O/T:- Is this the worst kit since the war?

[ncfcog]

I am quite badly colour blind. Can't play snooker to save my life with the green, brown and reds all looking the same, I have even been known to cue up on the pink before.

Always found most home kits ok as they are bold colours and some have stripes or hoops but when the away kits come out I am lost. Sometimes it is the shorts that help work out which team it is. If it gets as far as only being able to tell the difference from the socks I give up.

My solution would be to have whatever shirt colour you like* but the home team plays in white shorts, away team in black shorts, or contrasting primary colours for the hip and trendy. Sorted for the ten percent of the male population with some degree of colour blindness.

* Well not red, obviously.

That must be very frustrating. I often wondered if Notts have had a particularly high percentage of players with colour blindness over recent years.

I think we are going to see more of this type of design on kits in the future. There was something mentioned the other day, can’t remember where, about players struggling due to colour blindness. Being creative with patterns on shirts might be how clubs start to overcome this.

During the war the navy, America's especially, experimented with "Dazzle" camouflage. The ships were painted with a variety of black and white checks and stripes designed to confuse submarines into not knowing which direction and speed the ship was travelling. Hopefully the sub's commander would either fire his torpedoes in the wrong direction or rise to the surface to have a better look. See more on Wikipedia.

Dress your team in Dazzle and confuse the opposition! Checks on the front and stripes on the back!

Jackal I have always considered your posts as superior to most on here but on the basis of that comment I have I am afraid relegated you to the subs bench. It's horrendous! I actually quite liked our one this year but the sponsors logo is awful

It's all subjective!

I think that was goal blindness.
