How many other testers watched the Newcastle game (UK football) at the weekend?

And immediately thought about accessibility testing in first few seconds.

Now consider if a player, linesperson or ultimately the referee happened to be colour blind, could have been chaos not just for the viewer.

Edit*** This will seem very random as I could not add a picture. Both Newcastle and Sunderland played in their home strips, this does not happen in league games but was allowed due to being an fa cup game.

I was confused at why you brought up the topic at first! :laughing:

I found an article on the topic of the colourblind issue with Sunderland v Newscastle kit clash.

I turned the image black + white, which might not be entirely accurate, but is probably a good representation of what colour blind people see.

To be honest - it was the first thing that crossed my mind!

Glad this has got some publicity, maybe the FA should take note. I am sure some players have been affected by this - But imagine they were on the Sunderland side based on the result :joy:
