New Austin Roughnecks Identity

After a season that was terrible pretty much all the way around. Hoping to improve their luck, Austin has rebranded to what you see below. Hopefully this motivates a team who has the tools to make a run. The primary is updated with the new script, and the cap logo is a roughneck. The tertiary remained the same.
