This weekend Manchester Utd played Middlesborough in the FA cup. We won’t talk about the result. However, so interesting that Utd changed the colour of their socks from black to white to make it easier for people with colour discrimination issues to enjoy the game. Above you can see a shot from the game with a simulation on the right of how it might look to a someone missing the L-class cone (red-green colour blind).

This comes just after I posted about the rugby game and the problem trying to discriminate between the red and green shorts of Wales and Ireland respectively. Given the news in that post that World Rugby is bringing in some legislation it does seem that colour blindness (as poor colour discrimination is often referred to) is finally being taken seriously.
