Thursday Night Football

[Bob Denman]

Did you watch that game last night? When I saw those uniforms; I told the Missus that it would give some folks trouble...
Here's what I found in the news about it, along with a video simulating what some color-blind folks would have had to contend with... :shocked:

Thanks Bob! Dead on!! I couldn't tell if there were interceptions or who was running for what and where. The helmets were even hard to distinguish. I showed the video to my wife and she finally understood what it's like for those with red/green color blindness. Cool post, thanks!

I remember helping a friend with some wiring on an old Arctic Cat snowmobile...
He kept asking me to point out the red and green wires; they seemed to be the ones that we were working on.
I asked him why, and he said, "Didn't you know? I'm colorblind." :shocked:
I had know him for about 20 years at that time, and never knew... pps:

That is the reason that all traffic lights are in the same order.

The uniform color changes and throwback versions are just atrocious IMO. My least favorites are the Pittsburgh "prison" ones and the Packers.

I also nominate the Buccaneers for the ugliest "normal" ones. The Browns win second place--IMO again.

​At last the Browns are highly ranked in something!

Cool

Thanks for sharing. I'll return the favor. Ever wonder why your lawn always looks a lot greener at dusk? Because green is the last color our eyes can detect. So as the light fades all the other colors become muted, except green which still kind of pops.

Hope he did't drive or fly! Was that a green light or red? :shocked:
