The images of the painted-on numbers above look great, but we painted

numbers on our first year and it looked like we painted them on. Embroidery is a great option if you have access to that.
While I do agree that iron on is a good option, the melting into the fabric of the bumper is still more of a mechanical adhesion, and I'd be happy to be proven otherwise. Iron on is by no means a bad option and is a great number solution for most teams. And yes, I think everyone agrees that peel and stick on is a terrible solution for anyone and there is definitely a distinction. I feel more secure using fabric paint, which can be really difficult to scrape off of fabric due to its chemical composition being made specifically to bond to fabric. Our drivers can be very aggressive with both offense and defense, so this is why this is preferred for our team haha.

If Robopromo can provide numbers in any font, preferrably Bank Gothic, which is what is in the pictures, I'd gladly consider my team ordering and trying your product out!
