Actually it's like 1937's idea. We used it last year and it was really great- less then 1 sec. to switch color.
The setup my team uses is similar to this but with snaps instead of velcro, it just stays on better. We only had to take them off when they were in the way of something we had to fix, and even that was easy because they were secured with quick release pins.

Each idea has it's pros and cons, and I have my own opinion on which is best, but i'd like to hear from others in order to get a fresh perspective on the discussion...

Thanks!

We do one set of bumpers that has reversible color because it will save you way more time. like 1st you dont have to make two sets now and that will save your time to do something ells 2nd when your at the competition and you have to un-bult your first set of bumpers and then bult your second set, youll save time. if you need that time to fix something or re-program it and 3rd if your going to a zero week scrimmage they will let you play match after match on the field if theres no extra teams. and since you have reversible bumper you can always change your color fast.
