Colour blind fans were unable to watch the Liverpool vs Ludogorets match

Red-Green colour blind fans couldn’t distinguish between the Liverpool and Ludogorets kits

Liverpool returned to the UEFA Champions League after five long seasons. And they even won their first match 2-1 against Bulgarian side Ludogorets at Anfield on Tuesday night.

But it wasn’t the best of returns for a certain section of the fans watching the game on television? Why? Because Liverpool played in their traditional all-red kit while Ludogorets played in their all-green kit.

While that is normal (well, maybe not an all-green kit), some viewers had a tough time following the game.

Colour blind viewers couldn’t distinguish between Liverpool and Ludogorets

Fans who suffer from red-green colour blindness (also known as Deuteranomaly) couldn’t make out which team was Liverpool and which one was Ludogorets.

To these viewers, both teams appeared to be wearing identical kits!

Red-Green colour blind people can’t see the number in the centre of this image.

Colour blind fans’ reactions

Here are a few tweets from viewers who struggled to follow the action.

So I'm slightly colour blind, struggle with reds and greens. Liverpool v Ludogorets isn't doing wonders for my eyes.

Liverpool vs Ludogorets is not an easy match to watch if you're colour blind with red and green. Someone change your strip please!
