Freiburg to Play With Away Kit at Home to Help Players with Red-Green Color Blindness
Feb 2, 2024, by Chris
- Reason for Kit Change: Freiburg will wear their white away kit at home to help players with red-green color blindness distinguish between teams.
- Player Colorblindness: Some Freiburg players have trouble differentiating between red and green, prompting the kit change.
- Prevalence of Colorblindness: Approximately one in ten men and a smaller percentage of women have some form of color vision deficiency.
German Bundesliga SC Freiburg will play in its white away shirts in its upcoming game against VfB Stuttgart to help players with red-green color blindness differentiate between the two teams.
Freiburg to Play Away Kit at Home to Help Red-Green Colorblind Players
This decision was taken after Freiburg coach Christian Streich revealed that some of his players have difficulty distinguishing between red and green colors. The team had previously worn yellow shirts for the same reason.
Freiburg's home kit clashes both wth Stuttgart's home and away kits, so Stuttgart can only wear its green kit.
Statistics show that almost one in ten men suffer from color vision deficiency, while the same is true for only 0.8 percent of women. By swapping shirts, Streich aims to ensure that everyone on the pitch can concentrate on the game without any confusion.

Amiens SC Add Pink Details to 26-27 Home Kit for Pink October
French side Amiens SC have introduced a special update to their 26-27 Puma home kit in support of the annual Octobre Rose (Pink October) breast cancer awareness and screening campaign. Debuted during their 3-0 victory against FC Villefranche at the Stade Crédit Agricole de la Licorne, the club's traditional black-and-white halved home strip was revamped with vibrant pink details.
The customized kit features eye-catching pink names and squad numbers on the back, along with pink-tinted sponsor graphics, including Intersport and Igol. Completing the tribute is a small pink ribbon placed prominently on the right chest just above the Puma cat branding.
Amiens SC confirmed that the special pink printing is not a one-match appearance; the team will also wear the modified kit during their upcoming away match against Valenciennes FC later this month.

Adidas Reuses Spain’s 2026 Training Kits
During recent UEFA Nations League training sessions, Spain was spotted using old training jerseys with one star removed and two additional stars printed above the logo. The imprint of the old star remains visible on the shirts.
This case is reminiscent of another interesting situation involving the Argentina futsal team at the 2021 Futsal World Cup. Despite being the defending champions, Argentina was not provided bespoke kits by Adidas and had to use standard jerseys, from which two stars were removed and replaced with one, as they had only won the Futsal World Cup once.
Big thanks to @whatthekit_x for the collages.
