The Serie A he did flop as well on ball. After weeks of protestshere comes official reverse regarding the Puma Orbita Hi-Visthe ball orange which had been introduced for the winter, with the aim of improving the visibility in case of rain, fog or snow. It’s a shame that the new color created quite a few problems for viewers, making it annoying to follow. Above all, however, the orange balloon it is practically invisible to those affected by it color blindness: the color of the ball and that of the field on TV overlap, making it impossible to follow a match for approximately 2.5 million Italians.
The flop is official, he certified it Ezio Maria Simonellipresident of the Serie A League: “We have received many right protests on this, there are people who can’t see it for the color blindness. We have asked our supplier to advance the supply of new balls“, he explained to the microphones of Radio Anch’io Sport are Rai Radio 1.
After the criticisms, here is the change of color. Although a few more days of the championship will pass before the definitive remedy is made: “For each match you need 25 balls, that’s it 500 balls per week plus what we give to the teams for the workouts. They put all the new balls with a color that can be seen, but it will take some time before this orange can be replaced,” explained Simonelli, who then concluded: “One not a happy choice. We will return to giallo or to bianco“.
A sigh of relief for thousands of fans: their voice has been heard. Stefano From Pietropresident of the association ‘How the color blind see’, was among the first to raise the alarm: “For the color blind, the orange of the ball overlaps to the green of the grass, so that’s pretty much it impossible observe its movements”. A huge problem, especially for television viewing: “The three-dimensionality guaranteed by live viewing is missing.”
In reality, however, also the yellow ballwhich has already been used for several years in the winter months, is not optimal for color blindness. “The ideal, given that you can’t use a white ball in winter, would be to choose one nero o marrone“, De Pietro explained in recent weeks. It could be one chromatic twist for the future: to make something positive come from this flop.
