[Football] New football kits 2021/22

[Superphil]

Its because green is a colour that is particularly troublesome for people who are colour blind. I'm not sure if the exact details, but the ban is in consideration of colour-blindness.

Edit: Just found this: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57880378

Speaking as someone who is colour-blind, and specifically red/green colour-blind (the most common one) the problems I have are not with green shirts, but when the refs wear yellow, the away team wears orange and the goalie wears a light green shirt. Or if between the teams and referees wear any combination of light yellow, gold, orange, light green, beige or mustard (Barber), that's when the confusion sets in for me. Green goalies shirts, or green outfield shirts are generally fine, so long as the opposition isn't wearing red.

Then again as it's the FA, EPL, UEFA, FIFA 'dealing' with it they probably haven't done any research with colour-blind people, they've probably just decided that they know what is best for us so we have to accept it, screw your traditional team colours Plymouth, Ireland, Sassuolo and Venezia, UEFA is going to do what it wants to do regardless of anything you may feel.

Just seen this on Angry People in Local Newspapers, one of my favourite pages to follow on Facebook.

Any other followers of APILN will also note the classic 'done a poo' pose, which I assume wasn't mentioned in the caption for fear of riling fans of THE Leeds Utd.

Made me chuckle anyway.....

Colour blind here too.

Most of the green's used in football shirts don't cause me any issues.
I suspect I would struggle with a very dark green and similarly dark brown - but that's not a common problem.

I get very confused when people refer to lime-green shirts which look like bright yellow to me.

Exactly that, I have no chance when the keeper or referee wears lime green and one of the teams is in yellow or orange.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

I would also add that i have absolutely no problem telling Limes and Lemons apart, so why is it "Lime-green"?

Just saw a picture of Real Sociedad’s new home shirt which prompted me to have a look at what else Macron had released so far and as someone who isn’t a huge fan of their shirts, I have to say I was impressed with quite a few. Too many to post all on here but thought I’d share a few personal highlights.

That Atletico Mineiro shirt is a beauty, I think I shall be adding one of those to my collection as soon as I can find somewhere to ship one to the UK for me.

I am in Brazil if I can help in anyway?

If there’s any potential to consider sending to the UK could you let me know as well?, the shirt is phenomenal

Yes no problem.
I have opted to support Palmeiras over here but fancy one of those myself.

Man Utd, Arsenal and Liverpool went retro.

Everton and Chelsea went a bit modern. Tottenham is simple and plain like their premier league season I guess.

I think Macron have moved on a bit since the days when they were seen as a cheap lower league supplier.

I was in A Coruna a couple of years ago and went to Deportivo's ground (about 200 yards from the beach!). The shirts in the club shop there looked good but even then they were around €70 each which was way more than our own Nike shirts at the time.

Whilst I thought the Spurs monstrosity was indeed horrid (a spillage in the paint aisle of B&Q) the Liverpool one is truly shocking! Also surprised that Nike have included their name on it - we've only ever (I think) had the 'swoosh' and nothing else, on all the kits including training kits.
