IMHO, it would be a LOT better not to depict *any* person at all. Simply a picture of the back-hoe, bright yellow, in the gun-sights. Make is a hi-tech gun-sight with ranging ranging, azimuth, and elevation markings. The back-hoe should be one of those enclosed driver compartment types so the operator can't be seen.
No matter which operator is depicted, someone could construe it as being racially/ personally defamitory. This would prevent many of us from wearing it in the work-place.
People don't kill fiber, backhoes kill fiber. Support the right to keep and bear backhoes.
