ITFC goalkeeper jerseys 09:23 - Nov 17 with 460 views

Have noticed that the 2 colourways this season are quite dulled down and tend to merge in with the background.

Most goalkeeping jerseys appear to be very bright.

Are bright jerseys some kind of tactic?

Bright colours appear ‘larger’ than dull colours.

Do bright jerseys put off attacking players more than ones that fade into the background?

Or do dull ones lull the opposition into a false sense of security resulting in less clinical strikes?

I’m still a little drunk from last night and this has been bugging me since last night’s conversation so have posted here to release the quandary from my deteriorating mind.

There was a whole load of debate about this in the 90's hence the fashion for those garish kits.

On the recent Quickly Kevin with Neville, he talked about the grey kit incident and how SAF employed some eye specialist to help gain an extra edge. It was the kit manufacturers that pushed the grey kit against the advice apparently.

I'd say there is something in it, but how impactful it is, is probably fairly negligible and more like a placebo effect. Certainly if you've got a giant like Schmichel careering at you and looking like a cross between a fridge and something out of Woodstock you might scuff the odd one.

Campos designed all of his kits and that brilliant one for Mexico in USA 94 was designed with this idea in mind.
