I got to make this based off of 1990s UpperDeck hockey cards. Our city Council took this photo of them in our local Jr A hockey jerseys to show support during the teams playoffs run. I used GIMP and inkscape to make this.

There's like a bunch of JavaScript code in the SVG that I'm trying to use as a logo, and random nodes like sodipodi. I want to make sure that the only thing I'm importing is path, with attributes that I can set from the frontend library that I'm using. I also want to add support for dark mode. Or better, I want to make sure that the logo I'm using is compatible with Tailwind classes, such that I can set bg-color and text-color properties.
