Soccer-EFL says home teams can wear away kits to avoid clashes for colour blind fans

English Football League (EFL) teams will be able to wear away or third kits when playing at home from next season to help colour blind supporters.

The governing body of the three divisions below the Premier League approved the changes to its rules during its annual general meeting on Friday.

"A home club will now be able to wear its 'away' or third kit where a clash may occur that would make it difficult for people who are colour blind to differentiate between the kits worn by both teams," the EFL said in a statement.

"The amendment also allows clubs to further 'mix and match' elements of their registered kits in order to avoid kit clashes."

The EFL added that it would work with clubs to identify situations where such clashes may occur.

"Fantastic news," Colour Blind Awareness wrote on Twitter. "The colour blindness kit rule change proposed by the EFL has been approved at their AGM today!"

The EFL also approved the use of five substitutes per game in the 2022-23 season, following the Premier League's lead, which voted in favour of the same in March.

Why celebrity chat shows remain India’s favourite way to peek behind the curtain

Highlights:

  • Chat shows let us see stars up close.
  • It’s not gossip, it’s small personal moments.
  • Simi, Karan, and Kapil all changed the style.
  • OTT and regional shows give more relaxed chats.
  • Audiences keep watching because stars feel real.

So, Kajol and Twinkle Khanna’s show, Two Much, is already near its fourth episode. And people keep asking: why do we love watching stars sit on sofas so much? It’s not the gossip. Not really. We’re not paying for the gossip. We’re paying for the glimpse. For the little wobble in a voice, a tiny apology, a family story you recognise. It’s why Simi’s white sofa mattered once, why Karan’s sofa rattled the tabloids, and why Kapil’s stage made everyone feel at home. The chat show isn’t dead. It just keeps changing clothes.
