WEEKLY WHINE

Rush to visibility

So, the first full season of Colour Rush activity in the NFL has completed. How did you enjoy it? Were you able to distinguish the two teams every week?

We here at GoobNet thought that for an obvious cash grab, it was actually somewhat well executed. For its part, the NFL announced that its portion of the proceeds from replica jersey sales would go to the NFL Foundation, supporting youth programmes around the United States.

Nike, of course, made no such announcement about its portion of the proceeds.

On the field, the best looking game was clearly the Denver-San Diego game on THU 13 OCT 2016, and the worst of the bunch was the Jacksonville-Tennessee game on THU 27 OCT 2016.

But the Colour Rush programme, of course, could have been so much more. Previously, we gave you the opportunity to select your own colour combinations for any possible NFL game, and we challenged you to come up with combinations that met the needs of those with colour vision deficiencies.

Now, for the first time ever, we present to you the opportunity to select your own colour combinations and see how they would look under certain types of colour vision deficiencies. Simply drag two teams of your choice onto the home and away boxes below. You will then be presented with several kit choices for each team. Once you select a pairing, click the options to simulate how your selected kits would look to those with protanopia, deuteranopia, tritanopia, or achromatopsia.
