'History of Mobsters' Header

here is the first header trial for 'history of mobsters' blog:

well, the content is all about mobsters and gangsters, so i need to use brownish colors, which is really challenging, because brown looks old school and give the impression of those times (1920's - 1960's).

i am really satisfied with the colors and the typeface actually, it fits with the content and it looks original even if it's not a corporate logo. also in my opinion headers are the visuals that give you the first impression of a web site and if i see this header i probably would like to see the information above.
