Team Buttons/Pins

[pyroslev]

One thing you gotta remember is a great design for the button. I get buttons from every team possible but unique ones go up on a banner in my home. Be it the style of the button or some student hand drew a design on the button or just something epic, make sure your button stands out.

And a side bar as to why I keep a team button around, if you ever have a DVD drive on a computer that's being problematic, you have yourself a pin that you can use to open up said drive.

This year we made 500 team logo buttons, and about 200-300 each of a few different "specialty" buttons. Our buttons are assembled by the Special Needs students at our school. We used 5 different designs, including "Where's the Sharpie?" and our famous(?) "Honey Badger" button. At Orlando, the specialty buttons disappeared quickly (by Friday AM), and we had requests for them well into Saturday. At Palmetto, we scaled back to 2 specialty buttons and asked for donations for them to raise money for The American Red Cross. Happy to say we raised over $175 for this worthwhile charity.

A few years ago I priced out the cost of the buttons we make - it came to 15-25 cents per button, depending on the paper used and number of buttons blanks ordered (buying in bulk is cheaper).

And that's typically when you find out that you have absentmindedly put a button in your DVD tray which is what caused the problem to begin with.
