In a bid to tackle the ongoing issue of kit clashes, the EFL has released a statement confirming that home club's will now be able to wear their ‘away’ or third kit for matches where a clash may occur.
Kit clashes make it difficult for people who are colour blind to differentiate between the kits worn by both teams, and can make it difficult for people to follow the action, with the amendment also allowing Clubs to further ‘mix and match’ elements of their registered kits in order to avoid such issues.
The EFL will also play a more active role in helping Clubs identify where a potential ‘colour blind kit clash’ may occur to give them adequate notice so that all necessary arrangements can be made in advance.
