When Bedford Express was first starting, we wanted something that we could tie into a lot of different themes and such. Our high school mascot (a mule) didnt work out so well for sayings our grandmas would be proud of
lol. So we started exploring other ideas. Some parents suggested a train theme because we could have lots of visible logos (the yellow dot, the railroad crossing, and our X) and we could tie it in a lot. We started with "Engineers on Track" and have since applied the "on track" thing to anything you could think of! haha. We wanted to get our community "on track" as well as our other area FLL teams on track with our team. The colors came from our school color (Red and sometimes black) and the color of a railroad crossing sign (yellow, and sometimes black) So we have the red, yellow, and black Bedford Express!
*makes arm X thing* And our train logo was drawn by an art student, we had a competition for a best design, and we got the awesome train we use today!
