Red Wings Hat

So, I created the pattern for this hat a long time ago, and finally decided to try it out. My plan was to be able to make these are christmas presents for my friends/family who are big Wings fans, but I'm not sure how much I'm loving the colorwork on the front. I think my white yarn should have been bulkier, and like I said, I'm not sure if I like it, so feel free to share your opinion! Is this a craft disaster??
