My drawing skills sucks so I won't enter, but I do hope that this 'design a decal' contest comes back for future seasons, and will be done on Psyonix's original cars for some of them. But now, the real question is, what's the theme for the next season that matches the new BMW 1 Series car? The car itself is the clue, so what could be the theme?
