NFL: 'Color Rush' didn't account for color blind

The NFL's "Color Rush" campaign hit a snag on Thursday night when hundreds of color-blind fans across the country complained that they couldn't tell who was who during the Bills' 22-17 win over the Jets.

According to the National Eye Institute, about 8 percent of men are red/green color blind and that was a huge issue for Thursday's game because the Bills were wearing all-red and the Jets were wearing all-green.

The NFL admitted on Friday that when the league was putting the "Color Rush" uniforms through the testing phases, it forgot to account for color-blind fans.
