NFL To Factor In Color Blindness For Future “Color Rush” Games

I didn’t have a problem with the jerseys, but I can understand if a few fans became nauseated at the sharp colors on their televisions Thursday night.

According to Pro Football Talk, the NFL and Nike will analyze and look for better ways to make the entertainment enjoyable for fans who may be colorblind.

“The Color Rush jerseys are a test for four games this season, the first of which was last night,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told PFT by email. “We did test the jerseys this summer on field and on television. The standard television test did not account for color blindness for fans at home that became apparent last night. We will enhance our testing to include a color blindness analysis to better address this issue in the future.”

The next three “Color Rush” games will be week 11 Titans-Jaguars — Week 12 Panthers-Cowboys, and Week 15 Bucs-Rams.. And since it’s a “test” for this year, there’s no guarantee that the “Color Rush” will be back in 2016.
