Re: Are these bumpers legal? (Another bumper thread)

I was just about to make the same claim. The purpose of the 1/2" rule is so that at a distance, the number is easily discernible. At a distance, this numeral will be confusing (it was confusing to some CD'ers even at close range). It maybe mistaken for a wide stroked 8, by those with less than ideal eyesight at a distance, for instance.

When someone, such as a reporter, asks you about your team logo (separate from these bumpers) and what it means, do you start with the words: "Well, its the numeral zero..." I suspect you may mention the hex shape is mechanical concept (hex shafts, etc.) and tell them what the letters C.I.S. stand for. Your logo is not a numeral. Your proposed "numeral" is a logo.
