Gracious Professionalism or NOT?

[Molten]

I would like to make a simple observation many seem to have overlooked. Those shirts are going to be worn by newcomers who didn't earn those awards. I see no problem with displaying your own accomplishments proudly. However, I would suggest making it so that it is worn by those who accomplished it. I would not feel comfortable wearing a shirt listing accomplishments I wasn't a part of.

Rather than seeing these as accomplishments of certain people, I prefer to view them as accomplishments of a team. Every member who was ever on said team contributed something to the team and deserves to celebrate the team's accomplishments.

A recent discussion on whether or not current team members deserve to be recognized for past team accomplishments, specifically the FIRST Hall of Fame, might be a good resource for more discussion on the topic.
