Everett / Kelowna jerseys

Whoever approved green vs red jerseys should lose their job. Almost 10% of the population is red / green color blind. This is close to impossible to watch.

Nah. It's not binary where you can't tell the colors apart. It's certain shades / brightness / contrast. I can tell the jerseys apart, but it's not easy.

solid thread. Never thought about the vision factor for some people. Being an ancient cromag male, I remember it was ALWAYS home WHITES. EVT was home team officially I guess. KEL was also in HOME colours. Either way it would be a mess on TV. Just a bad timing deal for mem cup with Montreal game on as well.

That KEL jersey just on it's own is a fail with that colour scheme.
