Former Premier League player Matt Holland has welcomed the decision to allow EFL clubs to change their kits in order to help colour-blind people.
Holland, who played for the likes of Ipswich and Charlton during his career, is one of the approximate three million people in the UK who are colour-blind. The new changes, which come into force next season, will allow clubs to consult each other and if necessary wear an away shirt to reduce the chances of a kit clash.
A statement released by the EFL earlier this month said: "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.
