It should be noted that the Banzai Institute and the Blue Blazers are not particularly factional in their factional status. They can, will, and do take all volunteers as prospective members. A Blue Blazer can be a member of any other faction, providing he or she is willing to help others and live in accordance with the Banzai Code (which I will eventually get up online ... really). While Blue Blazers do not necessarily cross-pollinate into other factions, it is not uncommon to see Browncoats, Supers, Trekkers, and others wearing a Banzai Institute patch or pin somewhere on their faction colors.
The "Blazer" is not an actual jacket (although some Blue Blazer Irregulars do wear navy blue coats when needed), but refers to a "blaze" in the heraldric sense, where the word is roughly synonomous with a coat of arms. Hence, the "Blue Blaze" is the blue emblem of the Banzai Institute.
