Re: Wearing You Schools Colors Benefits

T-Rx would have a real hard time using our school's colors because we are made up of 4 schools. One having Purple and White, then 2nd having Purple, black, and gold, the other having Marron and white, then the last (my school) having Blue and White. But we work in the shop and based out of the purple and white school. Plus i don't think T-Rx would look good with purple and white (the most common colors the schools have).

Re: Wearing You Schools Colors Benefits

I agree that making your teams connection to your school more apparent will help. My team is named Eagle Engineering becasue an eagle is our school mascot, and our team shirts are extremely similar to our school uniform. Participation in school events (club day, open house, etc.) will probably also help get some support from the school.

Re: Wearing You Schools Colors Benefits

When 1511 began, we had a pretty easy time choosing colors. Yes- we did adapt the red, black and white of Penfield High School, but we also took those colors and used red, black and white camoflauge to tie it back to our sponsor Harris RF who makes radios for the military. Ironically enough, their company logo is also red, black, and white. With our colors, we fit in with the rest of the school, but at the same time we stand out and make it so that people can't help asking about our camo and FIRST.

Re: Wearing You Schools Colors Benefits

The Foley in Foley Freeze comes from our school name, but we have been using blue and silver as our colors ever since the name switch. It goes more along with our whole ice theme, and I don't think it is a particularly big deal that we don't use the black and gold of Bishop Foley. It also let's us stand out when our school allows us to wear sport, club, or team clothing.

But yes, I can certainly see the benefits to using your school colors as well. I suppose just I like the creativity and identity you can build by branching out a bit.

Re: Wearing You Schools Colors Benefits

This year we also decided to change our colors for more recognition, but at FIRST level. Previously we wore all black, which is a school color, BUT all the sports teams and dance teams wear blue because it stands out more.
We changed our image to 'Blue cheese', so now everything is blue and yellow. We get recognized more in the halls now that our shirts are a brighter color, BUT I'm unsure about the support. We won chairmans and regionals this year, which is a big deal to the school. So, I don't know if the support we are getting now is because of the color change, or because we're more successful in their eyes. It's probably the latter, but I hope not.

Re: Wearing You Schools Colors Benefits

We used all of our school's stuff. Our school mascot is a cardinal, and we're the Cybercards. Our school's colors are red and white, and we use red ,white and black as team colors. We get some school reconition, but people just don't know about FIRST. Our team shirt got a lot of attention this year, though. They are black and white, with a hippo an our logo on it.They say "Hippos Rock" or something like that. People were forver asking me what it was and what it stood for, and seemed interested. I guess that counts as more support.
