Default VOTE: Custom stripes

Ive been wanting to get some kind of stripes for a long time now, but never saw anything that i really liked except for the blackbird stripes. So i did my first photoshop and i came up with these.

Ive never seen anybody do any of these and this is why i like these even better, but id like to see what you guys think.

right now im leaning towards the thin stripe up the middle and i kind of like the one with stripes on both sides of the hump, but i dont really like the big stripe up the middle.

thanks

The second one looks good. I've never seen any like that before. Definately unique.

Second option appeals to me most. Honestly, any one of them will look good.

Option 2. The others dont flow as well IMO being you're covering the outter portions of the stripe, yet the inner portions are going bare.
