Colour Blindness & Kit Clashes

Post by Rowls » Sat Nov 27, 2021 5:40 pm

Hello. I'm not at all colour blind.

But I'm still struggling to tell the difference between Brighton in their blue home kit and Leeds in the blue away kit.

I’m colourblind but finding it ok. Leeds have a navy away kit and this is their third so probably the best out of their three available.

Totally agree. Absolutely daft decision to play the game with these colours.

Was about to post the same. Amazed they have been allowed to wear that. Very difficult to distinguish between the two sides. Maybe not as difficult live rather than through the TV?

The Leeds kit is actually a kind of pale purple. Maybe the tv shows it as blue but it is quite distinctive in real life. Just look at the photos on the BBC website and there is no clash of colours.

It might be bright green in real life but I'm struggling to follow the match properly.

The number of misplaced passes might indicate it isn't helping some of the players either. Or maybe they just sh i t e.

Read an article recently about former Charlton and Ireland midfielder, Matt Holland. He made his debut for Charlton against Plymouth and very quickly realised that he had red/green colour blindness when passes were going to the opposition. He managed to get through the game by concentrating on the shorts of the opposition(white) which had a different motif on them compared to the white ones Charlton were wearing. I'm guessing that when he played for Ireland they would change from green to their change strip if the opposition wore red.

You should have been at the u23s last night. Stoke wore green shirts, our goalkeeper wore a green top.
