2037 OFFSEASON
PART 1

A NEW LOOK AND A NEW OWNER FOR SEATTLE
The Seattle Ravens' founder and longtime owner Poe Crowe has decided to retire, selling his controlling stake in the team to real estate developer Randy Lousteau after lengthy negotiations. Lousteau has decided that, seeing as the Ravens are fresh off the heels of a never-before-seen four-peat, with no signs of slowing down, they deserve a look befitting their more regal status. Gone are the bright purple and gloomy black, instead being swapped for a much more subdued shade of purple and a dashing gold, heavily inspired by retro uniforms donned by the Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Kings.
