Jets alter 'Color Rush' uniforms to accommodate color-blind fans

The New York Jets have taken a different approach to the NFL's "Color Rush" program ahead of Thursday night's game against the Buffalo Bills, in consideration of their color-blind fans.
Last year, the Jets sported an all-green "Color Rush" uniform that made it difficult for some visually impaired viewers to distinguish between players and teams, and several viewers complained to the NFL.
"In the spirit of participating in the program, we have tried to do some things to honor the initiative - the white facemask, the white gloves, the white shoes and the white socks with no stripes," Jets senior director of commerce Chris Pierce told the team's official website.
The Bills will don their all-red kits as planned.
