colour clashes

[befair]

I've been saying this for years, not just regarding colour-blindedness; the GAA shows no consideration for the elderly or those with visual impairment. In the Down championship we had the ludicrous situation a few years ago where Castlewellan (green jerseys, black shorts) played Bryansford (green jerseys, back shorts, jersey with a gold hoop). Not only spectators, but players were getting mixed up and passing to the opposition. Never happens in soccer or rugby. https://www.rte.ie/news/2026/0602/1576245-munster-gaa-colour-blind/

Armagh v Derry 2023 was brutal, didnt notice much at the game at the time, but trying watch it on TV after was horrible.

At least Derry went back to the red hoop that goes the whole way round, instead of the awful half hoop.

RTE Sport had a story on it today. Red v Green is one of the main challenges. Munster GAA will ensure it doesn't happen next year if Cork play Limerick (too late for Sunday).

Yeah I think we've a few colour blind lads so always change to black against Kerry for example.

My brain can't compute what is happening when it's Cork vs Galway, especially in a sunny day.

I've said it a million times before. America solved this problem decades ago. Why it's so hard to bring in here I just do not know .

Home team should wear a shirt that's no less than 90% white. Away team should wear a shirt that's no more than 10% white. No exceptions, no nearlies. Just make it the law.

Spare a thought for the Lilywhites when Kildare are the away team - they'll be confuddled

A small but important thing here is shorts.

If one of Cork or Limerick switched from white to match their shirt colour, it's a lot easier to distinguish

The notion that it's "too late" for Sunday is ridiculous. If it's an issue next year then it's an issue this year. Surely one of them has a black or white away jersey that can be used?

O'Neills (other manufacturers are also available) will be making more coin next year.

Afaik all sporting leagues have a variation of this theme - some are white / light colours at home, some are white / light colours away. League consent is required for any change.

NBA is a little different, they've a colour wheel or something like that, and the away team's colour has to be on the opposite side of the wheel.

Galway v Westmeath next weekend would be fun if the both wear their usual kits

[Baile Brigín 2]

I know in professional soccer all home and away shirts go into the league and they run the permutations. I have some vague recollection of Drogheda getting told their away kit was too close to their home and they had to redesign.

Cork have a white away kit. Limerick a black one.

Does the referee have a say here?
