Right! put a plastic card on the front and call it good. That would never
work I know! I know!
I understand the contrast thing as I did graphic design for a few years so I
stand corrected... but also I am a pretty small guy (5'8") and had no
problem fitting the number on my jersey at the cross races in Eugene this
fall. They do not seem that large. I think my fold idea was just a guy
thing... "trying to solve the problem"... maybe he really just wanted
someone to "listen"... not solve the problem. I have given enough bad
advice for the day. I be done!
