Bumper Design

Every year we put off making bumpers to the last week of the season, slapping them together before we get to the competition, sometimes stapling them on the bus. Furthermore, they often aren't well integrated into the frame and take a long time to change between matches. We don't really like bumper covers as they tend to look rather poor.

I was wondering how other teams deal with creating bumpers that are easy to take on and off between matches and stay on sturdily during them. Specifically I'm looking for mounting hardware that others may have worked with that is good. Usually we use wing nuts and bolts which are quite finicky.

Thanks in advance!
