Not as sharp as a red and silver warbonnet, but not bad. <br /> <br />BN's "Greenstein" scheme was attractive, and whoever did the "Barfbonnet" did neither the color scheme nor the design a good service... They could have done it much better and it would have looked acceptable. It looks to me like some guy in the front office ordered a "one off" for review of possibilities, and the guy who got stuck painting it was none too enthused, perhaps with the merger in general? Thats the way it looks anyway, it appears to me that it looks bad because someone wanted it to look bad... <br /> <br />Maybe a little change of scale in the pattern, knock the size of that red stripe down a bit, maybe supplement it with silver accents, and I think you could have a winner
