How do you recognize teams?

[rachelholladay]

I can generally recognize people by team number better, although that can probably be mainly attributed to lots of research of team websites. I only know a team's location by what regional they compete in (if that). For example, I know the HOT Team 67 and Killer Bees 33 are from Michigan because they compete in the districts. However I have little idea where in Michigan.

I too must confess that I have trouble with teams over 2000 (and over 3000 is worse for my memory.

I suppose a follow-up question to this one would be in what order to people identify themselves? Team (number) (name) or Team (name) (number). I normally say Team 1912 Combustion but my friends down the way say Team Fusion 364. Is one style more common / preferred that the other?
