Newcastle United and other striped shirt clubs could learn from animal kingdom, claims university study

Could learn from the animal kingdom the way to confuse their competitors – should they run fast enough.
Research shows that their predators may confuse by looking when they move 22, to be blurred.
To get out this, scientists at Newcastle University played praying mantises footage of celestial contours developed to imitate insects moving across a backdrop.
The motion was developed to be like the adventures of praying mantises.
The bugs, some of which were stripes, could move across the display at various speeds, with all the mantises monitoring them as if they were prey.
Scientists discovered that the mantises found it difficult to identify the bugs together with narrow stripes moving at speeds.
This is thought to be since the stripes in the creature observable to the predator and harder to see when they move at speed.
It’s the first time that it has been demonstrated that some animals benefit from moving to hide themselves, while it’s been known for some time now that creatures camouflage by mixing into their environment.
This study, Professor Candy Rowe’s author, explained that the speed and stripes are a winning combination in the wild.
“While we did so experiment by all praying mantises chasing cosmic bugs onto a computer screen, the exact identical principle should apply in the wild,” he explained.
“So perhaps stripes help to hide zebras running over the plains, or hoverflies flitting from flower to flower,” she said.Prof Rowe went on to mention that footballers could benefit from your signs.
“So Newcastle United’s stripes could be assisting throw away their opponents – provided that the players are running fast enough,” she explained.
Sir Alex Ferguson switched the gray away kit at half-time of Manchester United whenever they have been losing a match in 1996. The supervisor said that he felt that they blended in with the audience and players weren’t able to earn out each other in the bright sunshine. Manchester United never wore this kit .
