(Reuters) - Saracens and Sale Sharks will wear their away kits in the Premiership final this month to avoid a kit clash that would have posed a problem for colour blind fans, Premiership Rugby said on Wednesday.

Saracens traditionally would have worn their black home kit as top seeds while Sale play in red-maroon, but the colour contrast was highlighted by Colour Blind Awareness as fans with a vision deficiency would not be able to tell them apart.
