Re: Bumper covers, two bumpers sets or reversible bumpers?

We love reversible bumpers. True, they take longer to make, but they're a great example for the students of how a little extra effort upfront can save a lot of effort down the road. It's also a nice, contained engineering problem for them to reproduce them and make sure they look good each year.

Personally, I'd love to see the bumper rules expanded to allow bumpers to be reused from one year to the next... then investing on a set of nice reversible bumpers would give you something great for several years in a row!

Re: Bumper covers, two bumpers sets or reversible bumpers?

Our team also uses reversible bumpers. They look great and are a breeze to switch out between matches. The only tip I could throw out to those contemplating using these is with corners, take your time to make sure that the fabric looks good and isn't wrinkled and bulky. Personal pet peeve.
