I agree with Kevin, if this showed up at my event I would make the team change it. The line is pretty clear in the rules and allowing teams to bend that rule is asking for trouble. Such as teams having their name in every number, or custom graphics, etc. If that was the GDC's intent they would have put it in the rules.
