I usually assume nothing about a team (good OR bad) until I have met most of their members and mentors. Anything else is just unfair to the team. In other words, give the team the benefit of the doubt. Of course, something like having a team hoodie on and drinking at a regional or competition would be a different type of case.

Akash,
I understand and agree with what you are saying. There were two main thoughts behind that part of my post. The first is that many people are not as judicious as you are when forming opinions. The second is that, as you stated, thoughts about a team are formed partially through a collection of thoughts about individuals.
If you are worried about a particular action reflecting poorly on a group you may be associated with, that may be a clue that you need to step back and assess whether it's something that you really want to be doing.
