Re: Wearing Your Team Colors

We haven't treated our shirt as important until this year, actually. It's part of a new initiative. I think the main reason our shirts were never treated as important was because we changed them year after year. Now we set on one design to keep forever (except for a major change in our lead sponsors). It's no longer a team shirt as it is a team uniform.

Imagine if a football player didn't show up to practice with a jersey to wear. Not really something to kick the guy off the team for, but it makes the player look bad enough that if a trip comes down to a player that forgot their uniform and a player that had their uniform, we take the player that remembered. So our weekend meetings are now mandatory team shirt day, and with that comes discussion on what it means to be an Arctic Warrior, what it means to be a FIRST student, and what it means to wear that shirt.

And because of that, we mentors have noticed that the kind of respect us graduates have for our team shirts has already sunk into many of the kids on the team now. It becomes part of you and part of what being on a team means and what it means to represent our school and sponsors.

So much so that we noticed some seniors and juniors taking the time to wear their team shirts from the past to our other weekly robotics meetings more often.

The rule is written as: Students are required to wear their team shirt to every Saturday meeting during build season, during competition events and at other meetings or events for which wearing the team shirt is required. Failure to do so may result in not being selected for a competition trip, other event or student leadership roles. Wear your colors and team number with respect and remember what you represent when wearing it.
