I disagree with that. I went to a local art gallery for a charity event last week and 90% of the pieces were of horses.
I don't like the white hat idea. I think its predictable and boring and would look horrible on a jersey. Frankly just don't mess with the logo. If you want to honour any tradition, honour having one of the best logos in the league and don't mess with it.
