Colorblind need not watch

[red321]

So, apparently color blind folks had some issues watching last night's game.

Holy crap! I can't tell who's who

[red321]

First time I watched it I wondered why all the Jet players were blocking each other

[Brandon]

It was rough. Luckily I'm not that bad with red/green color blindness.

[Tank]

yeah, i thought about that too. LOL NFL.

 

heard a brief bit from dan patrick this morning as i was pulling into work. apparently they've done something completely abominable to the jaguars uniforms. they're some kind of puky looking tan and they were trying to come up with names for the color. they had stuff like "#1 overall pick tan" and "3 and out brown" and some other clever ones. they're wearing them this sunday in london and it should be pretty fugly.

Wow, that is bad.  I am chalking most of it up to resolution/color balance of the picture/video.  Because I don't think the Jets endzone is that blue.  

[Brandon]

Strange you saw that because I rarely see the Jets in the endzone

[sneaky_flute]

I don't really understand the controversy. Had a team with green jerseys never faced an opposing team wearing red before? 

[red321]

all green vs all red...pants and tops...so for colorblind folks it was all grey vs all grey

[Schildog]

go bills!

[Brandon]

White helmets and white jersey numbers, plus similar stripes down the pants.

All while on green turf, which I believe makes it worse for red/green color blindness. It at least accentuates it.

[Adam]

Watched the highlights on cbs's site. It wasn't that bad

After looking at that picture I have come to the conclusion that I'm colorblind.

[Tank]

the colorblind uniforms of peace.

They went with a solid diarrhea color

 

[Tank]

who's the genius that's signing off on this crap? looks exactly like yesterday's chili.

[Ray McKigney]

They went with a solid diarrhea color

 

 

That Jaguars need to decide on a helmet color. The two colored helmets look absolutely ridiculous.

[Brandon]

Not as ridiculous as Bortles having a captains patch

[ELEVEN]

That Jaguars need to decide on a helmet color. The two colored helmets look absolutely ridiculous.

Those helmets look like an old car up on blocks in some redneck peckerwood compound. Perfect for Jackassville Florida.

they look like a 4th grade art project.

 

absolutely hideous.

For those who haven't seen them. Looks like baby shit brown to me.

Having grown up there, I don't share your assessment of the city, and I don't see what a bad color combination has to do with the city. Someone in the NFL office had to sign off on the idea or it wouldn't have happened.

 

If it is truly as bad as you say, perhaps you can explain why the city is always near the top of lists of most desirable cities to live in.
