I couldn't agree more...black numbers (however wide) on blue bumpers Just Doesn't Work. But what I don't understand about that is that R15 is quite clear -- "...in a contrasting color....". Now, I guess there can be some interpretation of that, but the point of the rule is clear -- people need to see the numbers -- so I really can't understand why black on blue was acceptable. While inspecting in the St. Louis regional, we made teams renumber their bumpers in contrasting colors. Meaning white. One coach asked if he was expected to go out & buy white paint -- we told him yes, if that was what it'd take. Unsurprisingly, when the announcement went out "anyone have white paint?" the answer was "yes".

The simple answer to this problem is as someone else suggested in the thread -- make R15 say "white numbers on all bumpers". Done.
