Yes but JttW is just the BASIS for the team theme. Each individual character (apart from Wukong) has his own allusion. Sage is Aesop, Neptune is, well, Neptune, and Scarlet is unknown at this point.

This goes hand in hand with the other team themes. The "Team Theme" for RWBY is fairytales, JNPR's Team Theme is "Legends who crossdressed", CRDL's Team Theme is birds, CFVY's Team Theme is likely food... If Glynda, Ozpin, Ironwood, and Qrow were on a team, their theme would be Wizard of Oz (their individual characters thus far do not cast dual-allusions as Team SSSN does). Of course, Qrow is actually teamed with Taiyang, Raven, and Summer. It's possible their team theme is actually seasons (Taiyang for spring, Raven for winter, Qrow for autumn, and Summer for summer).
