I agree. When my team tucks the fabric in their corners, you can't see the other color on the corner. Sometimes the fabric peeks through after a rough match, though.
I've seen a lot of reversibles that have exposed corners, and ive seen some that are done really well, that don't show any of the other color. In many cases, the sewing job isn't perfect. Getting reversibles right can be very difficult if there isn't someone available who is skilled at sewing. This year, our bumpers have quick release pins AND they're reversible. For next year, we want to do separate sets, since we already are using pins anyway, and single color bumpers are a breeze to make.
