Re: Bumper Numbers?

We have our numbers embroidered on the bumpers. With the computerized embroidery machines, you just have to make sure the width & height is correct. Clearly readable for afar.

The Game manual is on the First web und game and season info\archived game....

Re: Bumper Numbers?

What if our numbers are fully white, but in a more stylized font (our official team font).

Our official team font is http://www.dafont.com/alien-encounters.font

I think it'd be very readable from afar if put in white, but that'll be up for determination during build season.

I would have them in the solid versions of the font. Be sure they meet the stroke requirements as well.

Our team's main font, DINPro, has several weights and we used the thickest possible and it just barely fit the criteria.

Re: Bumper Numbers?

Last year we asked our sponsor that does vinyl cut letters to switch to a different font to make ensure that our 4 digit number fit on the minimum bumper segment without looking "squished."
Uniform font use is something we strive for across our documentation but when it would have impaired the ability of spectators to read our bumpers we made an exception.
