What are your Team Colors??

[Elgin Clock]

I was wondering what everyone's official Team Colors are. Some Teams Colors are recognizable on every part of the team; ie: robot, shirts, banners, and such like CD's Orange and Black or Buzz's Yellow and Black and TJ's Tye Dye!

What are your team colors?

Also do you keep the same colors every year or change them??

We wouldn't want to be accused of "clashing" now would we??? Hmmmm?

[Clark Gilbert]

Our team colors are Red, White, and Blue (our blue is sometimes navy blue, sometimes royal)

This year you could really tell our team colors from our robot (i think it was our first colorful robot)

[Joel J]

Red, with a "dash" of black AND/OR white.

[Greg Perkins]

our team colors are unofficially red and black, our real colors are red, blue and yellow

As a corporate marketing guy, I'd make the following suggestions to any team (especially rookies) as you develop your "identity" over the years:

1) Picking a team color that leverages your school colors is a good idea. Picking a team color that also leverages the colors of your main sponsor is also good if you plan to have that same sponsor for many years.

2) be sure that your color scheme, logo, etc doesn't violate any rules of "corporate identity" as defined by your school or sponsoring corporation.

3) make sure that your team name and logo can stand-out on whatever color scheme you choose. If the background is multi-colored (e.g camo or tie-died), then consider a white-out frame around the name/logo

4) The team name and number (obviously) must not change from year to year, so pick a name that you, your school, and the sponsors in your area can live with. Pick a name that sounds good when iterated by the MCs during the events.

5) Team colors also should stand-out in a dimly-lit event venue and/or in your school hallways. It's OK to have multiple teams with similar (or almost identical) attire....lots of "pink" htis year as well as camo on multiple teams.

Our story???? School colors are red & black.....corporate sponsor's colors are red & black......weird.......our corporate sponsor is a government/militray supplier of communications products, so we started wearing a special red/black version of camouflage that has now become our pervasive "identity"........so much so that we won the 2006 Imagery award at the Boston regional.

It's really effective, you guys completely stand out in a crowd. I have seen other people wearing those same pants elsewhere, and I always do a double take to make sure it's not someone on Rolling Thunder.

177 has been Maroon & Gold for 8 years now. It's our school colors, so it works well. It's really hard to find things in maroon and gold though, so this year I decided to change it to dark red and yellow for all purchases.

Hey Greg,
thanks for the compliment. Our team wears the red camo pants to the mall. But, did you check out my hand-made camo tux jacket? I may go into the prom-wear business (ha, ha).

But, just for future inspiration, I'm an electrical engineer who actually did make that jacket myself! You can do anything if you put your mind to it.
