You’d be surprised how bland FIRST Place looks here at FIRST headquarters in Manchester, NH. We’ve been covering the walls with donated team t-shirts, but we’re always looking for some more!
If any teams have a t-shirt they wish to have included on the wall, please send it to
FIRST Place
200 Bedford Street
Manchester, NH 03101
The t-shirts will be seen by everyone who attends events at FIRST Place, including students, parents, staff, and even CEOs that come to visit!
We have some t-shirts from Israel, a green “moe” towel, and a VCU regional shirt just to name a few off the top of my head.
One of these days I’ll remember to bring my camera in with me to work, and I’ll take some pictures to post on here.
If your team decides to send one, just post on here so we can be on the lookout for it!
I think FIRST has one of our shirts from '92. I know they have the robot from then and I if they don’t I think they’d rather have a shirt from then then what we wear now because of what it stands for. We have one hanging up at out site but I think we’d like to keep that one.
I love looking at all the t-shirts every time I visit FIRST Place. And the last time I was there, I noticed the “Everything I Need to Know I Learned in FIRST” paper on the wall, too! http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/1499
Just an update,
We received Kettering University’s LUNACY shirt & Big MO Team 314!
We’ve been so busy here, I haven’t had time to go around and list all of the shirts we already have. If you have an extra to spare for FIRST Place, please send it regardless. A majority of our t-shirts are older ones anyways, so if you’ve recently updated your design we’d love to put a newer one up.
Finally had a breather at work to go and take 2 pictures of some of the t-shirts up on the wall. Thanks to the teams who have sent them! We don’t have much room left - its nice to have the walls popping with color from all the different shirts!
Received team 2344’s shirt today.
It’s going to be a little bit before I can go hang it up. FLL Partner Training going on all week. Can’t be noisy.
We definitely still have room. We actually repeated a bunch of FIRST Place camp shirts, so we can always pull them down and put up team shirts instead.
We don’t have one for 571, so we’d love to have one! =)
I would love to send a shirt!
I was just wondering, and I think that it would be a good idea to have the people on the team remembered also, not just the team itself. Do you think that it would be a good idea to have our whole team sign the shirt we send to FIRST Place? I think that the shirt at FIRST Place should be a little bit more important than our regular shirts, and a full team signed shirt will definitely do the trick!
I hung up a few of the ones we’ve received already today during the camps. If you sent one, you can see where it’s hanging in the pictures below!
Unfortunately today is my last day at FIRST. I couldn’t commit to working through the summer because my family is moving to VA. It’s been a great year working here at FIRST Headquarters though! Keep sending your shirts and there’ll still be other people here to hang them up. Thanks everyone so far who has helped to brighten our facility!
