round buttons, while we're gonna have a triangular one.
5. Buttons come out straight. I dunno why, but I just hate crooked buttons...

Plus, I think multiple designs are overrated anyways. Sure, they increase the trading value of your buttons, but our philosophy has always been to put out a consistent image of the team. Atleast it has been after our rookie year when we were the Insomniacs, had a motto from the simpsons, a robot named the dream machine, and were giving out tiger tails... ::shudder::
