The Pirates - Logo redesign

So a buddy of mine belongs to one of Lahti, Finland's oldest gangs - The Pirates. Formed in 1983 out of American 50's rock'n roll, hotrods and booze. These guys have managed to stay alive on the cold, mean streets of Lahti. How I came to know this guy is another story. But he emailed and asked if I'd redesign the logo for some t-shirts they want to do for their 30th Anniversary. Hey, I don't judge and Finnish gangs need branding too.

Here's what I came up with. These are concepts I sent him. Once I get a printed t-shirt mailed to me, I'll shoot a pic and update this post.
