PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't use sharpie!! Buy or borrow some white fabric paint!! Its IMPOSSIBLE to read black on blue from the stands, and often hard to read black on red.

I can't tell you how many times our scouters had to pull out binoculars or cameras with zooms in order to figure out what the team number is. The whole concept of "a contrasting color" and the ability to tell teams by their bumpers is lost with black on blue.

OK fine if you have silver sharpie or something that will show up, but white fabric paint is cheap & just as easy!
