Remember that "changes its stripes" is from an English idiom about 
tigers, so an over-literal translation of the headline is 
unnecessary. qogh or Qeb probably work here. I might prefer Qeb to 
avoid the ambiguity of qogh.

I might try to play with patlh or tlham . .. I've forgotten the word 
for the sash worn to denote status, but you might be able to derive a 
pun there.
