Colorblind issue fixed with new mono uniforms

There will be no colorblind game this year.

Nike unveiled new Color Rush monochromatic uniforms for all 32 teams on Tuesday but also indicated that some teams will wear all white if the matchup of color jerseys would have caused issues for the approximately 10 million Americans who are colorblind.

Last November, the Buffalo Bills wore all red against the New York Jets, who were in all green, making the teams nearly indistinguishable to colorblind viewers.

This year, the Bills will again wear all red, but the Jets will be in white when the program kicks off on Thursday.
