This year we also decided to change our colors for more recognition, but at FIRST level. Previously we wore all black, which is a school color, BUT all the sports teams and dance teams wear blue because it stands out more.
We changed our image to ‘Blue cheese’, so now everything is blue and yellow. We get recognized more in the halls now that our shirts are a brighter color, BUT I’m unsure about the support. We won chairmans and regionals this year, which is a big deal to the school. So, I don’t know if the support we are getting now is because of the color change, or because we’re more successful in their eyes. It’s probably the latter, but I hope not.
We used all of our school’s stuff. Our school mascot is a cardinal, and we’re the Cybercards. Our school’s colors are red and white, and we use red ,white and black as team colors. We get some school reconition, but people just don’t know about FIRST. Our team shirt got a lot of attention this year, though. They are black and white, with a hippo an our logo on it.They say “Hippos Rock” or something like that. People were forver asking me what it was and what it stood for, and seemed interested. I guess that counts as more support*.*
