Sometime between the summer of 06 and the summer of 07, the youth membership decided to change the bylaw. Back then we decided that we just didn't want to have to wear cow pattern neckerchiefs. So we passed the following amendment:
The crew neckerchief will be of orange colored material with
white piping and the round version of the Camp Pico Blanco
patch design, as adopted in 1966, printed in color on the
back, with "Crew 699" printed below it in green. The
neckerchief will either be a square measuring one square
yard or a triangle measuring one-half of a square yard. The
crew neckerchief will be worn with the shirt collar tucked under.
But after having passed this amendment, we learned something about our original neckerchief design. Article 10 section b. reads identically, except for the color and piping. In the 1988 bylaws, which is where the neckerchiefs are first mentioned, it describes the crew neckerchiefs as being "light grey" and mentions no piping. What we learned was that the color was chosen for a reason... its resemblance to the peak of Mt. Pico. Especially on the dark green shirt, like the forest!
So the general consensus is that we will have a light grey kerchiefs, but other things have popped up. And that is what this forum is for.
Option 1: Original or Extra Crewspy?
Original
Unofficial Crew "Seal"
Piped edges or not?
Piped
Not Piped
The crew seal option had some popularity at the crew business meeting.
But it was decided that before an amendent proposal was drafted, some discussion should be had. I'm not sure if this discussion includes adults or is limited to the youth membership... so I will hold off on my opinion until that's cleared up.

I support the "crew seal" option because it will differentiate the crew neckerchief from the standard camp ones of yore.
I also support piping because, when worn properly, it adds a cool candy cane effect to the front. However, I'm not sure what color would go well with grey.
One side note.
Notice how the proposed graphics have a black border or edging. the printed graphics on the shown neckerchiefs do not have these. Our neckerchiefs would also not have them, so the shown graphics (original and extra crewspy) will have that small change made.
if, like chris!, you'd prefer the "crew seal", would you also want "crew 699" printed below the seal?
I think we should use the Crew Seal with Venture Green piping
