I don't recall who originally designed the horsehead logo/jersey but I don't think this is correct. How do I know? Because I entered that very contest back in 1998.
The contest was to design Ken Wregget's mask for the upcoming season and this was the winner:
I recall the second place entry was simply the new horsehead logo (that was introduced earlier that summer?) covering the entire mask. I remember being pissed that it got second place because it showed virtually no creativity. In any event, I am 100% certain that the logo did not get designed through that contest...
