The NFL has admitted that they failed to account for color blindness in testing out their “Color Rush” uniform experiment, but will do so in the future.
The NFL debuted the full-color uniforms during the Thursday night game between the Bills and the Jets. Unbeknownst to the league, though, fans with red-green color blindness couldn’t tell the difference between the two teams.
The league has accepted blame for the fiasco and says they’ll account for color blindness in future testings, according to an official statement.

The NFL hates this sort of preventable PR headache, so you can bet that the future testing will not let something like this happen again.
