Looks great! I agree that the gears are not very original, though I wouldn't call them tacky. I think they look great, but not very eight-ish. I thought you were team 125 until I read the post. Perhaps you make the holes in the center larger, so it'll look more like a regular eight with teeth around the edges.

If you want to include the gears in a different way, maybe you could make a more reflective material and then throw in some gears where they'll show a little bit on the numbers.
