Absolute freaking genius. Red/green lights automatically come on for taken/free parking spaces. Never seen this before and makes finding a space so much easier, especially when itโs full of giant SUVs.
๐
And the excuse for this kit clash/blend
@ManCity
is....? You must have known this kit would discriminate against colour blind fans because PL would have told you.

Ok
@rugbyworldcup
the time for us to play nice is officially over. Last week we asked you nicely not to do this. How dare you exclude millions of people? Stand by!
@WelshRugbyUnion
@Springboks
Update on yesterday's inaccessible game - the relevant people at Premier League, Club, FA & broadcaster are now fully aware of your frustrations & anger. We can't promise what will happen next tho'๐ง. We need you to keep writing to all the โฝ๏ธorganisations at the highest level thx
So proud to be associated with
@UEFA
and
@FA
in making massive changes in the world of football for the benefit of people with colour blindness. See the article at p46 of new UEFA Direct magazine here
Colour blind people please help ๐
Weโre helping develop a product & need to label it so you can clearly understand what colour it is.
This colour is Lilac, a light purple. Please reply & let us know which name label youโd prefer

Thx ๐ RT
A huge thank to you all involved in helping to raise awareness of colour blindness

will wear the navy shirt and shorts with black socks at Swansea City on Saturday, as the Club lends extra consideration to fans with Colour Vision Deficiency.

This is potentially HUGE NEWS for colour blind supporters. ๐ Fan given refund from the Independent Football Ombudsman because he was 'deprived of seeing the match'. ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Who is going to be the first fan to take a colour blindness case to the IFO? Keep us in the loop please!
Exclusive: A Bristol City supporter has been refunded for his ticket for the Robins' EFL Cup defeat at Forest Green Rovers back in August following a ruling by the Independent Football Ombudsman.

@BBCBreakfast
donโt forget to mention the colour blind version for
#1in12men
#1in200women
who struggle with the original colour scheme. Itโs in the settings and changes the green and yellow squares (which look the same if youโre colour blind) to blue and orange, Thx ๐
Wishing a wonderful festive period to our followers & supporters ๐
After 2 stressful & intense years, for the 1st time we're closing the office for >2 weeks. We'll be back on 10th Jan, but of course we'll be keeping an eye out here for issues which crop up over the holidays!
Back in

this pm to discuss access to sport for colour blind people with our *colour blind* Sports Minister
@StuartAndrew
and fabulous
@LizTwistMP
without whom we wouldnโt have this amazing opportunity. Wish us luck! ๐ ๐ค
Can also confirm for those doubting the reason Wales wore their yellow away shirts in Dublin on Sunday, it was actually 100% because of the colourblindness issue that would of been caused by Wales wearing red against Irelandโs green.

This is so odd, nothing to do with us! Not all 'green' kits are an issue for colour blind ppl. All-red kits & kit 'clashes' are arguably worse. This will definitely help in some instances, but the mixed messaging here is extremely worrying & cld undermine what we're trying to do!
๐ค interesting decision to allow both the ENG & SWE goalkeepers to wear โyellowโ kits just like the Swedish outfield kits
@uefa
@NaddelKe
#WEURO2022
#ENGSWE
. This doesnโt work for
#1in12men
#1in200women
spectators. Please address this via kit regs, itโs not difficult!
@rawbridges
Hereโs the simulated colour blind version on the right
@Everton
. When youโll have 1.5 colour blind players in your squad why put yourselves at a disadvantage just to benefit your kit sponsor? Assuming you missed the
#TACBIS
research?
@ManCity
same applies to your squad too!
If you say so! We'd like to be able to share in this knowledge please.
#1in12men
#1in200women
can't read it
@TomTugendhat
& we're getting very, very annoyed at all the inaccessible information on

@PHE_uk
Remember that one of the main signs of bowel cancer is blood in your ๐ฉ.
Colour blind people,
#1in12men
&
#1in200women
, will struggle to notice this due to blood๐ฉธappearing the same 'brown' colour as ๐ฉ.
These kits are very important & will save lives. Pl share ๐
@bowelcanceruk
Sorry not impressed
@Specsavers
, not only because the images are terrible but also because you won't ensure all your outlets screen all children for colour blindness on first visit. Please leave the bandwagon until you are entitled to be on it

#ShameOnYou
Did you know, almost 4.5% of the world's population is colour blind?!
Have you ever wondered what the world looks like for those people? Well, on
#ColourBlindAwarenessDay
, we can show you ๐
These are useless for UK's 3 million colour blind people (
#1in12men
#1in200women
) & against Govt's own accessibility laws
@nickeardleybbc
& will also be inaccessible to same proportion of Ministers & MPs. Unacceptable. We've already had inaccessible

Burnley to wear one off white change kit at West Ham tomorrow night. Premier League said the Clarets couldnโt wear green strip (which they did wear at Villa ๐คทโโ๏ธ) Thoughts on the kit?
#twitterclarets
#utc
Sadly most people on our timeline were expecting a kit clash, because we all know most
@premierleague
clubs DON'T CARE and deliberately ignore the specific advice they are given by Premier League staff.
Thx for covering the recent colour blind kit clash fiascos

@JacquiOatley
! For info there is UEFA/FA Guidance (we wrote it) & PL, EFL & Clubs are aware well in advance but it happens a LOT. 3m ppl in UK are colour blind, 8% of men. More info in next tweets
Another kit clash in

wearing their white kit
@FA
? This is against your own guidance. Different shorts donโt help
#1inEveryMaleSquad
affected players btw
Why
@crayola
have you decided to stop marking your products with their colour name? We have almost run out of felt-tip markers with the names on & your 'updated' products no longer have them. 300 million people worldwide are colour blind!
#1in12boys
#1in200girls
Just wanted to say, after all of the upsetting tweets over the last few days, there are some excellent
#teachers
and
#optometrists
out there who are keen to learn and to help colour blind children as much as they can. ๐๐We just need a LOT more of both!
