I've talked to numerous teams that have seen our bumpers and want to do the same with their logos. The ruling here does set a precedent, and is important that we clarify it now.
If you have to look up definitions of words to try to justify the legality, I'd walk away from the design. There are many things that we have to deal with to get a working robot on the field. A lengthy discussion about whether or not bumper numbers are legal really shouldn't be one of the issues. (Even though it looks neat).
