It could be made to look almost natural with the right font, and if the loop side of the velcro is attached to the shirt, there's no hazard to other players.
Better yet, just do what one of my basketball coaches did when two #5's showed up to a game, and use tape to alter the number.
Then "87" becomes a runner.....breaks the tackle because the temp number tore off when B tried to tackle him.

Good idea in theory.... but I don't see that flying. That to me is altering as well.
