The latest submission in our design contest for a hypothetical NFL team in Oklahoma City comes from Lennie Nelson. His Roughnecks design includes my favorite logo of the contest thus far. I do not love the turquoise, but I appreciate Mr. Nelson's reasoning:  
"My design is centered around traditional Native American shades of
turquoise and red. The logo is an 'R' that has an oil rig arm extending from
above in honor of the proud blue collar workforce of Oklahoma. The
numbers feature a subtle inlaid design of repeating arrows, not unlike
the 'Seahawks.' These arrows can be found on the helmet as well as the
pants."

Again, I love the logo. It is simple and clever. The overall design looks very good. Thank you to Nelson for the work he put into this and for sending it to us. His design will be added into the contest update entry, which you can find here. Nelson did not provide a Web site or social media account, which is a shame because he's clearly talented.
