"Kelly Tripucka Bobblehead Night"

 

These are four words that I did not ever think I would see together!

 

I am so so thankful that I am seeing these words together!

[chknwing]

I bet anyone in here $100 that it will be a logo of a teal and purple hornet

Are u for realz. Now way lol.... Just playing. I'm like u I'm pretty sure it will be a hornet on purple and teal. I'm curious if try have altered the hornet any and incorporated the new black and grey into. Grey and black will look amazing with teal and purple on jerseys. If they use that combo it would awesome.

It will be a modernized more fiercer version of the old logo. I work at TWCA and have lunch in the same break room as some of the big dogs. One of them was showing it off to another one and I got a glimpse over their shoulder
