Kits That Would Be Banned In Serie A From 22-23 Season
Oct 24, 2021, by Chris
From the 2022-2023 season, green kits will be banned in Italian Serie A to prevent problems with the virtual ad system used for television. Which teams and kits will be affected?
The reason for green kits being banned is the way the virtual TV ad boards are generated - Green kits may cause a color clashing with the grass on the pitch that may let players with green kits ahead of the virtual ad disappear.
Serie A Green Kits Ban - Which Kits Will Be Affected & Which Won't
The Serie A Green Kits Ban has some important exclusions - home and goalkeeper kits are not affected.
Will teal be allowed?
Serie A will not allow kits that have green as a dominant or important color, while green accents should be permitted.
It is also reported that if a kit incorporates three different colors, a non-green shade must be applied as the dominant color.
Home and keeper kits are excluded
We have taken classic Serie A kits and tried to determine which would be banned and which would be allowed. For example, U.S. Sassuolo Calcio will still be allowed to wear a green/black striped kit, while other teams won't be able to have such as kit as away/third jersey.
Serie A Ban of Green Kits - Facts
- Effective from 2022-23 season
- Banned because of virtual ad TV technology
- Home & goalkeeper kits excluded
- Green still allowed as accent / secondary color
What is not yet certain is where exactly the "green shade begins". The future will show if teal kits will be allowed, for example.
What do you think of Serie A's ban on green kits? Do you also look forward to seeing all the Serie A 2022-23 kits? Comment below.

Nottingham Forest Women Wear Training Tops vs Southampton to Avoid Color Blindness Clash
In an unusual kit occurrence, Nottingham Forest Women took to the pitch wearing training tops instead of their official 26-27 away kit during their match against Southampton Women at St Mary's Stadium on Sunday. The late switch was implemented specifically to avoid color blindness visibility issues that would have arisen from a red-versus-green clash. Huge thanks to @david_g_cooper for the spot.
With Southampton wearing their traditional red-and-white home kit, Nottingham Forest's primary alternative option - their green 26-27 away shirt - posed a serious dilemma. Red and green kit pairings are strictly discouraged by governing bodies and accessibility guidelines because they become indistinguishable to individuals with red-green color vision deficiency, which affects roughly 8% of men and 0.5% of women.
Since Nottingham Forest's home shirt is also red, the club resorted to dark training gear with match numbers applied on the back to provide adequate contrast for players, referees, and spectators.
Forest could have worn their light blue kit, but apparently they did not bring it.

Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has officially debuted the upcoming Nike Air Max 95 'Liverpool', a special-edition release designed in partnership with JD Sports ahead of their annual 1.10 Day celebration.

The shoe features mismatched accents of dockland-inspired 'Rust Factor' orange alongside 'Steam' green referencing the city's Liver Birds, complemented by a reflective brick pattern, a River Mersey map printed across the insole, a custom 'Liverpool' tongue badge, and 'SCOUSE' lettering visible beneath the outsole.
