That's great Wade, thanks a lot. The only problem I have is that I was thinking about that in terms of being a helmet, I wasn't thinking in terms of an overall logo. (I completely forgot about that, I was probably thinking of WAFL where they have the helmets as logos). The implementation is great but I'm thinking the concept might not stand up in the super-huge logo area in 2007. Still, it's better than anything else I can come up with.
Anyway, I've changed the colours to be more in line with the British flag and, those are the colours I have in mind in terms of team colours, with dark blue the Primary, dark red the Secondary and white the Tertiary.
*Edit: Actually looking at it more, it does look pretty groovy. I'll see if I can come up with anything better but you've really done a good job and I think it will be fine as a team logo.
