Yellow?

Yellow?

Preppy unfair to call him a coward just because he has visual problems.

 

[Wards]

Yeah, it’s a fuck up again. Thankfully my eyes adjusted to it after a while, at least our green is very dark

 

[Houston_Blade]

Firmino, Salah and Mane play for them.

 

[DifferentClass]

Easy to tell the difference- for once we're not the worst team on the park.

(I fully expect to eat these words when we're losing)

 

[Gavlar]

No idea why we have an all green third kit and have got gold shorts and socks instead?

 

[SwissBlade]

For those unable to understand. It’s unwatchable because both sides look the same colour

Im having to look at the shorts

I understand your colour blind but how is it premier league fault?

Because they sanction the kits and should be pushing the narrative on this. The clubs also need to take a share of the blame too. They even published guidance on the very thing and continually choose to ignore it. It makes games such as last night nearly unwatchable (or in some cases totally unwatchable) for quite a lot of us.

Don’t know about SwissBlade but I’d have coped better if United had worn the pink kit yesterday.

it’s been an issue for years, but the clubs and the premier league, knowing that there are colour blind folk around the world paying for their product should consider these kit clashes when teams play

our home kit, being predominantly white wouldn’t have clashed with their red kit. Nor would our pink away

What would you suggest the Premier League and the clubs do to help supporters with colour blindness?

Unfortunately unless its highlighted to the so called higher powers, I dont they will.

Shame tho because everyone should be able to watch football without any problems.

They should adopt the guidance they’ve been issued instead of continually ignoring it: https://www.thefa.com/-/media/thefacom-new/files/about-the-fa/2018/colour-blindness-football.ashx

I’ve raised it directly with the club but they seem not to care a jot.

Look at the Potential for kit clashes. Yesterday was the worst I’ve seen and I had to turn the game off after a few mins

So was the ref

 

[blade too long]

Our shorts were a different colour was enough to distinguish
When I refereed one Sunday both team Only had a white kit . I got them to swop the selection of shorts so one team was distinguishable. Got through it

The pitch must've looked great then?

 

[metalblade]

The shorts were not green or the socks surely they don't look like red or green?

 

[Silent Blade]

I wasnt really aware of this

If that is how it is I'd be taking driving licences off people.

Why?

and yes it is like that

 

[Ranmoorblade]

Why?

and yes it is like that

How can you tell the difference? Don’t they both look the same?

I’m sure you realise traffic lights have a top, middle and bottom sequence...

Traffic light offer no problem to me to be fair and can see them pretty clearly.

Understand your frustration but it's not the PLs fault.

SUFC have decided t bring out a dark green shirt to avoid clashing with red.

Couldn’t the club choose not to have a dark green away kit?
