Re: Gracious Professionalism or NOT?
I don't think it is either, not arrogant and not ungracious (especially in good taste)... At IRI last summer, the HOT team was wearing tye dyes with "2009 National Champions" on them - but they were on the winning alliance at Einstien and they deserved to advertise that fact. That is a great marketing tool for award winners to use for drumming up support, I don't see it any differently than a football team advertising that they won a championship or rivalry!
