Re: Team Shirts

Our team wears team t-shirts every day. In past years, we have had 3 different shirts - one maroon, one navy, and one black (our team colors) - but other teams found that a bit confusing.

This year, we decided to use a gray base and print our logo and our sponsors navy, maroon, and black. We have our sponsors on our backs every day (they enable us to participate in FIRST, and we believe they deserve the recognition). We also put our team number in binary on the bottoms of our shirts, just for fun

This year the Saturday of the Utah Regional falls on St. Patrick's Day, and in commemoration of that, we've decided wear shirts with a green logo partially made with shamrocks. I can post pictures later.

On a side note, in 2010, our school's multimedia teacher made our shirts in illustrator and accidentally left out one zero in our binary number xD Instead of 2993 (101110110001), we were 1497 (10111011001)

For this year, our team forwent t-shirts in favor of jerseys (Because it's a basketball themed game). It came as a surprise to us how, at Greater Kansas City, we were the only team there to have went for the game jersey design. However, this is not our defining feature. For Metal Mustang Robotics, the defining feature of our team is the silver cowboy hats we require our team to wear.

tl;dr: Maintain a color scheme year to year, and if possible, add accessories to your "uniform" that is destinct to your team.
I should point out that there is an exception if a team member volunteers.

Well, yes, this is true. But for point of analogy, the volunteers have their own destinct uniform of Blue/Green/Red polo, or game t-shirt and hat, or ref shirt that makes them destinctly part of the "team" they're affiliated with.

Re: Team Shirts

On our team its known throughout our team that you can wear whatever team shirt you have on Thursday(polo or pre-polo team shirt) but Firday and Saturday are all business so you have to wear the team polo. And you can usually also distinguish our drive team from the rest of the team because they wear orange dickies.

Re: Team Shirts

On 1038, we wear a black team shirt on Thursday and blue and purple tie dyes on Friday and Saturday - the silk screens are identical on both versions. All traveling students and mentors get 3 shirts, the mentors and students unable to travel get 1 tie dye. On my rookie teams, we are wearing the jcpenny supplied shirts on Thursday and our team shirts Friday and Saturday... again, each member gets 3 shirts.

Re: Team Shirts

Tonight's discussion in the team meeting in preparation for Bayou:

Bertucci:

"How many people ordered/have the team tee shirt?"

Show of hands.

"Bring them."

"How many people have the tie-dyed tee shirt?"

Show of hands.

"Bring them."

"How many people have the polo shirts?"

Show of hands.

"Bring them."

"How many people have the Hawaiian-style shirts?"

Show of hands.

"Bring them."

"Bring extras if you have them. We'll share."

Student: "Jane - for retro Thursday, can I wear a jacket with purple patches?"

Jane: "Yes, just nothing with spikes in the pit area."

I think we're covered.

Re: Team Shirts

I voted for all three days, but we have 2 different shirts. We have Polo's that we wear practice day, and then we have Jersey's we wear Friday and Saturday.

I will try and find some pictures to post of both versions. Also the team members must pay for their own shirts, and they do get expensive. Since they are not just normal T-Shirts. However we look great in our Bright Orange jersey's!

Re: Team Shirts

In the past on 781, we got two shirts per year. Thursday you could wear a previous year's shirt, and Friday and Saturday were the current year's shirt. We had the same shirt design (except for different sponsors) for my Grade 10-12 years, so after a while most everyone wore the green shirts every day of the event.

Edit: Last year when we went to champs we ordered everyone an additional shirt.

Re: Team Shirts

On MARS the current year's t-shirt design is worn on Thursdays and Fridays and there are no restrictions on pants. On Saturday everyone is required to wear black pants, a white dress shirt, and a standard bright red tie (tucked safely into the shirt while in the pits ). Red fedoras and red/white knee-high socks are pretty standard but are not required. All in all it gives the team a very distinctive and professional/memorable "look."

Re: Team Shirts

We do 3 new shirts every year, each a different color and design, with the same list of mentors, sponsors, and such on the back.

We're pretty identifiable no matter what shirts we wear though.

Re: Team Shirts

We do throwbacks on Thursday because we don't want to have everyone stressing over the uniform on day 1. It can be the T-Shirt we make available for purchase, or a previous shirt we don't use anymore. This year, we dumped jerseys after a 1-year stint and are going to new polos for Friday and Saturday. We design them to be buttoned over another shirt so we don't get unmentionable odors on Saturday. Those are sponsor-supplied.

Re: Team Shirts

Here at team 88 each year all of our student get 3 team shirts. (One for each day). Our standard home the dye, with our logo screened on.

Over 4 years each student accumulates quite a few shirts.

Re: Team Shirts

On 176, we host the Week 0 event Suffield Shakedown Scrimmage, for which we have shirts made every year. After scrimmage, these shirts become our Thursday shirts at competitions. They're not our team colors, and they don't prominently display our logo. Students also have the option of wearing throwback shirts or current team shirts.

On Friday and Saturday, students wear current year team shirts, and mentors wear current year polo shirts.

In previous years, we've had issues with students being unrecognizable because they wear team hoodies instead of shirts. Our shirts are either royal blue or bright red (depending on the year) and the hoodies are dark blue (almost black). This year we're enforcing a rule that students must take off their hoodies inside the venue so we are easy to spot.
