i'd say only do manta if you didn't have the 30th anneversary stripes already. but i personally like what you're sporting already.

I'm not sure I would like the manta on SOM, but I've also never really been much of a fan of 30th stripes. If I had to pick though, i'd go manta

He stated that he would do Manta instead of the stripes, not both.

The manta would be cleaner, your stripes are more aggressive than the manta. So clean or aggressive, you choose the look you are going for.
