I always liked this Vipers logo and wish they never got rid of it. The Vipers use to use this logo shown here in this post as the teams secondary logo and the main logo on there third jerseys. Keep the Vipers main logo but I wish the they would bring back this logo and use it for marketing/advertising etc and as the teams second logo and logo for the teams third jerseys.
