Sorry Patrick. I know it's not a pretty name. I know, I've been trying to explain the competition to random people I met when I travel around, and it never quite come out right when I start saying the full name.
But, the fact is, FIRST have been around more than 10 years, and the name itself have its own reputation. Once you change the name, people might mis-understand it as somethign else, or think that something changed the organization. Besides, all my FIRST shirts have the FIRST logo and FIRST on it, so changing it would make them worthless . I just don't have the heart to change the name and throw away what it's been building up the past decade. I know it's just a name change, but everything wonderful about FIRST is attached to it already. If I have any talent or english writing skills at all, I would write a poem or a song about the name FIRST just about... now. |
