Who is going to be the first fan to take a colour blindness case to the IFO? Keep us in the loop please!

More fantastic news, if true 👇. The Welsh team wore away kit vs Ireland to avoid a colour blind kit clash. We're investigating!
Can also confirm for those doubting the reason Wales wore their yellow away shirts in Dublin on Sunday, it was actually 100% because of the colourblindness issue that would of been caused by Wales wearing red against Ireland’s green.

This is so odd, nothing to do with us! Not all 'green' kits are an issue for colour blind ppl. All-red kits & kit 'clashes' are arguably worse. This will definitely help in some instances, but the mixed messaging here is extremely worrying & cld undermine what we're trying to do!

For colour blind people it’s not so much a problem confusing red with yellow (most colour blind people can see yellow) it’s whether or not they can distinguish the card against background colours which is important. Even more important is to be able to tell kit colours apart.
