If it’s not too much trouble, let’s kill the oversized houndstooth script A idea, and instead just dress the bear in a white jersey with a solid crimson script A on its front (in place of a numeral). Then if you could put the classic black and white houndstooth fedora on his head, I will be very satisfied.

3Son, Let me start by saying I am a very great admirer of your talent.

My vision is of a large crimson Bama script A in the background, with a bear wearing the iconic houndstooth hat in the foreground; leaning, chin on one hand, with his elbow on the crossbar of the “A”, and a rolled up program in the other hand at his side. There is a famous pregame photo, which you may be able to access, of Bear Bryant leaning against a goal post which inspired this idea. Hope this is not too specific, - feel free to use your own superior artistic license.
( I’m thinking a cartoonish bear (as long as it’s not Winnie the Pooh), rather than an actual grizzly or black bear. The expression on his face should project a complete air of confidence and superiority - just to trigger all Bama detractors. )
Thanks in advance, can’t wait to see what you come up with.

Most Americans address this topic from perhaps too much of a geocentric point of view. In the run up to the election, Putin, like everyone else, assumed Hillary would win. He surely did not want Trump to win. I believe the election provided an opportunity for a Russian preemptive attack to weaken the presumed HRC presidency. Heads probably rolled at the Lubyanka when Trump actually won. Talk about unintended consequences ...
