You appear to be having this conversation on your own. Every time I try to watch ice hockey I see a team in white with blue shoulder pads, and a team in white with red shoulder pads. When the camera zooms out, I see a load of white and have no idea who is playing for which side. This is a problem of being colour-blind, which is me and 8% of men worldwide, plus 5% of women, thats a lot of lost viewers, and with so many colours to choose from why not make it more obvious?
