Showed off team (4)

I believe the answer is:

crew

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'team' is the definition.
(I know that crew is a type of team)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for crew that I've seen before include "Gave wake-up call" , "Sailors -- boasted" , "Boat race team" , "boastful" , "Personnel (on ship perhaps?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
