The change will allow clubs to change strips to avoid potential kit-clashes that make it difficult for colour-blind people to distinguish between teams.
English Football League clubs will be allowed to wear 'away' and alternative kits at home next season to help colour-blind players, staff, officials, and fans distinguish between teams.EFL clubs will now be able to wear away, third, and alternative kits at home matches in order to help colour-blind people differentiate teams
The EFL passed the amendment at their annual general meeting on Friday. The change means that teams have more flexibility when choosing match-day kits to avoid clashes that may be problematic. The EFL said they will "play a more active role in helping clubs identify where a potential colour-blind kit clash may occur" and give the respective teams enough notice to arrange an alternative, which could include choosing different jersey, short, and sock combinations to ensure those with colour-blindness can adequately differentiate teams.
Other codes including international rugby union will also begin making kit adjustments to accommodate colour-blind players, staff, and fans.
