When hiding Sprites on your back, you yourself will not be able to see them. However, this is not actually the case for other players. While Sprites will be hidden for the player who has the setting enabled, all other players, including squadmates and enemy players, will be able to see what Sprite you have on your back, both in the pre-game lobby and during your Battle Royale match. At the time of writing, there is no way for you to hide Sprites on your back from other players, unless you instead move a Sprite from your back to their inventory.
