Can you think of a situation where someone reading your shirt would think "They are proud of winning award X? What a bunch of jerks!" The only ones I can think of are along the lines of "Why is my sponsor logo smaller than / obscured by award X?"
When I read the title, I was about to knee jerk reply about "against GP", but saw that people more eloquent than I already handled it. Thanks!

I'm going to have to jump on this bandwagon, hopefully it isn't full yet.
I really hate to nitpick, but "indicative" is a poor choice for a word in that sentence. Perhaps you intended "is not a guarantee of" instead? "Indicative" is loose, like suggestion: Today's weather is a pretty good indicator for tomorrow's weather, but it is by no means perfect. To Dancin, although we can not predict the future with certainty, throwing away data is counterproductive. Engineers make best-faith decisions everyday in the face of these uncertainties.
The reason I push this point is that past performance truly is a valuable indicator of future results, and more importantly, that knowledge of past performance can effect
* future results. It can help with sponsors, help freshman feel the "We Can Do It" vibe, etc.
* go-go-gadget nounform-effect!
