I've received a complaint about the header at the top of the site being 'ugly'. While I can get a webpage up and running, my abilities to work photoshop are a bit lacking. If anyone has the ability and wants to create a more appealing header image I will be happy to put it up top.

I'm no expert either, but I do have photoshop and volunteer any help I can provide. If someone comes up with an idea I'll take a shot at it.

I like it well enough, though should it not be a possessive Yosef's Cabin at ...?

I wonder if you can get all the MMB members to send in a picture of them tailgating or some other picture of them at an ASU event and take these pictures (obviously not all of them) and form some sort of collage out of them.

Yes it should be possessive. The only reason it's not is because I was trying to keep it consistent with the web address above.

I figured that was the case, but I would prefer proper grammar and most everyone that is a bit computer literate about URLs know that they don't contain quote marks, at least that I am aware of that quote marks are not used.
But it is your website. I come for the content, not the masthead.

I'm a a grammar nazi myself - so I'll get that changed if we decide to keep it.

Didn't the picture used to be of KBS? That would be nice.
This picture is floating around Facebook:

Here is a rough draft at what my first idea was. Think of it as something to work off of. The background image could be easily changed, the font could be easily changed, we could get rid of the cabin if you wanted. Just let me know what you like/don't like. Everyone else feel free to throw in your suggestions as well.

I knew you had more talent in your pinky than I did in my whole body. That looks great. Let's see if anyone else has any suggestions to add to it and then we'll throw it up. Thanks.

Thanks! One concern I have is whether it needs tweaking to look good with the social media icons your site has on the top left corner. Let me know if something needs to be moved up or over to work with those.

I can move them back over to the right.

Header switched. Individually I liked it. I'm not so sure when I mesh it with the background on the site though. Thoughts?

I like the new header, the Yosef and cabin part is very cool, the KBS background is a little washed out, IMO.
I've never cared for the stadium shot used as background. It starts to make things look a little cluttered and haphazard.
You run the same software as
Championship Subdivision and I really like the way the board is set up over there. But then I'm a fan of the neat and clean look.

Well maybe the answer is removing the background image then.

I'm on my phone right now so I can't see what it looks like, but I could easily change the background of the header image if someone has one in mind. Has to be big enough though.
