Colour/visual issues in WOC

The shade/darkness of EASHL jerseys shown in the loading/selection screen do not match what appears in game at all. Any time there is off-white/blue/red it is basically a coin-flip whether it will look much lighter or much darker in-game, thus making jersey selection to match a combo of light/dark impossible. I have cycled through all the available colourblind options under accessibility and adjusted my brightness but nothing resolves this discrepancy. 

Similarly, jerseys with multiple colours including red/green and with dark shoulder caps become indiscernible at a glance. My WOC team has changed our jerseys to be entirely black and entirely white to combat this but in roughly 1/3 of games the colour/darkness similarities are problematic and render it impossible to make quick plays as I am stuck trying to figure out who is on which team. Drop-in is also completely unplayable due to the sun and shadows which are prominent and confuse any shades of blue/purple leaving me entirely guessing who my teammates are. 

An ideal colourblind setting would be to visually show a full white vs black in-game only for those with it enabled. 

Lastly, it would be great to be able to increase text/emblem size in the loading screen for WOC when entering a game. Player gamertags are too small to read and build emblems are too small to easily make out on a tv unless I stand directly next to it. I have large text size enabled in accessibility but these are not included it seems.

    Hey there. Are you talking about the colorblind setting or is this happening when using regular colors?

    In NHL 26 I haven't played without at least one of the filters on (I have tried them all), but the issue was in NHL 24&25 without the filter as well. I can check the consistency of this across the filters as needed next time I play. 

    I will include screenshots below from NHL 24 as the problem has been the same. In the example, our teal jerseys appear light in the main screen, very dark in the top left jersey preview, and even darker in-game (no photo sorry). The colourblind filters obviously aren't useful when the lightness/darkness of all colours change. For that reason I've cycled between the different filters but encounter the same problems with different colours depending on the filter. All the teals/off-whites/greys/reds/blues tend to show up either very dark or very light in-game regardless of how they appear in the previews.

    Often the upper left jersey selection preview does not match what appears in game, especially for reds/blues/greys which randomly seem to show much lighter or much darker and typically leaves us guessing whether to go light or dark (we've now switched to pure black/white jerseys for this reason but can't control other teams selection obviously).
