Apparently this is why there usually is a team wearing white jerseys: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000...-jetsbills

 

It was especially bad tonight because the colors were red and green, so maybe more colorblind men will recognize us in our gold uniforms. (Red-green is the most common type.) But some guys likely will have a problem next week too. Hopefully Nike will hear complaints such as the tweets in this article so they will never do it again. You would think the NFL knew better because there are some colorblind players - former and current (after all, it is a men's sport). For all I know maybe there are colorblind coaches too. Alternate uniforms are great, but please NFL, make sure there is always a white team!
