Seeing the new medallions reminds me, have the new blue banners been revealed yet? I remember there was speculation during the branding changes the color might change to the new light blue. I think it's pretty safe to say the new logo will be on the banner. Though, now I'm curious to see if the theme will be incorporated into the most precious pieces of fabric held by this community.

Nothing has been officially stated, but FWIW we ordered duplicates of our banners (two schools) a month or two ago, through the company that makes them for FIRST and I asked. The guy said that as far as he knew...y'know, as the vendor... they weren't changing.

Hey, bumpers are important too! /s

I remarked on Twitter, but I hope in future years FIRST will consider a medal design that returns the triangle-circle-square element to the forefront. (My beef isn't so much with the Stronghold-specific design this year as the fact that this element has been downplayed so much in the new program logos. I can't think of anything that's more under-the-tent and subject to some liberties than the medals.)

It's a pretty good medal(lion) but the use of negative space on the old ones was my favorite part and I miss it.
