I do like the idea of using black as a tertiary color. The key is avoiding the University of Hawaii comparison, so I'd imagine black would have to be used sparingly to accomplish that, which I know we'd be able to pull off.
Although I have another idea we could consider. We only have to use the kelly green, no rules saying that it has to be the primary color. We could always consider using gold as the primary color. Using Dr. Pepper's Oakland A's example, they do have a yellow primary jersey that they wear with kelly green as a secondary color. I think if we did that, we could use kelly green and black as secondary and tertiary colors while avoiding the Hawaii comparison.
What do you all two think about gold as the primary, kelly green as the secondary and black for the tertiary colors?
As for the base logo, it's a good start, sort of depends on how much of the bird we use. I would imagine having more black might be necessary for color balance purposes, but otherwise, it looks very nice!
EDIT: Just now realized Dr. Pepper had suggested using navy as a 3rd color. That's actually not a bad idea either, although now we have quite a few routes we can go here. However, not sure I agree with making the gold look more orange, although if I saw it, maybe I'd change my mind. I do agree that just using the head for the primary logo and the whole body for the secondary logo would look best!
