I'd guess they kept the gold numbers because Dale Jr had them, but Dale Jr has the gold number on everything. Also, his KBB livery wasn't awful.
 
The Kelley Bluebook colors worked so much better on Dale's car. The gold numbers was better because of the effect in the gold:

The gold on the 24 is just this dull matt texture, something that to me just doesn't work with a color like gold.
 
Kinda wish the number and outline would be a reverse gradient of the car, would be cool as hell but probably illegal

That wouldn't look good. Besides, all they managed was a 90 clockwise rotation on the livery.

I agree. The number does bother me on Chase car. Even on the 3M car. Even though in MY OPINION that the 2016 3M scheme looks waaaayy better than the 2015 3M scheme, the way the number is brings it down. Hopefully it gets adjusted but probably won't.
 
The #24 will be as irrelevant as #3 was a couple years back. Look for Ryan Blaney to run away with the ROTY just like Kyle Larson did when "silver spoon" Dillon disgraced the #3 a couple years back.

They both seem like idiots here. The cop pushed him. Tony didn't really do anything wrong but should be used to hecklers and people flipping him the bird. Tony's mistake is he reacted to it. I'd probably want to keep more of a low profile considering everything that has gone on the last couple years.

Well said. Tony is under enough scrutiny already. The last things he needs are incidents like these to further damage his reputation. I'd say merely paying attention to the heckler added fuel to the fire.

Sad thing is as @GTPorsche pointed out, he's in a predicament where either outcome wouldn't have been ideal for him given how the media pretty much WANTs a screw up out of Tony and it would be so easy for people to make him out to be horrible towards his fans. He's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't and this was even before Kevin Ward stepped in the picture.
 
I applaud Tony for what he did. People like that idiot cop are the reason people don't bring their kids to races and other sporting events, which means they don't get to experience it and become fans and the sport loses in the long run.

(This goes for all sports, fan etiquette is in the toilet across the board)
 
I hope these are better then what we've seen so far, all the work up to this point has been nothing but reasons for Jesus to cry.
 
They'd almost have to try to make those liveries look worse than the crap ones that have been debuted so far this year. Sadly, it's still very much possible that they could actually do that...
