 * Updated the New York Jets logo (again) to their new secondary logo introduced in the 2024 off-season. This aligns with the logo used across nfl dot com and it has been voted for in a poll. (#68)
 * The theme elements `element_nfl_logo()` and `element_nfl_wordmark()` now clean team abbreviations by calling `nflreadr::clean_team_abbrs()` and insert empty grobs for mismatches. 
 * All geoms and theme elements will print more informative warnings about team abbreviation, or player ID mismatches.
+* The gt logo rendering functions now add alt text for accessibility and to silence an annoying pkgdown warning. (#69)
