I suppose not everybody can have the most easily recognisable
and BEST rugby shirt in the world.....

having a recognisable shirt i am not entirely certain helps with
colour blindness, the condition has a broad spectrum of
different ways it affects people. some people will only see
quins wearing a dark colour for example so makes no different to
them with quarters, others will be ok, it depends how the
condition affects them.

Look at Farrells face in that 1 minute video... "We're Saracens,
how did that happen?"

As someone who has colour blindness, I welcome anything that
helps. Mine is not too severe, but there is a good demonstration
of types of colour blindness here:

I generally prefer teams to wear their first choice shirts, but
some thought is needed. Around 8% of the male population (fewer
women) have some form of colour blindness. I have a relative
who doesn't bother to watch some games as they're pretty much
impenetrable to him.
Here's a couple of examples of how some games can look to people
who are colour blind:

Shockingly, being colorblind has its advantages. The University
of Edinburgh discovered that individuals with red-green
colorblindness are better at seeing camouflage. Color can
actually impede our ability to detect patterns and textures and
one can detect shapes better when the room is darkened
