I believe that would be a team that competed the first year of FIRST and is therefore prequalified for Championships. I think the main usefulness of these is that in the eliminations, you can see at a glance how many wild cards an alliance might potentially generate (apart from winning EI or Chairman's at that event)

I like this idea, but for it to work you'd also have to have achievement streamers for last year's Championship winners and Championship EI winners, right? Unless you gave them "plain" red and blue streamers.
