As far as my memory serves, I believe Team 1889's name is Purple Haze. Cool Logo. Good luck this season.

ya 1889 was Purple Haze, but r they still active? i dont believe they were at Orlando last year. But anywayz nice logo

[Tetraman]

Very clean and clear. I love that in a logo. I'm not too keen on the gradient flare on the 'z'.

Where did you get the name? Hedrix Fans?

I believe 418 is/was known as the Purple Haze too...

[sprocketeater]

Yes, 418 is known as the Purple Haze.

1889 was Purple Haze, they missed a year but made a comback at Tempest n Tampa

1875 was just Haze at Tempest n Tampa, if I recall correctly. But it was the automontonmontrons or something crazy before.

Ohhhhh Florida teams =]

That would explain the flame as well. Plus they have a theme song.

Yes, 418 is LASA Robotics and it is also known as Purple Haze. In latter years, the team has developed their logo and is using LASA Robotics consistently, but they are still Purple Haze. At Lone Star Regional, the team often asks the dj to play Purple Haze and they have always been thrilled when the dj does play it.

Funny - now there are 3 ?!

Aside: I recently put together some tee shirts of their lead mentor, Tony Bertucci, to make a quilt and one of the blocks is one of the oldest team tee shirts. It simply says: Purple Haze. It pre-dated my time on the team so it goes back a bit. They've also been known to name their robots using the PH in the name. One that comes to mind is PHlappy.

Thanks, we found this out after everything was done. I tried my best to search Cd and FIRST to see how many other teams there were. Our old name was very hard to pronounce and we wanted something that was easy to remember. The school colors are Purple and Silver so we were either going to be "Purple Haze" or "Purple Reign" I preferred the latter, but was overruled by the rest of the team. Thanks for the comments

Actually, started off as kind of a joke because the teacher that sponsored the team last near last name was "Haze" and we thought it would be a funny pun since our school colors are purple and so forth. Any way, it just stuck and here we are.

Thanks Wendy! I think we are going to do both Purple and gray this year. We also have the really cool purple fedora hats that go along with it
