Why is it taking 4 years to implement?! It's been recognized as a problem and it's an easy fix

Many years ago it was the custom or tradition that yellow jerseys could only be worn by goalkeepers in internationals. Most goalkeepers wore green jerseys. I used to look forward to when Plymouth Argyle came to Ninian Park to see the City goalkeeper in his second kit. I think it was red but I could be mistaken. Was a long time ago.

The question could also be asked, why has it taken all these yrs to come to the fore?

Well yes that's also undoubtedly true, althoughI suppose you could say as a society we're gradually trying to be more understanding towards people's different needs. Once it's been recognized as an issue it seems weird to take so long to tell them to wear their away kit though

Ring once to chip it long, twice to smack the fecking thing.

Then colourblindness wouldn't be our biggest problem, tinnitus would!

Don’t please don’t it can be horrendous, a colleague of mine committed suicide due to his tinnitus.

Shiley Irish black shorts and Welsh white shorts would solve this problem? (or vice versa)

surely it's not beyond the realms of technology to digitally modify the Colour of teams shirts on the fly for televised games.
"press the red button now to see Wales playing in black"

The solution proposed is for teams that play in a light-coloured kit to use a dark-coloured second kit when a clash would happen and vice versa.

Re: Wales and Ireland to be banned from wearing red and green against each other

Some of our players seem to struggle with blue & blue alone, any ideas how to sort that out?

Go 5 and 5 outfield opposite kits might up our chances of finding a team mate.

Re: Wales and Ireland to be banned from wearing red and green against each other

Only against one team?? Again, any ideas how to sort our lot out?

Might have been the only team in Green in the league? Not sure just a guess.

Cardiff Hibs:shrug: mind you there’s some weird and wonderful away strips now, never thought I’d see us in pink although David Marshall very often sported a pink number.

Playing league games I'm guessing. Slightly obvious at that..

A mate who has red/green blindness says he has no trouble with Wales Ireland games as the green shirts are fairly bright anyway.
