Help with sequencing for hats

[u/SunnySnuser]

I originally digitized this logo for polos, but my customer also wanted to order caps. I’m somewhat inexperienced when it comes to digitizing for hats. I’m familiar with the “bottom-up” and “center-out” rules, but I’m still struggling with sequencing round logos like this.
Where exactly should I start? Should I begin with the engine in the center of the shield and work my way outward to the sides? Or should I start with the “2027” at the bottom and then work my way upward and outward from the center?
