National Football League to address concerns of fans puzzled by uniform colors

NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said in an email to The News that the league would now factor in color blindness in the future.

It’s called a “color rush”, which sounds like a kind of Slurpee and means that on Thursday, the Bills are wearing all red and the Jets are wearing bright green. Color-blind fans, which the National Eye Institute estimates affects 8% of men and 0.5% of women, were unable to distinguish who was who.

Former NY Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes was one of the affected viewers who complained on Twitter. Next week the Tennessee Titians will wear powder blue uniforms and the Jacksonville Jaguars will wear full gold uniforms. The issue in the Bills’ 22-17 win over the Jets was exacerbated on the green playing field, especially when the camera was far from the action during live plays.

In a statement released Friday the league stated the uniforms passed standard television tests in the summer but they “did not account for colour blindness”.

The recreation was the primary of 4 on Thursday night time this season by which groups will put on the alternate uniforms.

Sports uniforms that are all one color are all the rage these days. For now, fans will get a taste of the new uniforms during four Thursday night football games. “If you win, you’re going to see it again”. “But hell, I look out there and my team’s in red”.

And furthermore, a few of you may find this amusing, but I don’t… Judging from the schedule, colorblind people will probably be a little bit better off: Looks like we’re getting blue vs. gold, lighter blue vs. white (not a color, it’s a shade), and uh…red vs. yellow.
