Would it be against gracious professionalism to have these awards posted on our team's sweatshirts?

FIRST awards are something to be excited about, and many teams show off their awards on their shirts, even awards of years and years ago. It's self-promotion and a good feeling to know you have some hardware in your trophy case. Some teams can be inspired by an award, and some are inspired by teams who have long lists of awards.

The only time showing off awards on shirts/in robot pits/on websites and so on would be un-GP, is if you brag about it to the point where it becomes distracting.

Awards given to you by teams are generally not something you show off on a T-shirt, but all FIRST awards are fair game.
