The Blood Gulch Crew, commonly referred to as the Reds and Blues, is the self-made faction consisting mainly of the Red and Blue Teams originally stationed in Blood Gulch, along with individuals that have joined them both later on. Despite an intense rivalry and mutual dislike between the members of both groups at the start of the series, they have teamed up countless times to defeat enemies that would normally be out of their league. Because of their actions, many see the Blood Gulch Crew as some of the greatest soldiers and heroes in the galaxy, even though they self identify as "idiots."
