We don't change shirts to match the robot or game, but we do wear different shirts each day of competition. Thursday we have the previous year's main T-shirt (orange), Friday is the current primary T-shirt (orange), and Saturday we have our Mechanic Shirts, which are blue, short-sleeve, have two pockets, and are button-down and collared. We also match our team flag to the shirts, giving the MC our orange flag on Thursday and Friday and the blue one on Saturday.
Some more info on the shirts:
The orange shirts have our Superman logo on the left breast, "68" on the right sleeve, and our big logo (The team name and truck overlaid on a Michigan outline) centered on the back, with the FIRST logo in the upper right, sponsors on the left, and our
website and schools below it.
The Mechanic Shirt has one's name embroidered on the right breast, having the first name--and last initial, if needed--(students) or first initial and last name (mentors), and the team name, school names, and FIRST logo on the left breast, with "68" on the left sleeve and a blank back.
We also have a blue T-shirt, pullover sweatshirt, and zip-up sweatshirt, which are color-inverted versions of the orange T-shirt. While not officially in the team uniform, it's nice to have some team apparel to wear whenever and keep the "official" shirts clean. A lot of people wore the blue T-shirt on Wednesday in St. Louis. There was some talk (although I don't know how serious it was) of enlarging the Superman logo to cover the entire front of the blue T-shirt (i.e. S.P.A.M.) in the future.
TL;DR Version: So you're not quite alone in having multiple shirts for each day at a competition.
P.S.: On the subject of year-specific shirts, 3098's Jordan-inspired "Air Captains" shirts are cool.
