Jersey Proposal

Building off of yesterday's post that something appears to be in the works for a jersey and logo...

This past season the team sported a new home (white) jersey:

The previous year, the home (white) jersey had the stripes through the middle:

For me I thought this years white jersey looked sharp. The away (black) jersey continues to pattern itself with the strip in the middle.

I think the strip should be lowered. Now, I am no graphic designer, and could only piece this together. But this is my proposal for the black jersey:

New Logo?

Someone (Tyson Brouwer) has hinted on twitter that the team may be releasing a new logo? Have a look:
