You bring up a good point with that! Many teams may share the same colors, but the teams who incorporate it into more places such as powdercoating the robot are the ones who are really recognized as the owners of those colors.

I think even if you pick a common combo of colors the important thing to make yourself recognizable is to incorporate it into as many places as you can.

Re: Team Colors

Since everyone is talking about patterns, I want to point ou that one of the cooler shirts I've seen belonged to team 40 (Checkmate). They had a checkerboard style red and white pattern on their shirts, and I remember it standing out pretty well.

Re: Team Colors

bright pink and bright blue. Our guy mentors love us. Can you tell?

our school colors (brown and gold) weren't going to cut it.

Usually pink/blue lighting makes it onto the robot, and people know us well for pink/blue, unicorns, and all girls. We had black tshirts this year without unicorns on them (opposed to our long streak of bright blue), and we got tons of questions about mascot/color changes. We're pretty recognizable at our regionals now I guess!
Occasionally we've had pink toolbelts and other things to add to the team image.

Yeah, were trying to, our #1094 sign we use is white cause it was a last minute thing, so we might change it to Orange with white lettering.

I spell it as Color so...

If we ever see you at a regional or (hopefully) nationals next year, maybe we can swap! I don't know for sure, but we'll probably be back to blue again next year.

P.S. Color v. Colour. Not wrong, just different.

FIRST called it Nationals right up until 2003 (or was it 2004?). Since then, they've at least tried to call it the World Championship...

As far as someone who wasn't around then mixing it up, it's rather simple. They were just around the shop with someone who was for far too long. (Or with someone who did that... Expand the chain as far as needed.)

I didnt mean to hurt any feelings. I feel bad about mixing it up- I'm really aware it's international. I mean we were next door neighbors with the Brazilian trailblazers (my Facebook news feed now has portuguese posts), and the Canadians always beast at the buckeye regional. I should be getting it right by now... I think the reason I mixed up is because I talk about it like the other sports teams at school talk about their competitions. Not many other teams get to compete with such a big and diverse group.

As far as the thread goes: My favorite team color scheme is definitely 3504 for their Rosie the riveter outfits. Flannel shirts and polka dotted bandanas all the way.

Huh? Nah, you have to try much harder to hurt my feelings. That's actually the most logical explanation I've ever heard for why calling it Nationals. Thanks.
