TeamCo Hoodie 2026: the Story Behind the Contest

The back of the TeamCo Hoodie 2026 carries a single image. We never printed a caption for it - we wanted you to tell us what it means. That small question turned into a contest, and Fundacja TeamCo & Friends tied it to something bigger: the anonymous Salesforce Ecosystem Survey Poland 2026, open until the end of April 2026.

An image without a caption

On the back of the hoodie there's an image and no explanation. That was deliberate. We asked one question: what do you think it represents, and why is it on our hoodies? The point wasn't a single correct answer, but to hear how the community reads it.

A hoodie for the best interpretation

We put ten hoodies up for grabs. Entering was simple: complete our anonymous Salesforce Ecosystem Survey, then follow the instructions at the end to join the contest. On top of that, the most interesting interpretation of the image won a hoodie of its own. The survey stayed open until the end of April, and we picked the final ten owners in the first week of May.

Why a contest was tied to a survey

A giveaway is easy to scroll past. A survey that shapes a real report is not. Tying the two together was deliberate: the hoodie was the nudge, but the survey was the point. Every answer feeds the Salesforce Ecosystem Report Poland - the data specialists can actually put on the table in a salary talk or a job move. You can still read about the study and how it is run. The skills we ask about are evidenced by Salesforce certifications, with free learning paths on Trailhead.

How it went

The contest is closed now, the hoodies have found their owners, and the survey window for that round is over. But the reason it existed hasn't changed. The report only carries weight because people take the time to answer honestly. If the hoodie brought in a few more of those answers, it did its job. Why Fundacja TeamCo & Friends runs the study at all is explained on the foundation page.

Frequently asked questions

What was the TeamCo Hoodie 2026 contest? A community contest run by the TeamCo & Friends Foundation. Completing our anonymous Salesforce Ecosystem Survey entered you into a draw for one of ten hoodies, and the most interesting reading of the image on the back won one too.

Is the contest still open? No. The survey for that round closed at the end of April, and the final ten owners were chosen in the first week of May.

What does the image on the hoodie mean? There is no official answer - that was the whole idea. We wanted the community to interpret it, and the most interesting interpretation won a hoodie.

The takeaway

Merch fades. Data doesn't. The hoodie was a fun way to bring more voices into the survey, and those voices are what make the report worth reading. If you missed this round, the study keeps going.
