What was happening there?

In the home game against FC Augsburg, SC Freiburg surprisingly competed in their yellow third jerseys.

Normally, the Breisgauer would have played in their red shirts as usual, but changed jerseys due to the opponent.

Since the FCA played in green jerseys in the Black Forest Stadium, there might have been a likelihood of confusion with a professional from the sports club.

Christian Streich confirms poor eyesight

The player suffered from red-green poor eyesight, said a spokesman for Freiburg.

"We said we had to change that," confirmed coach Christian Streich at Sky, "we didn't want to take that risk." The club did not disclose which player it was.
