Re: Bumpers and Team Number
After finishing bumper making last night, and getting ready to paint numbers on bright and early this morning, one of my fellow teammates directed me to this thread.

At first I was frustrated, but it is possible to make the numbers fit. Our smallest bumper is 9 inches and our team number is 2471 so not exactly small (length-wise) but not long either.

I suggest starting by folding a piece of paper to the exact dimensions and free handing numbers on to see how crowded they are going to look. Which disappointed me, since I am all about making things pretty.
However, using Arial Narrow font size 450 (I believe) and changing the stroke or the outline of the text, I got numbers that fit perfectly.
So while the task is daunting, it is doable
