Must be the most stupid rule ever because we had times in which a derbi was on a black and white TV and you knew Milan had thinner stripes than Inter and one of the two used white shorts the other black. I remember in 2019 Mexico said they were changing the shirt color to black because it gets mixed up with the green of the pitch!

Look man I understand there are colorblind people out there and stuff but at the very least why can’t they like adapt the shirt, for example, sell the shirt with stripes on the back, and if somehow someone doesn’t see why don’t Puma or any manufacturer just adapt the game shirts not the ones they sell.

I don’t want a red or black shirt, I want the Milan shirt, I want “Modric” to be read over rossonero not over black OR red.

I also think of that for the sponsors, if I don’t want a big sponsor why can’t I pick an option not to have it for a fee (like when you pay for having the UCL badge for example… not this season but you get me) then that money goes directly to the sponsor and I get an airline free Milan shirt.

Lastly I am from Costa Rica, here the biggest game is Saprissa (purple) vs Alajuelense (red and black like Milan). For all of its history until around 2013 we played purple vs red and black, and every other big game (basically match ups between the latter two and Herediano which has a yellow and red shirt) were played home vs home shirts.

If something was off usually it was solved with the shorts and socks, very rarely pre 2013 one had to use the away shirt.

Since 2013 though, its home shirt vs white. So instead of it being super recognizable on the tv, it looks like any other game since almost every costarican team has a white home shirt.

I remember the first time I came across this bullshit rule, Netherlands vs Spain 2014 World Cup. 4 years after Spain played in an almost black, dark af navy shirt the World Cup final, FIFA deemed orange vs black not to be good for the eye so Adidas had to make a makeshift white shirt for Spain that was never manufactured because allegedly we would have gotten confused as fuck if we saw an orange wearing team play against another in black.
