Letterhead Design Brief

A professional sports club needs a new letterhead design.
The design should be minimalist preferably using a conservative typeface/font.
The colours can be black and white and/or include our club colours of claret and blue (like Aston Villa).

UPDATE:
Hi all,
Primary club colours are claret and blue.
Heritage of the club:
DC United are from an old shipping town (think old Manchester). Their local supporters were mainly from the port and nearby logging industry.

Mascot: A raven.

The club origins:
DC United was formed late in 1859 with the development of Deadtree Park. However the new club had inadequate facilities, so it linked up with Cheshire County, a nearby cricket club.

Legend has it that in 1863 an enormous flock of ravens landed on the southern stand the morning that DC United were scheduled to play a promotion match into lowest tier of the professional football league.
