1. Not everyone disagrees.
2. Let me worry about the bottom dollar.
3. I think the color scheme in the example will work for colorblind people.

What do you think of that color scheme? Would it work for you as an alternative to red=bad, blue=good?

I ran this through through this website and it should work find for someone colorblind. This image is a simulation of how it would look to someone colorblind.

Oh, and these are only for skaters for now. I'll hopefully get to goalies soon but I'll probably do team cards next.

If you want to use or share these feel free but follow the terms of use as shown next to the player card on the players page.

Mostly, provide a link back and/or acknowledgement of the source (The Stanley Cap), don't overburden our servers with unapproved hotlinks, and fair use rules apply.

Here is a sample player card for sharp shooter Pavel Dorofeyev where you can clearly see he has had a hard accurate shot for a few seasons now. He's not much of a skater though.

Not good for color blind people which is why I think people use blue instead of green.

Sure.

Red also often indicates high intensity and blue low intensity. McDavid is a high intensity offense player.

Also, blue is a cool colour, so a team should be cool on acquiring that player. Red is a warm colour, and teams should be hot to acquire the player.

Lots of ways to interpret colour.

It actually might be better as it can be an indicator of when the player is skating, how often do they do so at high speed.

Portrait is also generally better for social media.

It is bursts above 20mph per mile skated. Bursts above 20mph makes no sense because it isn't adjusted for ice time and I can't be sure exactly what the NHL qualifies as ES to get ice time, but adjusting for distance skated works.

Blame the late Chris Snow for this. He preferred red being good as it tends to pop a bit more than blue, especially for lighter/pinkish tones.

I'll also play around with the black borders. I'll see how they look removing them or making them grey or narrowing them to 1 pixel from two.
