Here's where I take a moment to brag. 1712 has used bumper covers every season where red/blue bumpers were mandatory. In general, I'd agree that our covers (blue) looked less professional than the actual (red) bumpers.
However, in 2013, we took a slightly different approach and ended up with, as described by another team, the "best bumpers in MAR." Instead of 1 cover that stretches around all 4 bumper segments, we made our bumpers symmetrical (2 red and 2 blue), and had a reversible cover. The result looked terrific, and largely held up to a very rough game.
