Quote:Back in 2010 on Thanksgiving Day,  both the Patriots and Lions wore throwback uniforms with color jerseys. The following link will take you to some photos from that game. The color blind issue is something I don't recall being mentioned at the time. I'm not sure how many people can't tell the difference between red and blue, compared to red (Bills) and green (Jets). It's best moving forward that one team wears white:

 

In those pictures, the Lions have gray pants and the Patriots have white pants with stripes. Easy to tell the difference, unlike last night when the jerseys and pants where the same color for both teams.

 

Red vs.blue is easier to see than red vs. green, which probably is why there weren't too many complaints about that game lacking a white team.
