Buttons?

In the past couple years I've seen a trend emerge with teams handing out stickers. Our team may pass on the button ordering this year to save some money and hand out stickers instead.

I like putting my stickers on my clipboards. #StuffVCsDo

oooh...stickers is an interesting idea! We could even create a sticker wall in the pit for teams to put their stickers on...you might be starting a new trend!!! I like it.

I think buttons just are always used because they are something that most everyone can walk away with. I know these days even just spectators not affiliated with a team and younger kids love them. I think the one nice thing about buttons is that They are a bit more robust than stickers unless you put the sticker on something permanently. My freshman year, one of my best friends collected so many buttons on his shirt that his shirt weighed maybe 5lbs or more. Still one of my favorite memories, and that's what a lot of FIRST is about...memories!

Be careful with stickers. Venues tend to have a problem with them, since some less responsible students often end up sticking them on things they shouldn't (walls, floors, bleachers, bathroom stalls, etc.). If you use stickers, give them out in very limited quantities.

I remember when we gave out stickers in Atlanta and teams were leaving them stuck to attractions at Six Flags Over Georgia. I'm sure they were not big fans of us.
