There were some pretty rough looking bumpers there.
Bumpers are proving tougher to make than fat first thought. I think one problem is that bumpers are an afterthought more or less and when teams realize they have to make them it's at the last minute or at the event when they find out it's the one thing keeping them from the field.
Any team that is particularly good at could probably have a pretty good fundraiser designing bumpers for other teams.
