OT: There is no such thing as a 'crew team'. You can have a rowing crew
or a rowing team but youcannot have a rowing crew team. "Crew" is
defined stricty as a group of people working on a task and, in this
case a group of people rowing together. "Team" is defined similarly.

To say "crew team" is as ponderious and illinformed as saying "Crew
crew" or "Team team".

However, unless you're a rower, that's a totally common mistake, and most of
us rowers let it slide (well, you did know that the only "real" rowing has
lots of sliding, didn't you??)...
