Esprit de Corps?

Where would you have more team/squad-level pride? (Esprit-de-

Esprit de corps / Team Pride

es·prit de corps eˌsprē dəә ˈkôr/ noun a feeling of pride, fellowship, and common loyalty shared by the members of a particular group.

Pride through performance rather than specialization
