The Chicago Bulls are surprisingly leading the NBA's defending champs, the Miami, Heat 2-0. So, I was doing a little reading up on the 2007 NBA playoffs first round match up between the Miami Heat and the Chicago Bulls, and I came across the Game 1 scoreboard page. Surprisingly I saw this little graph on the page:

WARNING! Rant Ahead: Do you see the problem? Well it'll depend on your eye sight, your monitor settings, and the viewing environment. I've got a CRT monitor and the LCD from my laptop. I'm relatively young, but I'm Asian so my eyesight... not so great. Lastly, I usually have most of my lights on in the room, so it's well lit in here. On my LCD I can sort of distinguish between the two teams, but on my CRT. Forget about it... it looks like the same color to me. So I can only assume that the Heat are the bar on the left, and the Bulls are the bar on the right.

Seriously, there are so many colors to pick from, but red? for both teams? I know it's a different shade of red, #B22432 and #A40808... but come on. Really?!?! Ok, ok... I know they are both red because the team colors for the Bulls are red and the team colors for the Heat are red... but really. The teams have home jerseys and away jerseys for this exact reason... it's too easy to get confused when you have similar colors. At least they could try a throw back color.
