I've always been a fan of the hockey stripes, if done right.

I'd say one or the other, both will be too much IMO. Or if you want a stripe that goes along the whole car you could look into 35th anniversary stripes.

I only like the 35th on red cars,I don't care for it on any other color,hockey sticks are ok,I don't like stripes,but if I had to do something it would be a manta and a berger,that's it,not gay stripe on the spoiler or anything else,or you could just do the black decal below the ss scoop,
