If you read all of Travis's idea, he suggests an idea for teams that dont want to use bumpers as well. You can just creat a side panel that has room to velcro the fabric. Its really not that hard.
We use our bumpers for imagery as well(red camo fabric that matches our pants & pit), but I personally would be happy to give up half a bumper on each side to an alliance color if it got rid of the flags. I think this is a great idea!
Going back a ways, I wonder what ever happened to the red & blue covered siren lights... They could be difficult to mount, but they were very visible from everywhere... and if you planned it right, they were easy to see.
