Team CRDL

Team CRDL (pronounced "Cardinal") is a team in the world of RWBY. The team was first seen in the episode Players and Pieces. During the initiation, the team chose to bring back the Black Bishop pieces. Beginning in Episode 11, two of the members appear to be bullies, with Cardin picking on Jaune Arc and Russel calling Velvet Scarlatina a freak, while Dove and Sky simply laugh at Velvet in agreement.

Trivia

 * The team seems to have a bird motif, Cardinal being a type of bird, similar to Team RWBY's color and fairytale motif, and Team JNPR's warrior motif. Each member's name is synonymous with or similar to the name of a bird.
 * Thrush is the only member of the team that is not wearing full body armor.
 * This is the only team that has a neutral color scheme.
 * CRDL is the second team to consist of only one gender, being male, in contrast to the all-female RWBY.
 * Thus far, because of the shared cowardice, CRDL appears to be the most dis-unified team, showing no teamwork in an actual combat situation.
