Re: Bumper Numbers?

Before you get too far into this, keep in mind that the rule may not be the same this year. (The GDC has made changes on the color/outline part in each of the last three years, although I'd bet the size and stroke width is going to be the same).

As a scout, I've always been fond of very white or bright yellow on the blue or red background. Dark numbers outlined thinly in white, while less challenging than unoutlined numbers, are usually still quite difficult to read from the back half of the stands. This is particularly painful when the team numbers are all pretty similar and the fonts and colors chosen make it hard to tell (as a random example) 2345 from 2346, when they're both in the same alliance and one robot is partially obstructed by the other in starting position.
