Little help with a design

Hey guys...I'm looking for some help. I am having difficulty coming up with a design idea for a butt wrap on my Stepdad's rod. Hey is from England and LOVES soccer and Pompey in particular. I am building a snook rod and its a 16mm diameter where the wrap will start so its fairly large and there is plenty of room to work with.

Here are the colors he wants to use:

I kinda want to get away from the boxes/cheverons I have been doing. I have VisualWrap and would have no problem with buying a book or design if it had what I needed.

Any and all ideas are welcomed. Post here or email me at:

gameguru@cox.net

Thanks guys!

If you are willing to wait for a crosswrap book, the one I have been working on will be available Feb 17th, and will be sold by a couple of Sponsors of this site as well as direct from me.

My favorite internet how to pattern: [www.visualwrap.com] (I'm biased, lol). All 110 patterns in the book are displayed in Step by Step mode similar to this, so even the most complicated wrap is easy to understand.
