I could see one complaint being the numbers (you have to display the numbers at four ~90deg), but aren't allowed anything other than numbers on the bumpers, so one of the 772s on the front could be considered redundant? But honestly, I don't see how an inspector could rule those bumpers illegal because of that...
It's at odds with past practice, but FIRST has been consistent about stating in Q&As this year that there must only be four sets of numbers on the bumpers, at approximately 90° intervals.

I don't think anyone will be confused about team 772772, but 11 and 1111 (for example) could end up at an event together...maybe with 111 too, just for the sake of confusion.

Easy solution: flip the fabric over. (If it's Cordura, it won't be exactly the same on the back...but it ought to work fine, if you're not too concerned about the frictional characteristics of the bumper.)
